People behind Sustensis
Managing Partner
Tony Czarnecki – Managing Partner
Tony is a futurist, who spent most of his life working world-wide as a consultant for large global companies. In 1996, he founded SUSTENSIS, a Management Consultancy focusing on Business Sustainability, which tried to answer the question: “How can companies survive for ever?”, obviously not literally. During that time, Sustensis included over 50 partners. In 2018 Sustensis was converted into a Think Tank on Humanity’s transition to coexistence with Superintelligence, when Tony realised that perhaps it is time to ask: “How can human species be preserved for ever?” No wonder then, that Tony is a long-time member of the London Futurists.

His most recent book, released in July 2023 is “Prevail or Fail: A Civilisational Shift to the World of Transhumans“.
