Most AI keynotes fall into two traps: hype that excites an audience but leaves it confused, or technical depth that loses everyone who is not an engineer. I do neither. My talks give business audiences clear frameworks for thinking about AI strategically, grounded in 25 years of building innovation programs at Amazon, Motorola, and startups.
I am Amir Elion, based in Stockholm and former Digital Innovation lead for AWS across the Nordics. If your conference, leadership offsite, or company event needs a speaker who has actually done the work, this is what I bring.
Signature keynotes
Business value with AI
A three-tier framework for where AI creates value: boosting productivity, building new value through AI-enhanced products, and preparing for disruption. Audiences leave with a mental model for where AI fits in their business.
AI agents for executives
What agents actually are, where they create value, and how leaders should govern them. A clear, strategic view of the shift, without the technical noise. Pairs with a hands-on executive workshop for teams that want to go further.
Innovate like Amazon
The Working Backwards methodology, hands-on rather than a lecture about Amazon. Audiences learn to start from the customer and work backward, using the PRFAQ process and customer-obsessed thinking.
AI-powered products, built live
From a customer problem to a working prototype in hours using AI and no-code tools. A live demonstration that changes how audiences think about what is now possible.
