Speaking & Workshops
Demystifying technology for executive boards and empowering teams through engaging talks and hands-on sessions. Practical, concrete, and grounded in real experience.
Your audience deserves more than slides and buzzwords.
Too many tech talks are abstract, too many workshops are generic. Your board doesn't need another AI overview — they need to understand what it means for your specific business. Your developers don't need theory — they need to see how AI-assisted workflows actually work in practice.
I bring a practitioner's perspective to every session. I build with the tools I talk about, lead the transformations I present on, and coach the teams I teach about. That means live demos, real stories, and practical takeaways — not recycled analyst reports.
Whether it's a 30-minute keynote or a full-day workshop, people leave with something they can use immediately.
Why organizations book me
Practitioner who presents
I'm not a professional speaker who reads about technology. I build with AI tools daily, lead transformation programs, and coach teams. Every talk is grounded in what I've actually done, not what I've read.
Community leader
As co-lead of the Copenhagen Claude Code community and part of a global network of 90+ AI community leaders, I regularly facilitate events, workshops, and peer learning sessions.
Executive and team audiences
I've presented to C-suites, facilitated board-level AI strategy sessions, and run hands-on workshops for developers. I adjust depth and language to the room.
Engaging, not lecturing
My background in journalism and visual storytelling means I know how to hold attention. My workshops are interactive, my talks are concrete, and people leave with something they can use Monday morning.
Popular talk topics
AI in the Enterprise
What's real, what's hype, and how to make confident decisions. Includes live demos of AI tools in action.
The Digital Transformation Reality Check
