It’s been my total privilege to be able to listen to Jonny, never mind share the stage with him. His insights in to how to lead innovation are both highly educating and seriously entertaining. He is quick on his feet and engages well with his audience. I’d recommend him to anyone who is willing to be challenged.

A refreshing view about traditional corporate dynamics and how they can be challenged properly. Plus a great example of creating innovative approaches to current businesses through start up engagement. After Jonny’s talk I felt inspired and strengthened for our ongoing efforts behind our transformation journey.

Jonny Combe has spoken twice at our conferences about the digitisation of auto finance, and both times he was ranked as our best speaker. He is energetic, engaging, thought provoking, and able to challenge an audience to look at what is happening with a new perspective. I have no hesitation in recommending him to you.
Edward Peck, CEO of Asset Finance International

We engaged Jonny Combe for a couple of different talks in February 2017 – one to a mid-sized group of department heads, the other to a bunch of our up and coming IT people who had won an innovation competition we ran. On both occasions Jonny was excellent. He puts a lot of energy into his presentations, his story is interesting and challenging, and he engages his audiences to make sure the room remain engrossed. Jonny was an inspiration to our young IT team.
