Speaking & teaching

I make the case for data monetisation — in keynotes, executive briefings, and the classroom.

These are the rooms where the argument gets tested: where boards, executive teams and graduate students push back, and where the ideas in my writing get sharpened.

Topics

What I speak about

Data monetisation: routes to value creation

How organisations turn data assets into durable revenue, valuation and customer outcomes.

Platform economics & network effects

Three waves of platform value creation, and how to engineer network effects rather than hope for them.

From SaaS to agentic AI

What changes for product, pricing and organisations as software shifts to autonomous agents.

Retail media, advertising platforms and data

Lessons from launching some of the world's largest retail-media platforms — what works, what does not.
