As founder of the People Analytics & Future of Work (PAFOW) community, Al has consistently championed ethical data use to benefit individuals and teams worldwide. His frameworks, including the Talent Assessment & Development (TAD) and Personal Assessment & Development (PAD), outline essential dimensions of talent development, supporting organisations in aligning workforce growth with strategic goals. These models address a core question he explores: how well-prepared are we for a future defined by AI and continuous change?
Al’s career path began in the 1980s as a university internship coordinator, where he discovered his passion for helping others unlock their potential. Over the years, he has held hands-on roles with firms like Ernst & Young, Gap Inc., and IBM’s Kenexa, as well as advising companies like Apple, Cisco, and Whole Foods.
Al is a speaker who delivers insights tailored to each audience, whether C-suite leaders, middle managers, or individual contributors, promoting a mindful, confidence-building approach to the challenges of the future. He believes that AI and analytics should serve people, not overshadow them, and works to make these tools more transparent and actionable. By co-creating solutions and staying attuned to change with a “beginner’s mindset,” Al remains a vital voice in discussions on work, technology, and the human experience in modern organisations.

Not necessarily. While the speakers listed on our website may not have worked with PepTalk in the past, they are recognized professionals in the industry and known to engage in similar events and engagements. We work with a wide variety of speaker agents and talent agencies to ensure we have the best selection of speakers, hosts, comedians and entertainers available.

Our goal is to help you find the speaker who best matches your event’s goals and budget. We take the time to understand your event, objectives, and audience to recommend the right fit.
