John Amaechi Biography

Professor John Amaechi OBE is a respected organisational psychologist, and the Leadership Transformation Expert at APS Intelligence LTD, the consultancy he founded in 2008. At APS Intelligence, Amaechi and his team of specialists help create effective leaders and authentic and ethical cultures. This is what Amaechi believes leads to sustainable organisational growth and high performance while ensuring the dignity and well-being of all colleagues.

Recognized as an influential thinker in HR, Amaechi is a Professor of Leadership at the University of Exeter Business School in the United Kingdom and a Fellow of the Institute of Science and Technology. He's the author of the New York Times and the Sunday Times bestselling leadership book, "The Promises of Giants," Amaechi draws on his early life in Stockport, near Manchester (UK), his career as the first Briton to play professional basketball in the NBA and deep psychological insights, to challenge and inspire others. In doing so, he continues to be driven by the words his mother once used to inspire him when she said that: "The most unlikely of people in the most improbable of circumstances can become extraordinary."

Amaechi is a mentor, a teacher, and always using his deep psychological insight combined with real-life experience to provide a touchstone for people and companies who want to thrive, achieve, and align their beliefs, values and ethics.

So, while you’re questioning everything you thought you knew, Amaechi will entertain you with his storytelling, confront you with uncomfortable truths, make you laugh and move you to tears (sometimes in the same minute) and ultimately inspire you to grow and develop in ways you couldn’t possibly imagine...so that you can be a Giant too.
