I am frequently asked to speak at both public and private forums, providing unusual insights and perspectives to people in the security industry, to academic conferences, and to government organizations. These days, I am often asked to discuss the nature of entrepreneurship and the keys to promoting innovation as well as to comment on issues affecting Japan and Asia. See the list below for all of my major speaking engagements to date.
Although my schedule seems to get busier by the month, I genuinely enjoy meeting new people and am always happy to speak at new events. If you are interested in having me speak at an event, please feel free to contact me by email.
