Speaking & Consulting

The conversations that need to happen.

What follows are not paper abstracts. They are the talks a booker can actually put on a program. They have been workshopped on stages from Berlin to Toronto, and calibrated for rooms that contain both engineers and the people who pay them.

· What working together looks like

Keynotes & panels. 30–60 minutes, with or without Q&A. Custom framing for the room — a corporate offsite is not a university seminar and should not be billed as one.

Workshops. Half-day to two-day formats for product, policy, and leadership teams. Useful when an organization already knows what it wants to ship and needs help thinking about what shipping it will do.

Advisory. Quarterly retainer. For teams building or governing AI systems who want a standing voice in the room that is neither the optimist nor the doomer.

Consulting projects. 4–12 weeks. Scoped to a specific question: "should we build this," "what frameworks do we owe the community we are drawing data from," "how do we write a policy that survives the next model."
