FAQs
Who should I hire to speak about AI transformation?
I help leadership teams understand how AI reshapes work, capability, and competitive advantage, without the hype or fear.

Bespoke Keynotes
I deliver bespoke, industry-specific keynotes that use AI as the backdrop, not the headline. Each session can be bespoke to industry and draws on cross-industry benchmarks from education, recruitment, banking, consulting, and professional services to show what is working, what is breaking, and where organisations are stuck. Coming from outside the system gives me licence to surface the elephants in the room, challenge comfortable assumptions, and create the conditions for honest discussion with me there or once I'm gone. The aim is not to prescribe a single answer, but to help leadership teams see their industry clearly, compare themselves to credible reference points, and make better decisions about how humans, work, and capability evolve together. The provocations can be deep or surface-level, but the aim is to enact change by asking questions that I would ask any organisation and leader.
Ideal For: Leaders responsible for shaping how people, work, and capability evolve as AI reshapes their industry
