Keynotes that help leaders make better decisions in energy, climate, and supply chain disruption.
I work with leadership teams and conference audiences navigating electrification, sustainability, and systemic change – translating complexity into clarity and action.
What leaders leave with
- A clear mental model of what’s changing, and what isn’t
- The risks and opportunities most organisations are underestimating
- Practical examples of what’s already working at scale
- A shared language for leadership, strategy, and action
Why organisations book me
Clarity on complex transitions
I help audiences understand how energy, technology, and supply chains interact, and why linear thinking fails in a non-linear world.
Deep and wide systems perspective
Energy, climate, technology, and supply chains aren’t separate domains anymore. I connect the dots across sectors, helping audiences see the full landscape.
Experience with global audiences
From executive offsites to industry conferences, I’ve spoken to leaders across manufacturing, transport, tech, retail, and the public sector in Europe, the US, and beyond.
Signature keynote topics
1. The New Energy Reality: How Electrification Is Rewriting Global Business
Why the shift from fossil fuels to renewables is happening faster than most leaders grasp — and what it means for cost, resilience, storage, industry, and competitiveness.
2. Supply Chain Resilience in an Age of Permanent Disruption
How technology, data, AI, and geopolitics are reshaping modern supply chains — and the strategies leaders need to stay ahead of volatility.
3. Climate Innovation at Scale
A deep dive into the technologies and business models transforming industry: from low-carbon manufacturing to battery storage, zero-emissions transport, and nature-aligned solutions.
4. The Future of Industry: Where Technology and Sustainability Converge
How automation, digitalisation, and circularity are colliding with climate targets — and what “industry leadership” will look like in the 2030s.
All talks are adapted to audience seniority, sector, and strategic context.
