A deep generalist, provocative strategist, and accomplished business advisor, Jacob’s global perspective and deep insights have given the competitive edge to thousands of businesses.
For almost 20 years, Jacob has travelled Asia-Pacific, Europe, and North America as an international business advisor and keynote speaker. Working with more than 350 companies globally, his specialty is working directly with business owners who find themselves stuck. They need someone who understands all aspects of business at enough depth to practically turn their dreams into reality.
Jacob’s tangential thinking and embrace of the ‘slightly’ absurd helps shift the way we look at how business should and can be done if we challenge outdated assumptions, embrace the new, and create paradigm shifts on the pathway to success.
“Jacob is the consummate professional – one you can trust to engage, delight and empower your audience.”

“My mission as a speaker is to rise about ‘the doorway effect’, making sure the value I share is remembered and implemented long after an attendee has walked out the conference doors and back to their real world.”
Working with professional services firms across the world, I’ve been fascinated with just why some firms thrive, and others simply exist. Beyond the balance sheet and profit and loss statements, I’ve looked to best practice and its adoption to understand why the ‘lucky few‘ created thriving, sustainable companies.
Embracing the Feminine is the result of that exploration. In realising ‘Best Practice’ is, often, anything but, I unpack the fundamental differences in the masculine and feminine approach to business. I’ll explain why embracing the feminine is essential to a robust business.
A powerful keynote with fresh perspectives that eliminate the divisiveness created in traditional approaches to gender equality and intersectionality, I’ll give your audience the tools and the strategies to create a different future – starting now.
“I love the concept of being a deep generalist. His stories, theories and concepts kept me riveted for his whole speech.”
“Very thought-provoking. I came into this talk virtually disagreeing entirely with the concept. I’ve come out with much thinking to do and a possible conversion! Thank you Jacob.”
“Self-reflective deep generalist approach addressed extremely well and engaging. Excellently delivered and insightful!.”
“Engaging and passionate presenter who shared real-life experience with both good and bad to illustrate his key points – both entertaining and rewarding. Loved his point that you don’t have to be a genius to be a deep generalist.”
