I love to inspire. I love to challenge. I love to offer different perspectives. When I take the stage - whether it's at a large conference or in a boardroom for a smaller group - I thrive. I thrive because I know that I have the ability to both shake things up a little, push where it hurts to activate change, and touch hearts.

Topics

​

Over the past few years I have mostly delivered keynotes about technology, innovation and entrepreneurship, but I also speak on networking, life design, leadership and thinking outside the box.

​

These are some of the topics close to heart that I'm passionate about:

​

Technology:

• Tech trends in general - what does the future look like?

• How technology is affecting the future of jobs and skills needed.

• How technology is disrupting business models and the old ways of doing things.

• The pros and cons; while exponential technologies have massive positive potential, there are also risks, and they must be discussed.

​

Innovation and entrepreneurship:

• The need to build a culture of innovation and intrapreneurship in corporates. Big companies must copy the startup ways.

• Building power couples where large corporates and fast startups work together

• Communication and culture as critical elements of any organisation wanting to innovate. 

• Life as a serial entrepreneur.

• The eco system of entrepreneurship; talent (entrepreneurs), capital, corporates and government.

​

Life and lessons:

• Networking is crucial, but how? People do business with people and not companies.

• Designing your life to be able to do what you want.

• Failure as a necessary stepping stone for success.

​

Empowering the young:

• The youth are about 20% of the population, but 100% of our future. How do we activate them?

• Educating the young for the future and not the past.

​

My story:

• A story about dreaming big, jumping into the unknown, taking risks, failing, succeeding, and keeping on working for what I believe in. There have been a number of articles written and TV stories produced about my journey, and this summer I had the opportunity to do a one hour radio show telling my story.​
