Who's in the room, what they need to leave thinking, and when. Riaz builds every session for the audience in front of him, so the more you share below, the sharper the brief. Everything else your team needs to plan around him, formats, logistics, bios and a stage introduction, is on this page too.
Our next speaker spent 27 years at the top of the consulting world, as a Senior Partner at EY, and now teaches leadership and innovation as Professor of Practice at Hult International Business School.
He advises the President of Indonesia's cabinet on national transformation, founded a free school in London, and gives away every pound he earns from speaking.
He's here to make the case that in a world that won't stop changing, the leaders who thrive are Curious, Bold and Human. Please welcome Riaz Shah OBE.

Riaz's work follows one thread: the forces reshaping the world, Demographics, Attitudes and Technology, and what they demand of the leaders responding to them. He calls that response Curious, Bold and Human, a framework built from data-driven storytelling that turns rigorous research into ideas audiences remember, delivered with enough wit to keep a room engaged. Across his sessions, the word delegates reach for most is "inspiring."
Beyond the stage, Riaz advises the President of Indonesia and his cabinet on national transformation, and founded One Degree Academy, an award-winning free school in London born from a promise to a dying friend. He donates all net speaking fees to charity. He was awarded an OBE by King Charles III for his services to education.
