Why your sustainability strategy is theatre — and how to make it real
A sharper, more contrarian session for audiences ready for an honest diagnosis of performative ESG and a practical path toward substance.
Talks for boards, investors and executive teams navigating sustainability, innovation, AI and long-term value creation — combining strategic frameworks, real business cases and clear executive language.
Sessions are adapted to your audience, event format and strategic priorities. What follows is the starting point, not the constraint.
Two questions every board faces: is it real, and is it worth it?
A sharper, more contrarian session for audiences ready for an honest diagnosis of performative ESG and a practical path toward substance.
For executives who need to translate sustainability into financial language, board logic and decision-ready frameworks.
Nine further talks from the same body of work.
The Seven Principles applied to a simple question: when does impact create value rather than cost? Most organisations measure activity and stay stuck in old mental frameworks. This keynote shows what changes when they measure the outcomes that matter. First given at the CEE4Impact Day in Budapest, October 2026.
Most companies still treat sustainability as an add-on or a reporting exercise. This keynote shows what changes when ESG is integrated at a systems level, and why that shift creates compounding business value.
A practical session for leaders who want to move beyond cost-centre thinking and use ESG requirements to strengthen market position, resilience and long-term value creation.
Most companies measure what is easy, not what is strategically useful. How to build measurement systems that guide decisions rather than decorate reports.
The hard truth about where sustainability issues actually stand, what we can do about it, and where AI is genuinely an enabler rather than a claim.
How to design organisations so that sustainable behaviour becomes easier, more natural and more durable than command-and-control approaches.
For leaders ready to rethink extractive models and explore what regenerative business architecture looks like in practice under planetary constraints.
A methodology-driven talk on spotting strategic shifts before they hit the mainstream, and using pattern recognition as a source of competitive advantage.
How organisations turn sustainability and impact into new sources of innovation, resilience and long-term business value.
30–45 minute keynote, 45–60 minute keynote, fireside conversation, executive roundtable, board session or workshop. Adaptable for conferences, leadership retreats, investor events and internal executive programmes.
Board members. Investors. C-suite executives. CFOs. CSOs. Strategy leaders. Innovation leaders. HR and culture teams. Executive education cohorts.
Every session is practical, intellectually rigorous and grounded in real operating experience. Audiences leave with sharper language, better frameworks and concrete ways to connect sustainability, innovation and business performance.
Keynote at the CEE4Impact Day on the Seven Principles and how impact creates value once organisations measure the outcomes that matter, followed by a panel led by Edina Csanyi.
At the World AI Cannes Festival, Arnaud led a session on minimising the environmental impact of AI — how reducing data and model footprints drives efficiency, lowers energy consumption, and lets innovation align with environmental responsibility rather than trade against it.
A conversation on the intersection of compassion and economic systems, alongside Sandrine Dixson-Declève, Co-President of the Club of Rome, and Mel Young, founder of the Homeless World Cup — examining how a compassionate approach reshapes resource distribution, the nature of work and social safety nets.
Inviting you to be one of the keynote speakers at this year’s event was an excellent choice. The vision you have developed — along with the practical advice and thought-provoking ideas featured in your book — could truly lead to a better world, provided that European nations are able to commit to it together.
We were extremely grateful for your presence during the CEE4Impact Day, as your keynote was amazing! You are definitely part of the impact ecosystem.
