Speaker Bio
Twenty years spotting the future early.
Caleb helps leaders turn AI, disruption and emerging culture into practical strategy, sharper thinking and commercial opportunity.
The Short Version
AI expert, futurist, keynote speaker and award-winning author.
For two decades Caleb has worked at the forefront of startup technology, digital transformation and emerging business models, from Web 2.0 and social media to the sharing economy, SaaS and now Agentic AI. Across these cycles he has developed a sharp instinct for spotting patterns and helping leaders make sense of change before it becomes urgent.
He is the co-author, with Minter Dial, of Futureproof: How To Get Your Business Ready For The Next Disruption, published by Pearson and the Financial Times and a winner of the Best Business Book Awards. He also co-authored How To Really Use LinkedIn.
On Stage
Advising and speaking to leaders across markets, cultures and sectors.
Caleb has worked with and consulted for leading global brands including Salesforce, RBS, American Express, Canon, Barclays, McCain, Hertz and LinkedIn.
He has been a guest contributor to the BBC and HuffPost, and was invited to speak at SXSW on how to futureproof your business for the next disruption.
How He Thinks
A polymath's lens on fast moving change.
Caleb's thinking sits between AI, entrepreneurship, psychology, culture, marketing, brand and leadership. As a neurodivergent, ADHD mind, he connects ideas quickly and reframes problems in ways others may miss.
His talks explore Agentic AI, disruptive leadership, what established businesses can learn from Founder Mode, personal branding and authority, and the case study of the world's first billion dollar, two person company built by Agentic AI.
Lived Experience
Honesty earned the hard way.
Having lived through the collapse of his own business during the credit crunch, Caleb speaks with rare honesty about failure, resilience, emotional intelligence and the human capacity needed to lead through uncertainty.
He is a trained Enneagram facilitator and coach and a trained Business and Leadership Mediator, and has helped hundreds of senior leaders develop their personal branding, authority and public positioning.
Off Stage
Beyond the work.
Caleb lives by the beach in Southbourne, Dorset with his two children, works regularly with clients in London, and is a keen cyclist with a fondness for a single malt Old Fashioned.
