ABOUT JONATHAN ALLEN
I\'ve delivered 550+ keynotes to audiences of up to — one of only 20 leaders trusted for main stage summit delivery. My message has evolved: it used to be about cloud. Now it\'s about AI.I\'ve been transforming businesses with technology since the dawn of the internet. From connecting ISP networks to launching Capital One onto the internet. I spent 17 years at Capital One, rising to UK Divisional CTO, where I was part of the global leadership team that made the bold bet on cloud before most enterprises dared.For the past nine years, I\'ve worked directly with CEOs, CIOs, CTOs, and Boards at over of the world\'s largest organisations — helping them find the speed, agility, and courage to transform. I wrote the book on it: Reaching Cloud Velocity, foreworded by AWS CTO Dr. Werner Vogels, now in its second edition.But cloud was the warm-up.Today, I\'m deep in the next wave: agentic AI. I\'m building on Amazon Bedrock and Bedrock Agent Core, designing multi-agent architectures, and working through the advanced team structures and organisational changes that AI adoption demands. My re:Invent 2025 keynote — \"A leader\'s guide to advanced team structures in an agentic world\" — became the most attended breakout session at re:Invent, confirming what I believe is the most transformative shift since the internet itself.What I bring:• Enterprise AI Strategy and Agentic Systems• Organisational Transformation for AI Adoption• Executive Storytelling and Main Stage Keynotes• Cloud-to-AI Migration at Enterprise Scale\"All of your assumed constraints are debatable.\"I love to build things and lead change. If you\'re navigating the shift from cloud to AI-first — or rethinking how your organisation must evolve for the age of AI agents — let\'s connect.Speaking inquiries welcome | Author of Reaching Cloud Velocity
