Three-time author and adjunct professor who demystifies AI and digital leadership for executives.
David Banger is an award-winning international innovator, three-time author, adjunct professor at Swinburne University's School of Business, Law and Entrepreneurship, and the founder of CHANGE lead — a consultancy with clients across Australia and internationally. His executive career has spanned IBM, Microsoft, KPMG, Prudential, CBA, and John Holland, including roles as Chief Information Officer and Chief Digital Innovation Officer. He has also studied artificial intelligence at MIT, cybersecurity at Harvard, and strategic innovation at IMD.
What makes David a distinctive voice in the AI and digital space is his ability to strip away the jargon. In 2023 alone, he delivered more than 40 AI keynotes to boards, executive teams, and conference audiences — explaining how organisations can navigate uncertainty without needing to speak the language of technology. His three books use trademarked cartoon imagery to make complex ideas memorable, a technique that works equally well on stage. He is also a TV host on Ticker TV, where he created and hosted the CHANGE lab.
David is best suited to executive forums, technology conferences, and corporate strategy days where leaders need to make sense of digital disruption without getting lost in the detail. Clients describe him as genuinely curious, warm, and collaborative — someone who tailors his content to the specific organisation rather than recycling a standard deck. Whether the room is a boardroom of ten or a conference of hundreds, he brings both intellectual credibility and practical direction.
David Banger is a keynote speaker based in Victoria who speaks on artificial intelligence, business strategy and innovation. Book through Executive Speakers Australia.
David has a big brain and an innate ability to simplify complex emerging topics. After reading his books, I knew our clients would benefit. Our clients have attended many special speaking events globally throughout their careers, and so many of them said David's workshop was one of the very memorable. Everyone at Coupa is very grateful for David's thoughts, humility and warmth.Coupa Software
