Speaking

Conferences
and stages.

I speak about AI, publishing, culture, and what it actually takes to build AI products that work. The talks are about what's actually happening — not what the industry is afraid of, or pretending to be excited about.

What I speak about

Four areas, one thread

The talks look different depending on the audience, but they all pull on the same question: what's actually changing, and what does that mean for how you act right now?

AI & Culture

What generative AI is doing to how culture gets made, distributed, and discovered — and why the feedback loops forming right now will be harder to reverse than they look.

AI & Publishing

GEO, the post-search world, what it means when your most powerful new bookseller has never read a book. Practical and strategic in equal measure.

Building AI Products

What it actually takes to go from "we should use AI" to a product or system that works and keeps working. For founders, CPOs, and leadership teams who want the honest version.

Product Discoverability in an AI World

How discoverability works when AI is the interface, what that changes for how products get found, and what teams can do about it before it's too late to matter.

Training & Workshops

Practical AI training

Alongside conference speaking, I deliver hands-on AI workshops for corporate teams, publisher networks, and university students. The goal is always the same: real application over theory, judgment over dependency. I reduce fear, build judgment, and keep it grounded in real constraints.

PublishHer

Hands-on AI training for women across publishing and creative industries. Practical, everyday use — editorial, marketing, rights, operations — for non-technical audiences.

Founder & Entrepreneur (1:1)

Tailored sessions for founders who want to use AI to move faster, think more clearly, and reduce unnecessary manual work. Practical, not abstract.

Corporate Teams

Workshops for organisations at any stage of AI adoption. From first introduction through to workflow integration and confidence-building for non-technical staff.

Available for keynotes, panels, and moderation.
