“Brilliant brilliant brilliant speaker! Chris delivered an inspiring and on point presentation tailored to over 7,000 Optus employees to launch our new Innovation strategy. To date, Chris’s talk attracted the highest in real time attendance and engagement as compared to any other speaker we have had on this topic. Chris shed light on how innovation can be a big breakthrough, but it can also be an everyday improvement sharing practical examples from his time at Shazam and Google. The presentation balanced both the mindset that is required to drive a cultural shift for innovation as well as the process to bring innovative ideas to life. Chris delivered a compelling talk that generated talkability across the organization with leaders revisiting the recording later with their teams to help reinforce key messages. Powerful content delivered with an engaging story!”

“Suneel Gupta is one of the highest-rated speakers we’ve ever had.  His talk was filled with great insights on the essential ingredients for successfully accomplishing your goals by winning support from others along the way.  I plan to put many of his ideas into action to become a more “backable” leader, and I know others who heard his talk plan to do the same.  But, beyond all of the practical lessons, the lasting impression our audience had was that Suneel is a genuine, caring person who understands leadership challenges.  His stories were filled with humility, empathy, and emotion, traits we rarely encounter from our keynote presenters.  If you’re looking for an excellent talk delivered with a strong sense of humanity,  I recommend Suneel Gupta.”
