A person who believes in or advocates for disruption as a strategy or philosophy, especially in business or social change.
Formed from 'disruption' plus the suffix '-ist' (from Latin -ista, indicating a follower or practitioner of a doctrine). This is a relatively modern coinage reflecting 21st-century business ideology.
'Disruptionist' emerged as entrepreneurs turned disruption into an actual philosophy—it's like they needed a special word to describe people who actively seek to break things in the name of progress, making destruction sound noble.
