Dave McKeown

Dave McKeown helps leaders navigate the chaos of fast growth while staying boldly, stubbornly, and irreplaceably human in an AI-driven world.

For over a decade, McKeown has worked with leadership teams at Apple, Google, FedEx, Salesforce, the British Government, and more, equipping them with the strategies, mindset, and tools to lead smarter, faster, and more effectively.

Now, as AI reshapes leadership at every level, McKeown is at the forefront of helping executives and teams harness the power of AI without losing the human advantage.

His newest keynote, STAY HUMAN: Leading with Wisdom in an Age of Artificial Everything, is a wake-up call for leaders who refuse to let leadership become just another algorithm.

McKeown is the author of "The Self-Evolved Leader" and a sought-after keynote speaker, leadership trainer, and growth advisor. His insights have been featured at the Inc. 5000 and Growco conferences and by organizations including Bank of America, Spectrum Health, and Bamboo HR.

He has been described as “the perfect mix between Simon Sinek and Gary Vaynerchuk” -- bringing inspiration, energy, and practical tools to every keynote. His work has been endorsed by some of the world’s foremost leadership experts, including Marshall Goldsmith, Michael Bungay Stanier, and Nancy Duarte.

McKeown’s mission is simple: To help leaders think beyond the algorithm and lead with boldness, clarity, and human instinct.
