Keynote Speaker

Relevant & Relatable

Whether on a college campus, at an in-house corporate event, addressing the parliament, a webinar, or on a TEDx stage, the goal is always the same - be relevant to the event and relatable to the audience.

My diverse background growing up in 11 countries on 4 continents, multi-content education including Yale University, MBA from Trinity College and currently PhD in Entrpreneurship at RWTH as well as my work portfolio as a founder, investor, entrepreneurship adjunct lecturer, radio presenter, advisor to the National Government of Ireland, recording artist and consultant brings unique case studies and fresh insights to audiences around the world.

ADAPT or DIE

"Adapt or Die" - was the theme of my recent keynote speech on digital transformation at Beiersdorf in Hamburg, Germany. This 140+ year old company is behind some of the biggest skincare brands in the world (ever heard of Nivea?!) I was honored and humbled that Beiersdorf asked me to be the Opening Keynote Speaker at their People Summit 2024. For over 90 minutes, to a packed room of in-person attendees as well as an online audience, I shared case studies, best practices, and opportunities for Beiersdorf to keep evolving in an ever-changing world.

DIVERSITY & INCLUSION

DIVERSITY & INCLUSION

The son of an Indian diplomat, I grew up in 11 countries on 4 continents building a sense of ‘home’ wherever I went. Turned into a TEDx talk, it interweaves anecdotes from my life being an ‘alien’ and covers themes of individuality, diversity, and community. Particularly geared at corporate and youth settings, this keynote encourages the notion of stepping out one’s comfort zone in order to truly find yourself.

START NOW, START SIMPLE

The most motivational of my talks, this chronicles my story of being unemployed in a foreign land down to my last penny all the way to managing over $500 million funds and becoming an advisor to the National Government. A popular talk from teenagers to aspiring entrepreneurs, the talk is guaranteed to challenge people to start making their dreams a reality.
