I speak to clarify reality in environments where decisions, power, and perception intersect.
My interventions are built in real time, shaped by the audience, the context, and the moment - not scripted by a speaker bureau.
Where I speak
I intervene in:
- high-level international forums,
- closed-door executive or industry events,
- sector-specific conferences (energy, AI, mining, critical infrastructure..),
- academic or educational settings when depth and rigor are expected,
- private or business gatherings facing complex strategic questions.
What I bring to the room
When I speak, I deliver structure.
Typical themes include:
- intelligence and HUMINT applied to leadership and decision-making,
- power dynamics and influence beyond official narratives,
- perception, narrative control, and strategic communication,
- media mechanics, disinformation, and cognitive warfare,
- operating across cultures, systems, and unstable environments.
Participants leave with:
- clearer mental models,
- sharper perception,
- and a more accurate reading of the environment they operate in.
Format
- Keynotes
- Fireside conversations
- Closed-door briefings
- Panels (when the format allows real depth)
- Interviews (rare, but possible when aligned)
No speaker bureau.
No standardized format.
No mass scheduling.
Each intervention is tailored to the people, stakes, and context.
Education
Education matters deeply to me.
I value speaking with students and young professionals when the goal is not motivation, but critical thinking, discernment, and intellectual rigor.
Engaging the next generation is not branding.
It is responsibility.
Access
I decline most podcast invitations and public appearances. If you are organizing an event where:
- substance matters more than exposure,
- dialogue is valued over performance,
- and ideas are expected to withstand scrutiny,
you can reach out directly at info[at]ocstrategic.com
No intermediaries needed.
