About Scott London

Scott London is a California-based journalist, author and consultant. He's spent the better part of two decades interviewing frontier thinkers and social innovators — men and women charting new directions in science, education, technology, management and other fields — and written extensively about the ideas and trends shaping our future

Scott's journalism spans print, radio and photography. He's published widely in newspapers and magazines, and has written, edited, and contributed to more than 20 books and publications. During the 1990s, he was host of "Insight & Outlook," a cultural affairs program heard on many National Public Radio stations in the United States and on global shortwave. He's also an award-winning photographer whose work has been published and exhibited in many parts of the world.

In recent years, Scott has devoted much of his time to consulting with academic, government, and nonprofit leaders on issues related to social innovation and civic renewal. He's led several national studies and research projects aimed at understanding how social innovators do their work, the power of informal networks, the uses (and misuses) of collaboration in the nonprofit world, and how communities transform and renew themselves.

Raised and educated in Sweden, Scott moved to the United States in 1990. He has a wife and two teenage daughters.
