Keynote Topics

The AI Fitness Gap

Executive AI Fitness

Every executive team is running an AI transformation programme. Almost none of them include the executive. That gap — between delegating AI and personally leading it — is where companies lose the race. This talk shows exactly what it costs, and what it takes to close it.

The AI-Native Company

How to rebuild core business processes from scratch before a competitor does it for you. The hard truth: it starts with the person at the top knowing the technology well enough to lead — not just oversee.

Executive AI Fitness: The New Leadership Imperative

Executive AI Fitness

The same executives who invest in executive coaches, performance advisors, and board mentors are leaving AI fluency to chance. This talk makes the case for why getting AI-fit is now a non-negotiable leadership requirement — and what a personal training programme actually looks like.

Founder to Operator: What You Need to Unlearn

What changes at every phase of your company, what you must leave behind — and why the AI era is the hardest unlearning moment a leader will face. The skills that got you here will not get you there.

The Beekeeper Story: 4 Pivots Before Takeoff

The unfiltered story of building one of Europe's leading enterprise SaaS companies through four near-failures. And what AI changes about every single lesson we learned.

Some executives hear these talks and want to go deeper — beyond insight, into practice.
