SPEAKING

Conversations at the intersection of technology, creative work, and how to actually live well in the modern world.

00 · The Angle

Not the typical speaker.

Most conference speakers are operators or coaches. I happen to be both. Over fourteen years inside Fortune 500 security organizations (IBM, Red Hat, Meta, Microsoft) while also building independent music, fashion, and creative businesses. That dual background, corporate execution and creative independence, is what I bring to the room.

Direct delivery. No corporate hedging. No motivational fluff. Stories, numbers, and tradeoffs.

01 · Two Speaking Tracks

Pick the conversation that fits your audience.

Track A · Corporate / Tech

Cloud Security, AI, & Modern Operations

For security teams, engineering orgs, executive briefings, and industry conferences. Operator depth, not vendor pitch.

Sample Topics

Cloud Security at Scale AI Agents in Security Programs SBOM & Supply Chain Compliance Automation Security Automation with AI Agents Acquisition Integration

Track B · Lifestyle / Self-Mastery

Identity, Discipline, & Modern Social Dynamics

For coaching events, lifestyle summits, podcasts, and high-performance communities. Practical frameworks from someone who lives them.

Sample Topics

Self-Mastery for Operators Modern Social Dynamics Building Multiple Identities Discipline & Long-Game Wealth Creative Entrepreneurship Nomad & Sovereign Lifestyle

Audiences usually want one or the other. Some want both. The cross-pollination is part of the value.
