Public Speaking

More than 50 stages on opportunity, product and growth. 

Teaching and advocacy are a large part of my work. I speak about equal opportunities and access to global work, about building and scaling products, and about the personal development habits that carry a career.

Themes

What I speak about

Equal opportunities

Access to global work for African talent, how hiring gatekeeping shows up in practice, and what platforms, governments and employers can change.

Product

Building and growing products from zero to first users, product-led growth, and how legal thinking makes products safer and more trusted.

Personal development

Career strategy, standing out for global remote roles, LinkedIn and personal brand, and laying the right foundations early.
