Andrew Likierman's biography

At a glance

  • Professor of Management Practice at London Business School
  • Award-winning leader in public finance and corporate governance reform
  • Former London Business School Dean and Bank of England Director
Sir Andrew Likierman is Professor of Management Practice at London Business School and served as its Dean from 2009 to 2017. His work focuses on how leaders develop, assess, and apply judgement in complex decision-making. Andrew has held a range of senior roles including Director of the Bank of England, non-executive Director of Barclays Bank plc, and national independent non-executive director of Times Newspapers Holdings Ltd. He led the UK Government Finance Service, served on the Cadbury Committee on corporate governance, and was President of the Chartered Institute of Management Accountants. His book, Judgement at Work: Making Better Choices, was published in 2025, building on a body of research that includes his widely cited Harvard Business Review article on the elements of good judgement. Andrew’s experience spans public finance, corporate governance, and organisational performance across the public, private, and not-for-profit sectors. He has advised House of Commons Select Committees, chaired the National Audit Office, and contributed to international reviews of United Nations governance. This breadth enables him to connect theory with practice, translating complex judgement challenges into practical frameworks leaders can use in real-world contexts. His six-part model helps organisations identify judgement gaps, strengthen leadership decisions, and shape cultures that support sound decision-making. Audiences gain a clearer understanding of how to recognise good judgement in themselves and others, balance intuition with evidence, and make high-quality decisions under pressure. Andrew shares practical approaches for evaluating risk, building trust, and avoiding the judgement failures that most commonly undermine organisational performance. Book Andrew to help your organisation develop stronger judgement, better leadership decisions, and long-term resilience.

Testimonials

Thank you for following up with me, the session went really great. Participants rated the session with a 4.8 out of 5 (130 responses) and they highly appreciated the Q&A section. I think 1h15 min would have been even better as in we didn’t have enough time to answer all questions.

Can PepTalk help plan the speaker programme for my event?

Yes. Beyond booking a single speaker, PepTalk helps shape a full programme, matching voices to your agenda, audience, and goals across a day or a series. It is a consultative service, not just a booking. Tell us about your event at getapeptalk.com.

What does 'typical fee range' mean?

Speaker fees vary based on factors like event location, format, and availability. The 'typical fee range' figure gives you a baseline of someone's local, in-person rate sits, and we'll confirm the exact fee when you get in touch.

What logistics should I prepare before my speakers arrive?

Before your speakers arrive, confirm AV is tested, a green room is ready, and printed schedules are on hand. Prepare warm introductions for each speaker and brief your team on timings. PepTalk speakers come fully briefed, making event-day logistics smoother and stress-free from the start.

What's the difference between a keynote speaker, an MC, and event entertainment?

A keynote speaker delivers an inspiring or informative talk. An MC hosts and guides the event, keeping things on track. Entertainment — like a band or comedian — creates atmosphere and fun. Each serves a different purpose, and PepTalk can help you book the right talent for all three.

What happens if I need to cancel or reschedule a speaker booking?

Life happens! Most speaker bookings can be rescheduled with reasonable notice. Cancellation terms vary by speaker, but PepTalk handles all the details & contracts transparently upfront so there are no surprises. Our team supports you through any changes, making the process as smooth as possible.

Have all the speakers on the website previously worked with PepTalk?

Not necessarily. While the speakers listed on our website may not have worked with PepTalk in the past, they are recognized professionals in the industry and known to engage in similar events and engagements. Alongside direct talent, we work with a wide variety of speaker agents and talent agencies, to ensure we have the best selection of speakers, hosts, comedians and entertainers available.

What information do I need to provide when booking a comedian?

When booking a comedian, share your event format, audience size and demographics, any sensitive topics to avoid, and the tone you're after. PepTalk makes this easy — their booking process guides you through a simple checklist so nothing gets missed and your comedian is perfectly matched to your crowd.

What information do I need to provide when booking a speaker?

When booking a speaker, you'll need your event date, audience details, format, key objectives, and budget. Having these ready makes the process smooth and straightforward. PepTalk's team uses this information to match you with the perfect speaker quickly and efficiently.

Can I book entertainment and speakers as a package?

Yes! At PepTalk, you can absolutely bundle entertainment and speakers into one seamless package. It's a great way to create a fuller event experience while enjoying simplified booking and better value. Our team handles everything together, making the process effortless for you.

Can I request autographs, personal greetings, signed merchandise, or fan mail from the speakers?

Sorry, we do not accept requests for autographs, signed merchandise, fan mail, or any non-commercial contact with the speakers, comedians or entertainers.

How can I report an issue or make changes to an expert profile?

If you notice something that needs attention or have any queries regarding an expert speaker profile, please email us at experts@getapeptalk.com, and we’ll be happy to assist.

How far in advance should I book a motivational speaker?

Book a motivational speaker at least 3–6 months in advance, especially for popular speakers or large events. Top speakers get booked quickly, so earlier is always better. For major conferences or peak seasons, booking 12 months ahead ensures you secure your first choice.

Help, I need a last-minute speaker for my event!

No problem! We often handle last-minute requests and can secure or replace a speaker, comedian, awards or event host quickly — almost anywhere in the world. However, speaker availability might be limited as the event date approaches. Email hello@getapeptalk.com with your requirements.
