2026 Keynote Speaker
Sir Richard Moore
Former Chief of MI6, Sir Richard Moore will share what it takes to make decisions when the stakes are high and the situation keeps changing. Drawing on his experience leading the UK’s intelligence service, he’ll talk about how leaders assess risk, deal with uncertainty and make calls without having all the information — and what that means for organisations today.
