Sameer Rawjee

Sameer Rawjee is a globally recognised keynote speaker, author, and expert on the future of work, known for helping leaders navigate the fast-changing intersection of human intelligence and artificial intelligence. He is the Founder of the Life Design Lab at Google, a pioneering internal initiative that reached over 10,000 employees across 50 countries and reshaped how individuals find purpose at work.

Sameer’s early career began in education and entrepreneurship, where he founded an online tutoring startup that was later acquired and integrated into a Zuckerberg-backed African university initiative. This early success informed his passion for human development and purpose-led innovation. After studying across four global universities, he joined Google’s European HQ, where he transitioned from digital marketing into internal innovation, designing career and culture programmes that supported employees in navigating personal and technological change.

Today, as the CEO of O School Ventures and author of the book “Taking the Anxiety out of AI”, Sameer partners with organisations like Meta, Salesforce, SoundCloud, TikTok, and Investec to help leaders and teams adapt to the rapidly advancing AI age. As a keynote speaker, Sameer focuses on the critical human dimension of AI adoption, equipping organisations not just with awareness of emerging technologies but with the emotional and cognitive tools required to lead in an AI-first world. His most in-demand keynotes, including “How to Master Human Intelligences in the AI Era” and “How to Think Like a Futurist”, provide leaders with frameworks to embrace creativity, empathy, adaptability, and ethical decision-making—the human traits that cannot be automated. His delivery blends systems thinking, storytelling, and deep research, making complex technological shifts feel actionable and human.

Sameer’s influence extends beyond the stage. His Life Design model has been adopted by leading business schools such as INSEAD and London Business School, and his work has been featured by global media, including CNN and Real Leaders Magazine. His latest book, “Taking the Anxiety out of AI”, is now used by organisations to train leaders in managing the emotional, cultural, and strategic implications of artificial intelligence in the workplace. In a world where AI is often framed in fear and uncertainty, Sameer Rawjee brings clarity, confidence, and humanity to the conversation. He is a speaker of choice for companies seeking to future-proof their people, transform leadership thinking, and build ethically grounded, emotionally intelligent organisations. If your audience needs a speaker who can make AI both accessible and meaningful, Sameer delivers.
