Ade McCormack - Welcome to the Digital Age

Clients engage me when they need a compelling speaker who can communicate how the world is changing.

Audiences leave with a different and more empowering view on how to thrive in an increasingly uncertain and volatile world. I take an anthropological perspective and relate it to, for example:

Business models, innovation, attention, cognition, leadership, technology (AI, robotics), talent, risk, culture, future of work, strategy and transformation.

See me live!

We wanted someone who would engage our leadership differently. Ade did this brilliantly. Engaging, fast paced and multifaceted. Just what was needed to shake things up a little in the last session of our conference!

Helen MacPhee
VP Finance
AstraZeneca
We recently held a conference in Milan around “Digital” for our senior partners throughout the MED region (Italy, Spain and Portugal) and Ade joined us by VC as a keynote speaker. Even by VC Ade kept the audience captive with lots of note taking and it also provoked a lot of discussion after the event. One of the most compelling keynote speakers that we have had in the MED region.

Joanne Jones
EMEIA Markets Operations And Execution Team Leader
EY
Ade understands business and IT opportunities through the lens of executives and how to present this back in a concise manner with clear takeaways.

Robbert Kuppens
Global CIO
Boston Consulting Group
Ade spoke at an event for around 250 of our UK & Israel Technology team. Ade has a fantastic presentation style, and it was clear in the prep calls that he was able to take our overall theme of the event and link that to his presentation. I would highly recommend Ade as a motivational speaker and thought leader.

Hannah Bertolone
Cloud Programme Leader
Oracle
Ade McCormack sounds a much-needed clarion call for IT to “grow up” and become a mature business function.
