Talks & training

I have been asked to speak at events across the globe to share insights on building delightful and innovative products.

I also regularly run training and intelligence sessions for funds, investors and consultancy firms.

• Live audiences up to 20,000 people
• Talks, interviews, Q&As, fireside chats

I now act as an advisor & mentor to organisations around the world on product, design, and leadership.
