Four Words Audiences Say After I Do A Keynote.

Hello. I'm Harvey.
Are you planning an event and need a speaker who can rock the stage?
Your audience will love your event if they either leave inspired or learn something useful for their jobs. I say, "Why not both"? And we can make it entertaining too.
I started my career in the music and entertainment industry. Through my 25 years in marketing, I've used humour to entertain as much as I've informed. How? I lift the lid on my 12 years on the original Xbox team, educating organisations on my jam - product marketing. I do this whilst untangling complex data and simplifying concepts into easy-to-understand, actionable insights.
2023 saw me hit the road to educate, inspire and motivate audiences in New York, San Francisco, Oakland, Amsterdam, London and online.
Because I'm on your team, we'll work together - I'll assist with pre-planning, be fully present on event day, and add value post-event.
Are you ready to rock?
Harvey.
