Dr Abdullah Verachia is one of the world’s leading strategy and disruption experts, renowned for helping organisations and leaders turn turbulence into opportunity. As CEO of The Strategists, he partners with top companies and governments to craft future-fit strategies that thrive in complex, fast-changing markets.
Abdullah’s keynotes stand out for their unique blend of big-picture strategic insight and deeply personal challenge—most famously asking, “Why don’t you have a personal strategy?” and leaving every audience with their own practical playbook for change.
A Harvard Business School alumnus and PhD in Strategy, he combines rigorous academic insight with personal, battle-tested experience as a trusted advisor to leading firms globally and as an entrepreneur who has co-founded four market-changing companies. His presentations provoke bold thinking, spark real motivation, and often move audiences to tears with their direct, human call to action.
Abdullah is a highly sought-after speaker who has delivered keynotes and masterclasses in over 70 cities worldwide. He has addressed premier global stages including the OECD in Paris, Columbia University in New York, Casa Asia in Madrid, and TEDx Euston in London, where he received a standing ovation.
Organisations value his ability to distil global complexity into clear, strategic insight—and to energise audiences to think bigger and act bolder.
