Alpesh Doshi
Alpesh Doshi helps organisations move from AI experimentation to measurable outcomes. A leading AI keynote speaker and enterprise transformation expert, Alpesh works with boards, C-suites, and private equity firms, delivering practical AI strategy, governance frameworks and digital transformation programmes built on 25 years of hands-on experience across financial services, insurance, and retail.
Alpesh Doshi is an AI practitioner, enterprise architect, and entrepreneur with 25 years at the intersection of technology, business transformation, and leadership.
As Founder and CEO of Fintricity and Kendra Labs, Alpesh designs and builds agentic AI systems, writing the code himself before helping boards, C-suites, and teams put those systems to work responsibly and at scale. His hands-on work spans financial services, insurance, and retail, including his transformation of 700 engineers at a FTSE 250 company, where he re-skilled teams and cleared a two-year backlog through AI-first redesign.
Alpesh speaks with equal fluency to CTOs and architects in deeply technical sessions as he does to boards and senior leaders who need plain-language clarity on AI's practical implications. He addresses the questions senior leaders are often reluctant to raise on runaway AI costs, governance, compliance, and moving from experimentation to measurable outcomes. Beyond the technology, Alpesh focuses on the human side of AI, addressing fear about job loss and role change, and showing leaders how to retrain and re-skill people to work differently.
Audiences leave with a working mental model of AI that non-technical leaders can apply immediately, a realistic playbook for managing cultural change, and a clear framework for governing AI spend and compliance before either becomes a crisis.
For boards and leadership teams that need a speaker who builds the systems he talks about and understands the human and organisational change that follows, Alpesh's insights are hard to match.
Topics, sessions and talks
Boards and senior leaders are under pressure to make confident AI decisions without always having the technical grounding to do so. Alpesh Doshi cuts through the noise for non-technical executives, offering a clear mental model of how AI actually works, how to set priorities, and how to lead with conviction when the technology is moving faster than the strategy. Audiences leave with a practical framework: not a crash course in code, but the clarity to make better decisions at the top.
AI transformation stalls not because of technology, but because of people, and Alpesh Doshi speaks from experience. Drawing directly on his work re-skilling 700 engineers at a FTSE 250 company and clearing a two-year backlog, he addresses job-change anxiety and resistance head-on. Leaders learn why culture is the real barrier to adoption, what a practical re-skilling and role transformation playbook looks like, and how to bring their workforce with them rather than losing them to fear.
Most AI strategies look impressive on slides and underdeliver in practice. Alpesh Doshi offers a practitioner's view of what transformation actually requires, across financial services, insurance, and retail, from redesigning operating models to delivering measurable outcomes at pace. With real case studies of organisations building 20 times faster using AI, Alpesh shows what AI-first genuinely means and what it takes to move from ambition to working systems without losing grip on risk or resilience.
Runaway AI costs, unchecked spending on cloud compute, and compliance obligations that most boards have not yet fully mapped — these are the questions senior leaders are reluctant to raise and too rarely get answered. Alpesh Doshi tackles all three directly, drawing on his active work designing and running agentic AI systems. Audiences gain a working understanding of why AI costs spiral, how a FinOps approach applies to agentic systems, and the governance and compliance foundations every organisation now needs.
Agentic AI — autonomous digital workers that operate across systems and processes — is moving from concept to live deployment faster than most organisations are ready for. Alpesh Doshi, who designs and builds these systems himself, explains what the shift to agentic AI means for operating models, roles, and how work gets done. Scaling from strategic overview to technical depth depending on the audience, the session gives leaders a clear picture of what to prepare for and where to act now.

Alpesh Doshi structures his sessions around practitioner-led case studies drawn from his own implementation work, including the re-skilling of 700 engineers at a FTSE 250 company and projects where organisations achieved 20-times faster build rates using AI. He pairs these with a transferable framework — covering decision-making clarity, cultural change, and governance — that non-technical leaders can apply directly to their own organisations.

No. PepTalk adds no booking fee, so you pay the speaker's fee and nothing beyond it. The service, from shortlist through to contracts and event-day logistics, is included. For repeat or multi-event bookings, PepTalk can agree preferential rates with your procurement team.
Share your event date, audience, format, objectives and budget, and PepTalk sends a hand-picked shortlist within 24 hours. Each suggestion comes with a profile, a fee and a recommendation on the strongest fit. Once you choose, PepTalk handles contracts, travel and logistics through to event day.
The typical fee range is the speaker's standard in-person fee in their home market, shown in their local currency. It moves with format, location, date and session length: virtual sessions and shorter slots usually cost less, while international travel and peak dates cost more. Send your brief to PepTalk and the team will confirm the exact fee in your currency.
Not all of them, and it makes no difference to your booking. PepTalk's network of 15,000+ speakers covers talent the team works with directly alongside speakers represented by agents and agencies worldwide. PepTalk approaches the speaker, negotiates the fee and handles contracting either way.
Three to six months ahead is comfortable for most events, and 12 months is better for large conferences, peak-season dates or one specific in-demand speaker.
