SPEAKING ENGAGEMENTS
TECHNOLOGY EXISTS TO DELIVER HUMAN OUTCOMES
PRAGMATIST,
NOT AN EVANGELIST
The tech industry over-hypes and over-simplifies everything.
Charles cuts through the noise, helping leaders separate fact from fiction and turn complexity into clear, actionable insights.
HUMAN-CENTRIC APPROACH TO TECHNOLOGY
Most emerging tech solutions fail because companies treat technology as an end in itself.
Charles shifts the focus back to what matters: how technology transforms the way we work, live, and play.
STORIES THAT
EDUCATE & RESONATE
Tech buzzwords get thrown around too freely, leaving people lost in jargon.
Charles levels the playing field, ensuring every audience understands not just the latest terms, but how to turn them into real opportunities.
