Where did that 25 years go!

As the CEO and co-founder of Kruger Cowne, looking back on these past 25 years feels like traversing through a vivid tapestry of inspiration, leadership, and transformation. From the moment we signed BBC World Affairs editor John Simpson as our first client in 1999, I knew we were embarking on an extraordinary journey. That journey has seen us grow into one of the most influential and renowned speaker agencies globally, representing over 300 iconic figures across various fields.

Every day at Kruger Cowne brings its own set of challenges and rewards, but a constant has been the opportunity to work alongside some of the most thought-leading talent in the world. Steven Bartlett’s insights into AI and technology have not only captivated audiences but have also significantly influenced our strategic direction. Sir Bob Geldof’s unwavering commitment to leadership and humanitarian causes has served as a moral compass for our company. Working with icons like Elle Macpherson, Bear Grylls, Robin Sharma, Dr. Jane Goodall DBE, Dr. Merritt Moore, and Eddie Jordan has continually reinforced our commitment to diversity and excellence in every keynote speech we curate.

Our aim has always been to cover an expansive range of topics - from wellness and wellbeing to Formula One; from politics to zoology; from climate change to AI - ensuring we have the perfect speaker for every event and audience. This breadth of topics reflects the diverse interests and expertise of the talent we represent, as well as the varied needs of our clients.

The journey of Kruger Cowne has been about much more than just business growth; it has been about cultivating a global community that inspires, motivates, and empowers. As we celebrate this 25-year milestone, I am profoundly grateful for the trust our speakers and clients have placed in us. Their belief in our vision has been instrumental in our success.

Looking forward, I am excited about the future of Kruger Cowne. The landscape of public speaking and events is evolving rapidly, and we are committed to staying at the forefront of this change. We are continuously exploring new themes, technologies, and ideas to ensure that our speakers and the events we support remain impactful and relevant.

Reflecting on the past 25 years, I am filled with a sense of pride and accomplishment. But more importantly, I am filled with anticipation for what the future holds. The potential for further growth, innovation, and influence is boundless, and I am eager to continue this journey with our incredible team, our esteemed speakers, and our valued clients.

Here’s to the next 25 years of inspiring the world, one speech at a time.
