John Krubski

Krubski is the product of a Jesuit education and a ZEN attitude. His perspective comes from a unique combination of talents and experiences - personal, professional and academic.

An Argentine-born child of Polish expatriate parents (he lived the Evita experience) who grew up in inner-city New Jersey and now lives in up-scale suburban Connecticut, Krubski's perspectives are as global as they are rich with personal experiences and anecdotes.

By age 24, Krubski had already enjoyed two careers, one as a radio newsman and another as a TV Scenic Designer and began a third career as the founder of a full-service advertising agency.

His advertising, media and marketing background rounded out with positions as the Producer of a TV newsmagazine program, sales executive for NBC Television and VP Marketing for the Television Bureau of Advertising.

Adding breath to depth, Krubski also took on the challenge of marketing an Information Technology service long before the rest of the world heard about "the Internet", and ultimately focused his talents as a leading executive with Yankelovich Partners, the premier consumer trend research company in the US, with stops in tele-marketing, syndicated television distribution and marketing consulting along the way.

After several years with Yankelovich and working with it's clients, America's top Fortune 10, 25, 100, 500 and 1 000 type companies as a consultant, futurist and trend-watcher, Krubski moved to a position as its Consulting Futurist.

Rounding out his credentials as the managing partner of the Futures Practice for CoKnowledge, a change-focused, collaborative managment consulting firm in Connecticut where he lives with his two children and his wife Joanie, Krubski is now devoting his full time efforts as Chairman of the International Thought Leadership Council.
