Keynotes on AI for the rooms deciding what to do about it.
I have built and sold technology businesses across two cycles. My keynotes give boards, leadership teams and conference audiences a clear read on AI, and the language to act on it.

The keynotes
Three talks, built for the decision in the room.
Each is shaped to your sector and audience in a short discovery call beforehand. Most rooms start with the first.

Technology cycles
This Time It Rhymes
The dotcom era and the AI cycle, and what the last great technology shift tells your board about this one. My signature keynote, drawn from operating through both.
How boards put real guardrails around AI without freezing the organisation that needs to use it. Accountability, risk and decision rights, in plain terms.
What AI actually changes about how teams work, which roles hold, and how to lead people through a shift that is equal parts new capability and quiet anxiety.
Boards and executive teams. Leaders weighing where AI sits in the plan, what return is realistic, and how to govern it. They want frameworks and named cases, not inspiration.
Conferences and summits. A main stage keynote that gives a mixed audience a shared read on the moment, and something usable once they are back at their desks.
Financial services and regulated industries. A decade at ANZ across payments, markets and the plumbing of global finance, so the talk lands in the language of risk aware organisations.
Leadership offsites and L&D. Smaller rooms that want to move from the talk into their own decisions, with a workshop that turns ideas into a plan the team owns.
How it works
Customised, not off the shelf.
1
Discovery
A short call on your audience, your sector, and the one thing the room should think differently about.
2
The keynote
Forty five to sixty minutes, built to that brief, in person or virtual.

The follow through
An optional workshop that turns the ideas into decisions your team owns.
Booking
The practical questions.
How do I hire an AI keynote speaker? +
Send through your event date, audience and the outcome you are after. We have a short discovery conversation to shape the talk, then it is customised to your room and confirmed.
What does an AI keynote cost? +
The fee depends on the format, the location and how much customisation the event needs. Enquire with your details and you will get a clear quote back, including the option to add a workshop.
How far ahead should we book? +
For major events, six to twelve months is ideal and gives the most room to customise. Shorter timelines often work if the dates line up, so it is worth asking.
Do you speak virtually and interstate? +
Yes. Based in Melbourne, speaking across Australia and internationally, in person and virtually.
