Gregg Braden is a five-time New York Times best-selling author, scientist, educator and pioneer bridging science, social policy and human potential who, from 1979 to 1991, worked as a problem solver during times of crisis for Fortune 500 companies including Cisco Systems, where he became the first Technical Operations Manager leading development of the global technical support system for the early internet before leaving in 1991 to write and teach full-time. Braden’s research resulted in the 2003 discovery of intelligent information encoded into the human genome and the 2010 application of fractal time to predict future occurrences of past events, leading to 15 film credits and 12 award-winning books now published in over 40 languages including “The Isaiah Effect,” “The God Code,” “The Divine Matrix,” “The Spontaneous Healing of Belief,” “Fractal Time,” “Human by Design,” “The Wisdom Codes,” and “Pure Human” (2025). Listed on the United Kingdom’s Watkins Journal among the top 100 of “the world’s most spiritually influential living people” for the 11th consecutive year, Braden was a 2020 nominee for the prestigious Templeton Award, having presented his discoveries in over 34 countries on six continents to audiences including The United Nations, Fortune 500 companies and the U.S. military. Braden is a member of scientific and visionary organizations including the American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS), the Institute of HeartMath’s Global Coherence Initiative, and the Source of Synergy Evolutionary Leadership Circle, while serving as an original signatory of the 2017 Fuji Declaration. For over two decades, Braden has journeyed into remote mountain villages, monasteries, and temples of Tibet, Peru, and Egypt to study ancient texts and spiritual traditions, merging modern science with the wisdom of our past to reveal real-world solutions to contemporary challenges.
Why their voice matters: Braden uniquely combines technical expertise from his career solving complex problems for Fortune 500 companies with extensive research into ancient spiritual traditions, demonstrating how discoveries about human DNA, fractal time patterns, and heart-brain coherence validate what ancient wisdom keepers have long taught, while offering practical frameworks for tapping into human potential and creating resilience during times of unprecedented global change.
