A true gold standard in the Keynote Speaker space, Bob has been making impactful change happen, one event at a time!

"I had the pleasure of working with Bob for the first time during the pandemic last year. He made an immediate positive impression on me. Bob was super-responsive to any questions and queries I had and served as the perfect middle person between me and the client that I would be speaking for. Many speaker agents often 'forget' about the speakers after the event is over but Bob was also excellent at following up both the client and myself after the event. This alone made him stand out from the crowd. I would recommend Bob warmly to anyone who wishes to make use of his services."

"Bob is the consummate professional - expert, caring and ethical. He also happens to be excellent at negotiation, planning and client management. As a busy global keynote speaker or client I wholeheartedly recommend Bob for his work ethic, attention to detail and commitment to excellence."

"If you are looking to book a speaker for your event, I wouldn't hesitate to recommend you put Bob in the driving seat. He is really easy to deal with, and utterly reliable. I have worked with Bob for over 15 years so I am talking from experience!"

"I've known and worked with Bob for many years, and at various times we've been clients of one another. He's highly experienced in the supply of speakers to corporate events, while his background in production means he really understands events and brings expert knowledge and expertise to the end client."

"Bob is a really safe pair of hands because he has a wealth of experience. If ever there is a complex or tricky negotiation to do, he is the man that can make it happen so that all parties win. Efficient, professional and fun to do business with."

“I consider you as the best speaker agent on the planet. We have had a nice smooth run with Elin and a bumpy process with Caspar where you had a patience to work all the way to the candidate the client accepted and was very happy with after the presentation.”
