"It's unnatural to admit as a technologist, but the opportunity will not come from the technology; the value is all about the friction and those able to uncover it."
Andy Readman is an international speaker who believes the real challenge of AI isn't technical — it's human. As AI Platform Lead at Pax8, he works with the Workflow Engineering team to transform the capability of Pax8 internally; combining cutting edge technology, new ways of working, and human centric transformation.
He helps people move from tool adoption to genuine competitive advantage. But his talks go further than most. Whether he's demystifying AI for a room full of sceptics or unpacking what real leadership looks like under pressure, Andy brings the same thing: clarity, authenticity, and stories that land.
With nearly two decades spanning solutions architecture, data platforms, and strategic enablement, Andy has experience of applying a consulting methodology to the channel and is recognised as a founding Oxygen Influencer and media-trained spokesperson for Pax8.
He's equally at home on stage breaking down a complex AI architecture as he is talking about building self-confidence and the resilience his story has required along the way. His talks draw on lived experience: the setbacks, the pivots, and the moments where understanding yourself turns out to matter more than understanding the technology.
Andy recently ended a 15-year hiatus from golf and is on a mission to reach single figures — proof that it's never too late to back yourself.
