Marketing keynotes and workshops, without the theatre.
For more than twenty years I led marketing inside some of the world's biggest technology and cybersecurity brands. On stage I turn that into talks and workshops that founders, marketing teams and students can actually use. Practical, honest, and built for the room, not for my showreel.
Sessions built around the decisions that actually move a business.
Not marketing theory. The themes I am asked for most:
Marketing strategy and how real decisions get made
Where to compete, what to prioritise and what to stop, drawn from how the biggest brands actually think and decide.
Messaging and positioning
Why most businesses undersell their value and blend in with their competitors, and how to say the thing that makes the right customers choose you.
Go-to-market for founders and SMEs
Turning a good product into a repeatable way to win the right customers, in the right order.
Personal branding
A hands-on workshop on how founders, leaders and teams build a credible profile that opens doors, without it feeling like self-promotion.
The right format for the right room.
Keynotes
A main-stage talk that leaves the room with a clear, usable point of view.
Workshops
Hands-on sessions where a team or cohort works on their own marketing, not a generic deck.
Panels and hosting
Moderating, chairing and compering, keeping a conversation sharp, balanced and on time.
Guest lectures
University and student sessions on real-world marketing, decision-making and careers.
Podcasts
A guest who brings specifics and straight talk rather than recycled talking points.

Talk to me about your event.
Whether it is a keynote, a workshop or a panel, tell me the audience, the date and what you want them to walk away with, and I will tell you honestly whether I am the right fit.
- Straightforward conversation about your event and audience
- An honest view on whether the format and topic is the right fit
- A clear next step either way
Not sure whether it is the right fit? Send a message anyway.
The worst I can say is it is not quite right for this audience. The best outcome is a session that actually changes how a room thinks about marketing.
Over two decades of enterprise marketing experience. One honest conversation.
