AI speaking that connects strategy, delivery, and real-world impact

Keynotes, executive briefings, and workshops on AI adoption, strategy, and value delivery.

 

I deliver pragmatic, experience-led AI keynotes that equip leaders and teams to adopt, govern, and use AI effectively in real organizational settings, without hype or hand-waving.

My work includes executive briefings and large-scale talks for technical and non-technical audiences, translating complex AI topics into clear, actionable guidance that holds up in practice.
