Andy Ayim MBE is a gifted speaker and facilitator whose work sits at the intersection of human performance and leadership culture, with compelling storytelling. He works with senior executives to build high-performing teams with human-centred leadership as artificial intelligence reshapes how organisations operate and compete.
Andy has spent over 15 years in management consulting, product leadership, venture capital, and angel investing. He was awarded an MBE for his services to the tech sector and brings insight from leading and investing through multiple cycles of disruption. Today Andy partners with global brands like Google, Tesco, Uber, Novartis, and Oxford Saïd Business School to help their leaders create environments where teams thrive.
Andy supports VP and C-suite executives to close the gap between being the leader they believe they should be and the leader their teams actually need. His approach addresses inclusive leadership, high-performance team culture, and the human side of AI adoption, not as separate initiatives but as interconnected challenges that determine whether organisations execute under pressure. He guides executives through the trust-building work that sits beneath strategy documents, helping them move from aspiration to implementation. Andy's methods draw on real operational experience, rather than theory, giving leaders frameworks they can apply immediately after working with him.
Audiences leave Andy's sessions with specific conversations they're ready to initiate, tools to challenge their own assumptions, and clarity on the leadership behaviours their teams need right now. His interactive approach creates the conditions needed for real recognition and change.
Book Andy when you need a speaker who equips your leaders with practical next steps for navigating AI-driven change.

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. Shorter timelines are workable, and PepTalk regularly fills last-minute and replacement bookings within days. Availability is the constraint, so get in touch as soon as you have a date.
