Speaking Chairing Interviewing Moderating
I make conversations work. On stage, on panels, in studios, and in rooms where the stakes are high and the time is short. I’ve chaired global conferences, moderated tough panel discussions, interviewed CEOs, founders, and government ministers, and hosted podcasts where the real story matters more than the talking points. I know how to read a room, cut through noise, ask the question everyone’s thinking, and keep audiences engaged from the first line to the last. If you want someone who can hold the room, elevate the conversation, and make people listen, you’re in the right place.
The Nudge Economy
I don’t do “inspiring talks.” I do let’s-start-something conversations. I’m on my third act after being a CEO, an author, and going back to school. In reinventing myself, I discovered something obvious but urgent: Gen Z doesn’t need saving, they need nudging.
So that’s what I do. As co-founder of LeadReal Ventures, I nudge young people to start: projects, platforms or ideas before they feel ready. And I show audiences how they can do the same. No hierarchy. No heroics. Just small, intentional nudges that help the next generation get moving. If you want a polished keynote, keep scrolling. If you want a room ready to help someone start something — you’re in the right place.
Holding Up The Sky
From Ukraine's President Zelensky to your frontline Team Leader, to Gen-Z out in the community, those that lead best are in the game, connecting with people. They hold up the sky and engage, enable and energize other people. They are #HeadsUp. They have a rhythm about them. 1.5.30. It's a drum beat.

Manage To Engage
And yes, I can talk about my best selling book. Manage to Engage: 2Fs and 7Cs - a report card you can be proud of. If you can master these operationally, everyday, you can master retention, engagement, results and transformation.
