Bring Jeetesh's Unique Insights & Humor to Keynote Your Event  

Jeetesh Kathawaroo is the keynote speaker to book to ensure your audience is not put to sleep or bored to death by the typical keynote speaker.  With Jeetesh, your audience will be motivated and inspired, while receiving valuable tools to help improve the bottom line.

Jeetesh calls himself The Reluctant Management Consultant, a title well earned and one that should make anyone searching for a good public speaker curious. His presentations as a key note speaker, conference speaker, event speaker, guest speaker and business speaker have been smash hits by combining intelligence, extensive experience - and a sense of humor.

But Jeetesh isn't a stand-up comedian in a business suit. He's a serious key note speaker who backs up the one-liners with a resume that is as impressive as it is lengthy. In nearly 15 years, he's effectively managed major transformation projects and cross functional teams in the insurance, financial services, petrochemical, pharmaceutical, mining and advertising industries. On three continents, no less.

A Professional Speaker Who Deeply Understands Business  

Throughout his career, Jeetesh's specialties have focused on redesigning and re-engineering organizational workflows, processes, and implementing global IT systems.  This experience has given him great insight into how management and employees relate to each other, as well as the inconsistencies and contradictions that arise in large organizations. 

This insight and his unique point of view have driven Jeetesh to become a sought-after public speaker for any business conference, event, key note or guest speaking opportunity in South Africa, the US and the UK.

Business Insights That Come From Real Life Experiences in the Trenches  

For years, Jeetesh had a up-close view of more management foul-ups and tactical errors, many of them exacting huge financial and human costs, than he cares to remember. As he went from company to company as an advisor, he saw the same mistakes being made over and over.  Jeetesh shares these insights at his speaking events, injecting his own unique perspective and brand of humor.

Companies could avoid common errors if they simply shared their experiences with each other, he thought. One problem: many companies didn't like admitting they made mistakes, especially in front of hundreds or thousands of guests at a conference.

It was up to Jeetesh to teach the world how to avoid repeating these business pitfalls, and so The Reluctant Management Consultant was born and Jeetesh's career as a speaker at conferences, key note events and business conferences was launched.

A Business and Keynote Speaker with International Experience & Themes  

Jeetesh began his public speaking career as a key note and conference speaker to a variety of business and civic organizations across South Africa. This has expanded to the US and UK as Jeetesh continues to share his unique brand of humor and business acumen, along with his sharp observations of human behavior and a deep understanding of business.  Jeetesh has never been shy about poking fun at the many sacred cows of the business world during his speaking events.

To be certain no one would confuse one of his keynote speeches with a day at the office, Jeetesh injected hilarious anecdotes and his own Top Ten lists into his memorable keynote addresses delivered without PowerPoint, which he considers the bane of the business world.
