“This is a milestone for Hyper Island. Sofia brings a very strong and inclusive leadership in combination with extensive experience from leading and growing companies worldwide. It is exactly what we need.

“There is not a week that passes that I don’t realize what a positive impact Hyper Island has had on me and how it has helped me leapfrog my knowledge. The Miami marketplace is hungry to know more about digital disruption, and I look forward to this partnership helping to get a lot of leaders up to speed and up to date on all things digital!”

“Our aim is to empower people and organizations to see, understand and act on the opportunities created by the digital evolution. Disruption will hit us all, it doesn’t matter what industry you are in. When we face it head-on we’re better prepared with the mindset to see opportunities rather than threats.”

“Living in Miami, it's incredible to see the entrepreneurial energy blossoming here. Miami has a lot of momentum for embracing disruption and all the opportunities that come with that. It’s critical to never stop learning. At Hyper Island you blend learnings from instructors and your fellow participants, which is unique.”

The report suggests a shift in focus from more technology-oriented trends to more organization-oriented trends. The ‘new cool thing’ is no longer to be on top of all the new technology.
