Conversations that move the industry forward

I’m a speaker, moderator and facilitator with two decades of experience across media, brands, innovation and entrepreneurship. I bring that experience to conversations that challenge thinking and move industries forward.

My sessions combine research, first-hand experience and candid storytelling, making them equally relevant to boardrooms, conferences, leadership teams and founder communities.

Whether I’m speaking with global executives, entrepreneurs, educators, investors or policymakers, I bring together disciplines that don’t often meet, combining commercial thinking, design, behavioural insight and creative strategy to explore complex ideas and solve real-world problems.

Talks Built from Experience

How creators and entrepreneurs can build enduring businesses by owning their audience, intellectual property and distribution.
Why culturally grounded brands consistently outperform generic ones, and what organisations can learn from authentic storytelling.
Why children's media is one of the world's most influential industries, and what governments, investors and brands continue to underestimate.
Why owning ideas creates greater long-term value than simply delivering products or services.
How identity, local insight and cultural intelligence become strategic advantages in an increasingly global marketplace.
Leadership, resilience and the psychology of building ambitious organisations whilst navigating uncertainty, partnership and family life.
What it will take for Africa to build globally recognised intellectual property, attract investment and retain more of the value it creates.
What creating products for young children teaches us about simplicity, trust, customer experience and product design.

Beyond the Stage

The best part comes after the talk.

I’m interested in the decisions shaping the future of media, business and culture: who gets to build, what gets funded, which ideas travel, and how we create products, stories and companies that genuinely matter.
