Speaking and media

AI keynote speaker for conferences, executive teams and boards. Where AI came from, where it's heading next, and what to do about it.

Where AI came from, where it's heading, and what to do about it.

I speak to conference audiences, executive teams and boards about AI: what's actually happening, where it's heading, and what it means for the people and organizations living through it.

I've spent my career going early to new technology, building with it, and coming back to make sense of it for everyone else, so the talks come from what I've seen and done rather than a vendor's slide deck.

Three talks, shaped to your room.

Where AI came from, and where it's heading next

The history of AI in one sitting, where we really are today, and the shifts coming next. For audiences who want to understand what's going on before they decide what to do about it.

Best for: Conference keynotes, company kickoffs and all-hands

From adoption to reorganization

How many of you have approved an AI budget in the last twelve months? Most hands go up. How many could say exactly what you got for it? Far fewer. That gap is what happens when a technology that keeps moving runs through change programs built for technology that held still. This talk is about what to do instead: stop adding AI to the old way of working, and reorganize around what's now possible.

Best for: Leadership teams, boards and industry conferences

The future of your industry

I paint the future for a specific industry, function or team: what's changing, what becomes possible, and where to place your bets. We shape it together beforehand, so the room spends the session thinking big about its own opportunities and leaves knowing where to start.

Best for: Executive offsites, leadership retreats and industry events

From the main stage to the boardroom.
