Tomorrow
Better Than Today.
Business Creativity Keynotes & Workshops that build Execution Intelligence™, so your people act faster, adapt sooner, and perform beyond business as usual.
A trusted advisor to:
the gap between Bold ambition and great results is never a lack of ideas. it’s Execution.
Building a tomorrow better than today has never been more complex. Leaders know what needs to be done. Teams know what matters. But somewhere between planning and performance, momentum breaks down.
That’s because execution is emotional before it’s operational.
People hesitate when they’re uncertain, overloaded, or afraid to fail. So they stay in motion, but don’t progress.
Most organisations respond with more meetings, new structures, or another motivational talk. None of that fixes the root cause.
What works is building Execution Intelligence™ – the mindset, focus and environment that turns bold ideas into consistent results.
Organisations don’t need more ideas. They need the ability to turn ideas into impact. They need clarity, alignment, and the courage to act when it counts the most.
That’s where I come in…
G’day! I’m AJ.
I’m a Business Strategist and Global Keynote Speaker on Business Creativity who partners with Senior Leaders in large, complex organisations to close the gap between strategy and execution.
The leaders I work with often struggle to get organisation- wide traction on ideas, and are often under pressure to:
-
Navigate constant disruption (market shifts, tech changes, competition).
-
Deliver growth despite shrinking budgets and stretched teams.
-
Inspire people to think differently and move faster, without losing focus.
-
Prove that innovation delivers real business outcomes, beyond buzzwords.
A Trusted Global Partner
For over 20 years, I’ve partnered with Senior Leaders across seven countries, from high-growth SMEs to global enterprises, helping them execute ideas faster and lead transformation with clarity and confidence.
What makes me different is my perspective:
- A former Technologist turned Professional Speaker
- Born and raised in Australia with Sri Lankan parents
This gives me an East-meets-West perspective that blends business, people, and technology insights to bridge the gap between strategy and execution across all cultures.
Recognised as Young Achiever of the Year in 2008, I’ve built a career turning complex challenges into practical, actionable strategies that drive measurable results.
Accordingly, I created the Get It Done™ methodology – a proven, practical framework that equips modern leaders to do business at the speed of opportunity.
