Nancy Rademaker | Keynote Speaker

Why Book Nancy

If you need an insightful keynote speaker who can energise a room and still deliver very practical things people can use on Monday, Nancy fits. She shows how customer centricity, artificial intelligence, machine learning and deep learning reshape markets, and how business model change follows when companies acquire deeper customer knowledge. Audiences leave with a new mental model for an uncertain future, plus instantly usable takeaway ideas for better business communication, employee experience and personalised customer experiences.

Background And Credentials

Nancy brings more than two decades in tech, including five years at Microsoft in the Netherlands and across Europe, followed by senior roles advising boards and taking business leaders to global innovation hubs. As one of the few female international keynote speakers in her field, she focuses on how technological factors and exponentially evolving technology have largely affected human behaviour, not only businesses. Today she is a partner at nexxworks, where Nancy played a central role in designing learning expeditions for world inspire tours that put executives inside the labs, start ups and corporates building tomorrow.
