Speaking
Keynotes on agentic AI, digital transformation, and the CIO agenda.
Available for keynotes, panels, workshops, webinars, and guest lectures. 25+ years of hands-on enterprise experience; 8 past engagements across MENA and APAC; President of Pro AI Global (Australia).
What I bring to the stage.
Globally recognised CIO. Three-time CIO 200 Global Champion. Published author of five books, creator of twelve courses, founder of SyncBricks Technologies. I bring hands-on deployment experience, 55+ agents in production, 250+ processes mapped, 300% ROI, not secondary research.
Comfortable with technical depth (MCP, RAG, agent architectures) and with board-level framing (risk, governance, ROI, change leadership). Happy to tailor to the audience, shorter keynote, longer workshop, panel moderation, or a session that blends all three.
Eight signature talks.
Each can run 30–60 minutes keynote or expand to a half-day workshop. I will tailor the case studies to your audience.
