Ideas worth putting in the room.

Keynotes and talks on technology leadership, execution, enterprise company building, security, and operating complex systems.

David Salami engaging with attendees at technology summit

Six areas drawn directly from work on systems that don’t get second chances.

01

Technical leadership at scale

Navigating organisational complexity, aligning engineering output with commercial survival, and leading high-context autonomous teams under real pressure.

02

Building software for constrained environments

Architecting distributed resilience, graceful degradation, and offline-first capabilities where network and hardware failures are daily operational certainties.

03

Security as a systems problem

Moving beyond dashboard compliance: designing human protocols, threat-modeled incentives, and zero-trust operational accountability directly into code.

04

Decision-making under operational constraints

Rigorous frameworks for high-stakes execution, capital allocation, and technical trade-offs when time, runway, and error budgets are razor-thin.

05

Bridging software and physical supply chains

Deploying real-time telemetry, inventory reconcilement, and warehouse dispatch algorithms across messy emerging market distribution channels.

06

Scaling technology in emerging markets

Hard-won playbooks for turning informal commerce, fragmented cash workflows, and infrastructure volatility into durable, high-margin software.

Who These Talks Are Built For.

Engineering leaders
Founders
Executives
Technical teams in complex environments

Audiences leave with clearer mental models, fewer abstractions, and better questions.
