Joshua, Harvard Business Review
Thank you for your remarkable presentation and for playing such a significant role on our events in TLV earlier this month. We knew from the start that with you it should be a hit, and we were right: our guests had nothing but amazing things to say about you, everyone asked to get your presentation, and without a doubt your insightful session was valuable to the success of the event.
Yael, Google

Nathalie’s session was the highest rated session of the entire event. Her topics fit our business needs really well. There are tonnes of people who can talk about shopping behaviour or brand loyalty but I hadn’t seen any that came from the psychological perspective and whose talk track fit nearly as well into our conference themes.
Deborah Sisson, MovableInk
A supremely charismatic and knowledgeable speaker, she’s exactly what we were looking for in a keynote speaker and she exceeded our extremely high expectations.
Kelvin Newman, Brighton SEO
We wanted to feature a speaker that will give us a different perspective of AI, not just the doomsday scenario that AI will take over. Nathalie’s emphasis on trust, authenticity, and AI-generated content really resonated, especially in today’s evolving landscape.
