About
I help IBM to TELL BETTER STORIES by coaching consultants, sales teams and senior executives to create more compelling pitches, presentations or keynotes for important stages and large deals.
I have recently created teams of AI-Assistants (on LLM's on IBM's watsonx platform) to mirror the personality types of different audiences, to help build better stories faster. I patented this methodology in Q4 2024, which we are now turning into a suite of digital products and offerings.
My mission is to help business leaders to communicate more effectively. Good humans + technology to help make the world work a bit better.
I host "The Truth in Ten" podcast - a show about mission critical storytelling featuring leaders who have used their words to change the world in some way.
Author of "The 109 Rules of Storytelling". A project which started as a post on Linkedin and quickly turned into a book with a month!
At IBM I lead the "Impact Storytelling Program" and created IBM's Communications Thinking™; a system I invented to help executives and future business leaders use Generative-AI to build stronger narratives (on the page, on screen, in boardrooms or on stage).
I mostly work as a speechwriter and communications coach behind the scenes, but I occasionally give conference keynotes and host lectures at universities and business schools; mostly around AI, social impact, climate change and how technology can make the world work a bit better.
When I'm not talking about IBM, writing speeches or drawing my "one pagers", I am usually riding my bike, playing my D-28 or drinking bourbon somewhere nice. I enjoy spending too much money on vinyl, rare business books and vintage typewriters.
Whenever I have the opportunity, I love spending time with future business leaders and young professionals, helping them to find their voice and share their story
In past lives I have owned my own agency, written four books and worked for brands such as Nike, MTV, Rovio, LVMH, Uber and Vodafone. I have worked on strategic accounts with Facebook’s largest ad agency and led marketing strategy teams at Adobe and Salesforce. I have also spent some time as a giraffe keeper!
