Keynote Speaker: Executive Coach & Business Leadership Expert; Author of "Let's Get Real: 42 Tips for the Stuck Manager"

Binod Shankar Biography

Binod Shankar is a keynote speaker who delivers results without the typical motivational fluff. Instead of providing a quick buzz followed by a crash, Shankar offers impact through blunt truths, hard-hitting insights, and practical tools that audiences can apply.

His presentations are akin to a shot of espresso with a touch of adventure—high-voltage sessions that provoke, entertain, and drive people to act. When Shankar steps on stage, audiences experience a gripping, no-nonsense journey through real-world challenges, complemented by sharp humor and relatable storytelling. His combination of corporate experience, entrepreneurial spirit, and passion for extreme adventure keeps audiences engaged and inspired to think and act differently.

Shankar stands out as a speaker because of his extensive experience and ability to communicate authentically. His background includes leadership roles at global companies such as KPMG, Ernst & Young, and Nakheel, where he helped raise the world’s largest convertible Islamic bond. He later co-founded Genesis, a financial training powerhouse, which he scaled and sold to Kaplan, a $2 billion global training giant. Shankar is not just a speaker; he is a builder, a leader, and a doer.

His superpower is simplifying complex topics. Whether addressing leadership, career pivots, or personal growth, Shankar breaks down concepts into bite-sized, actionable takeaways without jargon or corporate terminology—providing real, raw insights that resonate.

In addition to his impactful presentations, Shankar is also an Executive Coach specializing in helping finance professionals overcome obstacles. His coaching and mentoring are grounded in results-driven strategies, focusing on leadership development and executive performance with a strong emphasis on action and accountability.

Beyond his professional endeavors, Shankar enjoys the outdoors, often found on a mountain or cycling trails. He has summited 13 peaks across three continents, including Kilimanjaro and Elbrus, cycled challenging routes such as Manali to Leh (463 km at altitude), and completed multiple marathons.

Shankar holds several credentials, including Chartered Accountant, CFA Charterholder, and ILM Level 7 qualification in Coaching & Mentoring. He is also the author of “Let’s Get Real: 42 Tips for the Stuck Manager,” a guide for professionals seeking change.

For an engaging keynote speaker who not only talks but delivers, inspiring audiences to think harder, aim higher, and take action, Shankar is the ideal choice.
