Arman Hezarkhani is the co-founder and managing partner of Tenex, where he helps Fortune 500 organizations move from AI strategy to practical enterprise deployment through technical expertise and hands-on engineering leadership.
An early partner to Anthropic and OpenAI on enterprise AI adoption, Arman previously founded the venture-backed fintech Parthean, helped Google scale its Cloud and AI platforms to millions of developers worldwide, and taught computer science as an adjunct professor at Carnegie Mellon University. His experience spans the full AI lifecycle, from engineering and product development to large-scale organizational adoption.
Arman's technical fluency and founder experience give him a distinctive vantage point on how large organizations actually deploy AI and the realities of building a company from the ground up. At Tenex, his engineering team ships production software several times faster than a typical development team, and he draws on that work to explain what breaks when companies try to move from pilot to production, and what it takes for engineering teams to build with AI at real speed.
Audiences leave his sessions with a clearer view of where AI can move the needle in their own business, a keener eye for evaluating AI opportunities, and a framework for creating teams that can deliver AI solutions with greater speed and confidence.
Book Arman Hezarkhani for a technical, credible perspective on enterprise AI adoption and the future of engineering.

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.
