Speaking & bookings
I speak about who gets believed, who gets paid and who gets into the room.
Talent agent, cultural brand strategist and chief executive. I take audiences inside the rooms where culture becomes commercial: how authority is built, who it pays, and what it takes to be believed by the people holding the budget.
Previously worked with
Signature talks
Seven talks. One argument each.
Every talk is reframed for the room it is given in. Pick the closest fit and I will shape it around your audience on a pre-event call.
The room leaves able to argue for culture in budget terms: what live entertainment returns, who it employs and where it fails without investment. Drawn from running a live entertainment company with 22 years of history and delivering festivals, arenas and diplomatic missions.
- The economics behind a cultural moment
- Where public money actually moves the needle
- What infrastructure looks like when it works
