Nik is not just an incredible presenter. He grabs the audience’s attention and doesn’t let go. So many of our partners told us they had never examined the future of their business in such a thought provoking way – to expose our partners to something new is the highest value we can provide to our partners. Nik brought that value.

Emilie P.

Nik had that right balance of setting up the way we think about the future. He brought a provocative point of view on how AI and the new large compute areas (spatial etc.) that left the room starting to shift the way they approach future product framing. I highly recommend Nik!

Nik came in and wowed us. Not only did he tailor his presentation to our industry he also made it very specific to our function within the industry! He surprised many of us with his foresight and predictions and gave our audience information on subjects they didn’t even realize they should be considering. The group he presented is in the business of making predictions, so for him to surprise us was inspiring.
