A good event is not just about speakers or content - it is about direction.
As chairman of the day, I ensure that programme, flow and energy are aligned.
That speakers are shown off to their best advantage, the audience is kept hooked and the organisation is relieved.
I am involved in the preliminary process, tuning out sensitivities, monitoring the rhythm on the day itself - and making sure the whole thing feels like one flowing line.
Some of the events I recently chaired:
IEX Investor Day (2023)
Rabo Private Banking Day (2023)
FM Day - for Finance Managers & Controllers (2023)
IO Outlook Event - for Investment Officer (2023 & 2025)
Employer Branding Summit - for Recruiters United (2024)
From investor updates to internal townhalls, from recruitment conference to finance event: I bring structure, switching and sharpness - with calmness in preparation and energy on stage.
