Bruce Daisley Speaking Fee: $30,000 to $50,000

Bruce Daisley is a bestselling author, workplace culture expert, and former tech executive who has become one of the UK’s most influential voices on the future of work. Raised on a council estate in Birmingham, he was the first in his family to attend university, working in fast food restaurants to fund his studies. After dozens of job rejections, he famously landed his first role by sending out a cartoon CV—a bold move that launched a career spanning some of the world’s most prominent tech companies. Daisley spent over a decade in senior leadership roles at Google and Twitter, including serving as the UK Managing Director of YouTube and later as Twitter’s Vice President for Europe, the Middle East, and Africa. Under his leadership, Twitter UK developed a reputation for having one of the most respected workplace cultures in the media and tech industry. He left Twitter in 2020 as its most senior leader outside the U.S. Since then, Daisley has focused on helping organizations build energised, connected, and high-performing cultures. His podcast, Eat Sleep Work Repeat, has topped the Apple Business charts and been downloaded over five million times. His first book, The Joy of Work, became a Sunday Times number one business bestseller and has been translated into multiple languages. His follow-up, Fortitude, was named a Financial Times Best Business Book of the Year and challenges conventional thinking about resilience. Daisley’s work has been featured in the Wall Street Journal, Harvard Business Review, The Guardian, and The Washington Post. He has been recognized as one of the UK’s top digital leaders and was named the “Fantasy Hire” most desired by CEOs and MDs in a high-profile industry survey—an accolade he won four times. Currently, he serves as an Honorary Visiting Professor at Bayes Business School and regularly teaches at London Business School. Known for blending research with real-world experience, Daisley brings warmth, insight, and humor to his talks on leadership, resilience, and workplace transformation.
