I am a technologist, former university professor, and internationally recognized lecturer who has been presenting on stages worldwide for over three decades. I’m known for turning keynotes into high-energy, performative experiences that blend storytelling, comedy, and technology to keep audiences engaged while provoking critical reflection on media, product strategy, and culture.
I’ve spoken at leading conferences and universities across North America, Europe, South America, and Asia. Over the years, I’ve evolved my format by integrating live media manipulation, improvisation, and audience interaction. I also trained in stand-up, improv, and crowd work at Upright Citizens Brigade and The Second City, translating those skills into a hybrid practice that merges narrative, humor, and embodied performance.
This approach blurs the line between lecture and entertainment, creating events that feel as alive and unpredictable as the subjects I explore.
