Hamish Taylor
From flat beds on BA flights to the turnaround of Eurostar and Sainsbury's Bank, Hamish Taylor drives innovation in businesses, successfully leading them through times of change. As a keynote speaker, he provides business insight at all levels—from Prime Ministers and CEOs to front-line staff—inspiring audiences with his humorous stories, practical tools and infectious enthusiasm to look outside their current environment.
Hamish helped us to start to think of our customers in a different way and to look outside our own industry. I had high hopes and expectations for the session and I am delighted to say Hamish exceeded them! In particular, I valued the way Hamish was spot on the briefing, adapted his presentation to make it even more relevant to us and was fully engaged for the whole time he was with us.
