As host of multiple global summits he has personally interviewed over 750 of the world's leading creative minds, including tech CEOs, New York Times bestselling authors, and AI pioneers.
He is the author of the bestselling book SuperCreativity: Augmenting Human Creativity in the Age of Artificial Intelligence, and tailors every keynote speaking engagement to the specific challenges facing your audience — making him a natural fit for the congresses, leadership summits, and innovation forums shaping Santiago, widely regarded as South America's most stable and advanced business hub.
Check Availability for Santiago
Santiago has built a reputation as South America's most stable and advanced business hub — a skyline of glass towers in Las Condes and El Golf set against the Andes, home to a fast-growing finance, mining and technology economy, and regularly ranked the most competitive in Latin America. That combination of gravitas and mountain-backdrop spectacle makes it a compelling stage for flagship corporate events and incentive programmes. James designs keynotes that fit naturally into incentive and conference itineraries: inspiring enough to feel like a reward, substantial enough to send delegates home with ideas they can act on.
Whether you are gathering top performers at a Las Condes hotel with Andes views or hosting an executive retreat tied to a leadership summit in the financial district, James works with your programme — keeping the energy high, the content relevant, and the experience memorable for an audience that expects the very best.
"Inspiring. It has allowed us not only to understand the implications of the metaverse in our industry but also to reflect on the changes and trends that will affect our lives and relationships."Luis Eduardo Pérez Mata — President, ICM Colombia
