I'm Dado. Keynote speaker and author on AI, robotics and what happens to organisations when intelligence becomes infrastructure. Technology moves business. Soul moves people.
A lifelong obsession with technology that I turned into my work.
I studied Computer Sciences at the University of Ghent and have spent over 15 years helping organisations define their digital innovation vision and strategy. I've been involved in multiple international companies, startups and advisory boards, and have been named one of Belgium's top 30 thought leaders in technology.
I'm a published author of five business books on the rise of technology, a guest professor in business schools, and a public speaker on the topic of AI. As a proud father of three Gen Alpha kids, I keep a finger on the pulse of everything shaping the future of work and play.
Three talks, one thread: the technology is moving faster than the org chart. Each one is rebuilt for your industry, your audience and your moment.
Technology moves business.
Soul moves people. 💓

How can we harness AI's 100x power without losing our human touch? What truly sets us apart from machines, and how do we build organisations that SCALE without losing SOUL?
