Jacob grew up in an immigrant family from the Republic of Georgia, where he was taught the values of hard work, determination, and having a vision. After college, he landed a job in a company that promised growth and development opportunities, but he soon found himself stuck doing menial tasks like cold-calling and PowerPoint presentations. One day, he was asked to fetch coffee by the CEO, which led him to quit and pursue his own entrepreneurial journey.
Today, Jacob is a successful international author, keynote speaker, futurist, and entrepreneur with a global following. He conducts extensive research by surveying employees and working with CEOs worldwide, and he designs each of his speeches to be impactful, backed by data, and filled with engaging stories. His areas of expertise include leadership, the future of work, and employee experience, and he aims to inspire his audience to take action and provide practical tools to help them turn their visions into reality.
Jacob collaborates closely with his clients to tailor his speeches to their specific needs and align them with their goals, whether it is for a small group of CEOs or a large audience of thousands.
