I speak on Strategy
Pierre is an award-winning author, keynote speaker and strategist helping people and businesses find their way.
The world can be a chaotic place,
like riding a psychotic horse towards a burning stable.
And the horse is on fire.
And you’re on fire.
Pierre works to help people and businesses find their way.
He builds systems of thought, making maps that help make sense of chaos, and gets everyone to become just a little braver so they can build things that move our world forward.
This is pierre
Pierre is the founder of Be Brave, a Strategy Design Lab that helps businesses and people find clarity in the chaos. With over two decades of experience developing people, building products, and designing strategies, Pierre blends ancient wisdom, systems thinking, and gut feels to create brave roadmaps for the future.
He’s spoken on four TEDx stages, written four books, won the Desmond Tutu Gerrit Brand prize for literature, worked with global brands like Tencent, BP, Yum!, Allan Gray, and HATCH, and delivered keynotes all around the world, that feel more like conversations around a campfire than boardroom lectures.
Part strategist, part modern-day augur, Pierre holds a Master’s in Systematic Theology and is fascinated by what it means to be human in an age of machines.
He lives in Cape Town with his wife, and two kids and when he is not reading or lifting weights, enjoys doom-scrolling.

“In a time where speakers all seem to sound exactly the same. Pierre manages to sound completely different. He’s the Ernest Hemingway to their Dan Brown, the Pink Floyd to their Nickelback.”
“A thought provoking collection of ideas and musings, that if taken to heart will add immense depth and richness (with compounding interest) to your life”
