Not another satisfactory keynote.

I've spent 30 years building brands, 10 of those at Google. I've launched AI products, created the most talked-about executive events in the industry, and performed stand-up comedy at Edinburgh Festival and The Comedy Store. I know how to hold a room.

What I do

Keynotes. Workshops. Hosting.

I don't do one-size-fits-all. Every brief is different. Every room is different. Here's what I can bring.

Keynotes

The talk they actually remember.

High-energy, story-driven talks that make your audience think differently about brand, AI, creativity and what it means to be unmissable. Not a slide deck. Not a lecture. Something they'll actually remember walking out the door.

Workshops

Hands on. Not hands up.

Practical sessions where people actually do things. AI tools, brand strategy, personal branding, storytelling. Small groups, big energy. Everyone leaves with something they can use the next day.

Hosting & Awards

Not reading an autocue. Actually hosting.

Conferences, panels, awards ceremonies, fireside chats. I bring warmth, wit, pace and the kind of energy that makes everyone in the room feel like they're part of something.

The stage, the stand-up, the boardroom

Most speakers have a presentation. I have a set.

I've performed stand-up comedy at the Edinburgh Festival and The Comedy Store in London. Not as a hobby. As someone who wanted to know what it feels like to hold a room with nothing but a microphone and a story.

That experience changed everything about how I speak. It taught me timing, vulnerability, how to read a room in real time, and how to make 500 people feel like you're talking just to them.

The boardroom brain with the stand-up delivery. That's the combination.

Whether it's a room of 50 CMOs or a conference of 2,000, I bring the same energy: prepared, personal, and impossible to tune out.

What I talk about

Topics that make rooms lean in.

Every talk is tailored to the audience. But these are the themes I keep coming back to, because they keep landing.

Keynote

Building unmissable brands in the age of AI

How to use AI as your enabler and amplifier without losing the thing that makes your brand human.

Keynote

Creativity and AI: the enabler and the author

AI can do a lot of things. But it can't be you. Why the best work still starts with a human story.

Keynote / Workshop

Building a personal brand through storytelling

Your brand is the story people tell about you when you're not in the room. How to shape it and own it.

Keynote / Masterclass

Creating events people can't stop talking about

Google's Executive Summit, rated the best in the industry for 7 years. Trust, connection and electric rooms.

Keynote

Connecting with culture when building a brand

Brands that ignore culture become invisible. Tapping into moments that matter and staying relevant.

Keynote / Panel

Leadership, careers and what success actually looks like

30 years of building and breaking things. The honest version, not the LinkedIn version.

Where I've spoken

Stages, studios and boardrooms.
