Why Book Alex

One of the most qualified voices on AI you can put on a stage.

No other voice on the AI circuit has operated a $1.1B emerging-technology portfolio across 14 countries, written the Wall Street Journal bestseller on innovation, advised the California State University system on one of the largest AI rollouts in public higher education, and then earned a 99% recommendation score across 300+ rooms of executives, engineers, and skeptics. It's not a positioning claim, it's a verifiable record.

He built it, he didn't just read about it.

Alex ran Cisco's Global Innovation Centers across 14 countries, managing a $1.1B portfolio that generated $400M in revenue. When he talks about building AI-ready organizations, it's what he actually did, not a framework from a consulting deck.

99% recommend him, measured, not claimed.

Talkadot post-event data across 582+ audience responses: 99% would recommend, 97% relevance, 100% content quality. Collected in the room, right after he walks off stage.

He actually customizes, every time.

Every booking is tailored up front. The talk on your stage isn't pulled from a catalog, it's built around your room, whether that's a board, an all-hands, or a policy summit.

Every room, every continent.

Elected officials, Fortune 10 boards, university faculty, HR all-hands, technical engineering teams, often in the same audience. 40 countries, 6 continents. The content adjusts; the authority doesn't.

No vendor pitch disguised as a talk.

No consulting firm to upsell, no software to promote, no coaching program to close. Your audience gets independent perspective, which is exactly why they act on it. Zero conflicts, on stage or off.

Credentials your leadership will recognize.

WSJ bestselling author (Fearless Innovation, Wiley). Forbes contributor. Innovator-in-Residence, Tulane. AI Advisor, CSU system. Co-author of ISO 56002. IEEE Senior Member, what your stakeholders find when they Google him.

Why Audiences Love Alex

Eye-opening, refreshingly human, and capable of building a shared vision around AI. These are just a few ways leaders at Coca Cola, AWS, and Disney described Alex's keynotes and workshops.

Audiences leave "inspired and informed" — to borrow Google's words — and here's why.
01

No canned AI keynotes

Forget one-size-fits-all presentations. Alex tailors content to the unique challenges, audience, and goals to maximize outcomes. No two keynotes are ever the same.
02

Innovation for everyone

Focusing on practical concepts, not techspeak, Alex resonates with HR, sales, marketing, and others, bridging cultures, generations, and understanding, perfect for organizations.
03

Value beyond the stage

The impact of other keynotes fizzle. But Alex's actionable keynotes resonate long after, while optional workshops build lasting enthusiasm for innovation.
04

Expertise with real ROI

An AI expert and data-driven executive, Alex utilizes AI to analyze pre-event sentiment to inform content. Post-event, teams get meaningful metrics to guide innovation strategies—and see Alex's ROI.
05

Flexible engagements

Alex captivates and educates live on stage in , on webinars, or during virtual events, giving you flexible options that best fit your requirements.
