My speaking sits at the intersection of search, AI, and real-world decision making.
I don’t talk about AI as a shiny object or a looming threat. I focus on what’s actually changing underneath (search, discovery, visibility, technologies and careers) and how leaders, teams, and individuals can adapt without chasing every new headline.
Topics I Cover
AI and the Evolution of Search & Discovery What’s actually changing, what isn’t, and where traditional assumptions break down.
Visibility and Trust in AI-Mediated Environments How brands, content, and expertise surface when AI systems sit between businesses and audiences.
Adapting Strategy When the Rules Are in Flux How to make decisions when best practices lag reality.
Career Resilience During Industry Disruption How skills compound, how roles shift, and how to stay valuable as systems evolve.
Building Durable Advantage, Not Tactical Dependency Why chasing tools and tactics is fragile and what lasts instead.
Each talk is tailored to the audience and context. I don’t recycle slide decks or force the same narrative into every room.
Formats
I’m comfortable and effective in keynotes, conference sessions, panels, fireside chats, executive briefings, workshops, podcasts, and interviews.
I don’t shy away from unscripted formats, in fact, I often prefer them when the audience is senior. Real conversations tend to land harder than polished monologues.
Past Speaking
I’ve spoken at SXSW, SMX Advanced, SMX Next, State of Search, SEOktoberfest, The Knowledge Graph Conference, BrightonSEO, Marketing Artificial Intelligence Conference (MAICON), Pubcon, and dozens more, ranging from large-scale keynotes to focused executive sessions, company offsites, podcasts, and university programs.
My background includes senior roles at Microsoft and Yext, which often anchors credibility with both technical and business audiences.
