Public Speaking

Over the last fifteen years I have done a lot of public speaking, mostly about the IT industry. These have included keynote talks at major vendor and user conferences, roadshows, product launches, seminars, etc. Clients include IBM, Hewlett-Packard, Microsoft, SAP, Compuware, Cognos - most of the major and many smaller vendors. During my time at Strategic Resaerch, and when I was Research Director at the GartnerGroup, I spoke extensively at all manner of event, throughout Asia Pacific. Most of the time I have received very good reviews and ratings. Read some testimonials.
