Building tomorrow’s business, today.
Gavin runs his own business on a team of AI agents, after 20 years putting technology to work inside companies like Mars and Motorola. The keynotes and workshops come straight out of that, which is why the advice still holds up once everyone's back at their desk.
Most leaders know AI matters.Few know where to start.
Between the day to day, a new tool every week and advice that contradicts itself, working out where AI fits keeps sliding down the list. Nobody has the time to go and become the expert on it, and the longer it sits on your list, the further behind the whole thing feels. So it waits another quarter. That's the room Gavin gets booked for.
- No time to learn
- You're busy running a business, and reading up on prompts, agents and data models sits at the bottom of a long list.
- Not technical
- You're skilled at your craft, and AI feels like it needs an engineering degree before it does anything useful.
- Buried in noise
- So many tools, opinions and trends that knowing what matters becomes the hard part.
Stop waitinganother quarter.
Every session below is built the way Gavin builds his own business: work out what actually matters first, then hand people something they can act on before the week’s out. Four formats, pick the one that fits your event.
Choose a format
“Our audience has heard the AI talk before. This one has to be useful.”
The quotes are illustrations of what organisers ask for. Select any of the three to read it.
01 / Who is in the room
A full conference floor
500 or more people from a mix of businesses, most of them with no technical background. What they have in common is a sense that AI matters and no clear idea where their own business starts.
02 / What happens
45 minutes on stage
One of the three keynotes, shaped on a pre-event call to the audience and the business context in the room. 45 minutes, plus optional Q&A where the questions from the floor get straight answers.
03 / What they leave with
A place to start
A clear picture of how AI is reshaping business, and a different way to think about where it creates value. P.R.I.M.E. gives them the order to work in, from the process through to the people.
Gavin Reddrop20+Years
Leading technology inside business,and none of it from a slide deck.
Gavin's first seven years were in the Air Force, as a communications and information systems controller on computerised weapons systems. Nothing there ran on enthusiasm. It's where he learned to work out what actually matters before touching anything.
Then came 20 years running technology inside business, including digital transformation work at Mars and Motorola, followed by startups he built and scaled from nothing. Budgets, boards and deadlines attached to all of it, which is why his keynotes come with an order of work rather than a list of tools.
Now he runs his own business on a team of AI agents, and works with leaders across Australia who want the plan as well as the inspiration. A keynote changes how a room thinks about what's possible, and a workshop sends them home with their first agent scoped and its job written down.

P.R.I.M.E.
Gavin’s model for putting AI into a business, and the backbone of every keynote and workshop. Five steps, from the process to the people.
Choose a stepHis session was highly engaging, super professional and well received by the audience. I'd definitely work with Gavin again, as he clearly knows his stuff!
Worked with Gavin at one of ManageEngine's cybersecurity shows, great presenter, good content. Will recommend!
He has exceptional communication skills which are backed by great technical ability and extraordinary business acumen.
I have found Gavin's technical skills second to none. I have been more impressed with his ability and drive to go above and beyond.
Gavin’s insights.
All insightsWhat topics does Gavin cover in his AI keynotes?
Three topics: practical AI implementation, the workforce of tomorrow with people and agents working together, and cybersecurity in an AI driven world. None of them assume a technical background. Every session is built around a framework the room can use the following week, mostly P.R.I.M.E.™.
What size events does Gavin speak at?
Leadership retreats of 20 to 50 through to conferences of 500 or more. The content is shaped to the audience and the business context either way.
How far in advance should I book?
Two to three months gives the best availability. Shorter notice often works depending on the schedule. Peak conference season books earlier.
What makes Gavin different from other AI keynote speakers?
Gavin is a technical leader who has been building systems for over 20 years: computerised weapons systems in the Air Force, digital transformation inside Mars and Motorola, startups built from scratch, and now a business that runs on its own AI agents. When someone in the room asks how exactly, he can walk them through it.
Does Gavin run workshops as well as keynotes?
Yes. The Agent Building workshop is a hands-on half or full day where a team scopes its first AI agent, writes down the job it will do and applies the readiness test before anything is built.
Can I add a workshop to a keynote booking?
Yes. The keynote and the workshop are booked separately or together, so a conference session can be followed by a half or full day scoping the team's first agent.
Does Gavin tailor his talks to a specific industry?
Yes. Every booking starts with a pre-event call, and the session is shaped to the audience and business context rather than delivered as a stock deck.
Can Gavin present virtually?
Yes. Keynotes and workshops both run virtually as well as in person, for events that need a remote or hybrid speaker.
What are the technical requirements for the session?
Nothing unusual. Gavin brings his own laptop and clicker, so a screen, an HDMI connection and a lapel or headset mic cover most rooms. A full AV and technical rider goes to the organiser once a booking is confirmed.
Give your audience somewhere to start.
Gavin’s spent 20 years making technology work inside businesses like Mars and Motorola, and now runs his own on a team of AI agents. So when someone asks how, exactly, they get an answer from a person who’s actually done it.
