The Core Team

Saskia Listle

Co-Founder and
Minimum Viable Provocateur

As Minimum Viable Provocateur (MVP) of the Academy of Future Skills, I focus on transforming how organizations and individuals navigate rapidly evolving landscapes by creating cultures of collaboration, creativity, and growth.

My passion lies in seamlessly intersecting the gap between people and technology, fostering environments where innovation and inclusivity drive success. In my work, I’ve embraced technology as a teacher and partner for growth, inspiring teams to simplify operations and adopt approaches that build stronger, more adaptive workplaces. Organizations partner with me to reimagine how they work, ensuring they’re equipped not just for today but for the opportunities of tomorrow.

I am also a dedicated advocate for diversity and equity, working to ensure underrepresented voices are heard and valued in shaping the future. By championing inclusion, I strive to build a world where everyone can access opportunities and realize their potential.
