What leaders say after the applause.
98% would recommend · 582+ verified audience responses
Alex holds a 98% would-recommend rating from audiences, measured by Talkadot across 582+ verified responses, with 91% calling the content actionable. Organizations that have booked him include Google, SHRM, and IEEE, alongside universities and associations. Every session is customized to the audience's industry and AI maturity.
Fees run five figures depending on format — virtual sessions often under $10,000. Format, travel, audience size, and how much of the talk is built new all factor in. You'll get an exact quote for your date within one business day.
Vetting usually runs three to four weeks. Start with two full recordings from the past six months, since AI material ages fast. Then ask for independently verified audience data, and put the speaker on a call with your executive sponsor before contracting. Alex's process runs a scoping call, then a pre-event survey and interviews that shape the content.
Keynotes run 45 to 75 minutes with optional Q&A; workshops and sprints run 90 to 120 minutes; lunch and learns run 60 minutes; advisory runs over multiple months. Delivery works in person, virtually, or hybrid, from a 50-person leadership offsite to a 10,000+ seat main stage.
