Terence Mauri's biography

At a glance

  • Global expert on future-ready leadership, AI, and disruption
  • Founder of Hack Future Lab and Future Insights
  • MIT Entrepreneur Mentor in Residence and IE Business School professor

Terence Mauri is one of the world’s leading thinkers and keynote speakers on future-ready leadership, disruption, and change, helping organizations stay relevant and resilient as uncertainty becomes the new normal.


He is the founder of Hack Future Lab and the Future Insights think tank, and a three-time bestselling author whose work focuses on how leaders can sharpen their future readiness in times of rapid disruption. Terence has been named by Thinkers50 as an influential and outspoken voice on the future of leadership and serves as Entrepreneur Mentor in Residence at MIT as well as a visiting professor at IE Business School.


Global organizations including Google, HSBC, Pfizer, and Assurant partner with Terence as a trusted advisor on leadership in the Intelligence Age. His ideas have been shared on some of the world’s most respected stages, including the Oslo Business Forum in 2025 alongside Simon Sinek and Scott Galloway. His latest book, The Upside of Disruption, was praised by Chris Barton, Shazam founder, for "breakthrough thinking to unlock huge potential."


Alongside his academic and advisory work, Terence brings firsthand experience from building and scaling $100m+ businesses as a former director at one of the world’s largest advertising agencies, advising companies such as Apple, Microsoft, and Google through periods of rapid change. His work blends insight on megatrends, leadership psychology, and real-world case studies to help organizations turn disruption into a tailwind for focus, courage, and value creation. He enables leaders and teams to move faster, think bigger, and adapt with confidence.


Terence’s audiences gain practical ways to think, decide, and lead when disruption is high, from building strategic courage to spotting the opportunities hidden inside uncertainty. His leadership keynotes have been described by Unilever as the equivalent of a double espresso for leaders and by Nike as the most wisdom per keynote, reflecting the pace, clarity, and relevance he brings to every room.

Does PepTalk charge a booking fee?

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.

What happens after I send a brief?

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.

What does the typical fee range mean?

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.

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

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.

How far in advance should I book a speaker?

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.
