Having worked across 30+ countries with diverse cultures and industries, I bring a truly international viewpoint that resonates with global audiences.
Every strategy, framework, and insight comes from real-world application. Your team gets actionable tools they can implement immediately.

No death by PowerPoint. I combine storytelling, humor, and interactive elements to keep your audience engaged and energized throughout.
My speaking style is real-world experience mixed with practical wisdom and a bit of humour. I’ve spent my career in corporate boardrooms, startups, and on mountains where mistakes kill you. My keynote speeches aren’t lectures; they’re experiences that connect, provoke, and stick. I simplify complex ideas into stories people remember long after your event ends.
