SPEAKING
Bring Narrative Strategy to Life on Your Stage.
I speak at industry conferences, company all-hands, and leadership summits on brand storytelling, content strategy, and building narratives that move people to act. 15+ years of Fortune 500 experience, a Simon & Schuster book deal, and a performer’s instinct for holding a room.
Speaking Topics
The Story Your Company Forgot to Tell
Why most B2B companies lose deals before the first call — and how a unified narrative strategy turns your entire organization into a sales force. Ideal for SaaS conferences, marketing summits, and leadership offsites.
Content Engineering: Building AI-Driven Narrative Systems
How to integrate storytelling principles directly into your AI content production workflows so every piece of content is on-brand before the first word is written. For tech-forward audiences and marketing operations teams.
The Executive Visibility Playbook
Why your CEO’s LinkedIn presence matters more than your latest ad campaign — and the exact system for turning executives into trusted industry voices. Perfect for C-suite audiences and leadership retreats.
From Features to Feelings: Product Messaging That Converts
How to translate complex technical products into stories that buyers understand, trust, and act on. Designed for product marketing, product management, and sales enablement teams.
Custom Topics
I develop custom keynotes and workshops tailored to your event theme, audience, and goals. Past topics have spanned brand architecture, using behavioral science to create better copy, B2B storytelling, and how emotions win over product.
