Andy Readman is an international keynote speaker who believes the opportunity doesn't come from the technology, it's about the friction and the people navigating it.

As Director of Data & AI at Pax8, Andy works alongside an Academy of recognised specialists in their field supporting the IT channel community. At the intersection of AI strategy, channel enablement, and human potential. He helps IT businesses move from tool adoption to genuine competitive advantage, but his talks go further than most. Whether he's demystifying AI for a room full of sceptics or unpacking what real leadership looks like under pressure, Andy brings the same thing: clarity, honesty, and stories that land.

With nearly two decades in the industry; spanning solutions architecture, data platforms, and strategic enablement. Andy has built frameworks used across the channel and is recognised as a founding Oxygen Influencer and media-trained spokesperson for Pax8.

He's equally at home on stage breaking down a complex AI architecture as he is talking about the confidence and resilience it has taken along the way.

His talks draw on lived experience: the setbacks, the pivots, and the moments where understanding yourself turned out to matter more than understanding the technology.

Andy recently ended a 15-year hiatus from golf and is on a mission to reach single figures - proof that it's never too late to back yourself.

I'm a computer scientist with a background in software engineering, focused on the intersection of distributed systems and infrastructure reliability. Over the last decade, I've built and scaled systems across global organizations — from observability platforms at PlutoTV (Paramount Skydance), to multi-tenant cloud infrastructure at Traive, and AI-native talent pipelines at Cuesoft.

I'm currently pursuing a Ph.D. in Computer Science at the University of North Dakota, where my research centers on AI-driven methods for infrastructure reliability — specifically, how multi-modal observability data can enable accurate fault prediction in distributed systems.

As the founder of Cuesoft, I'm building a talent development and management startup that helps companies integrate AI effectively by cultivating AI-native engineering talent. We believe that in the era of AI, investing in people is what drives real productivity, sales, and profit margins.

Most organizations don’t fail because of poor leadership or lack of talent. They fail because their systems quietly work against their intentions.

I’m a Ph.D.-trained organizational systems expert and founder of a successful operating company. I work with senior leaders when strategy is clear, people are capable, and execution still isn’t happening.

My keynotes help organizations:
-Understand why execution breaks down even in high-performing cultures
-Replace blame and burnout with system-level clarity
-Build human-centered structures that actually support follow-through
-Leaders bring me in when initiatives stall, transformations lose momentum, or “alignment” hasn’t translated into results. I translate complexity into shared language teams can use immediately—without oversimplifying or shaming.
-Audiences include executive teams, leadership cohorts, government agencies, and professional associations navigating complex change.

Typical outcomes: Greater clarity around where work gets stuck, a shared framework for diagnosing execution problems, and practical next steps leaders can act on after the event—not just inspiration that fades by Monday.
