James Taylor MBA · FRSA is an internationally recognised keynote speaker on creativity, innovation, and artificial intelligence — not to be confused with the American singer-songwriter. Over 20+ years he has delivered 3,000+ keynotes across 50+ countries for Fortune 500 brands including Apple, Cisco, Deloitte, Accenture, Visa and McDonald's, and has been the subject of a 30-minute BBC documentary.
James began his career managing high-profile rock stars and now advises CEOs, entrepreneurs, governments and leaders — from Silicon Valley to the Gulf and increasingly across the Eastern Mediterranean — on how to design innovative organisations, unlock creative potential, and adapt to change. 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 EU policy forums, financial-services summits, and digital-transformation conferences that increasingly choose Nicosia, Cyprus's capital and its Eastern Mediterranean business hub, as their stage.
Check Availability for Nicosia
Nicosia has grown into one of the Eastern Mediterranean's most credible destinations for EU conferences, financial-services summits, and corporate incentive events — a compact, walkable capital with year-round sunshine, direct flights across Europe and the Middle East, and a business community that spans international banking, shipping, and a fast-growing digital-transformation sector. James designs keynotes that fit naturally into that agenda: inspiring enough to feel like a reward, substantial enough to send delegates home with ideas they can act on.
Whether you are gathering leadership teams at a five-star hotel in the city centre or hosting a conference tied to Cyprus's growing calendar of EU and digital-policy summits, James works with your programme — keeping the energy high, the content relevant, and the experience memorable for an audience that expects the very best.
"Thank you James for bringing us a unique session on boosting our creativity in the age of artificial intelligence at our annual event. Participants and customers provided us with many delighted comments."Carine Vaeremans — CEO, Profacts (Belgium)
