Sir Ray Avery GNZM — New Zealand scientist, inventor, entrepreneur and philanthropist who challenges audiences to Dream Big and develop game-changing disruptive thinking.
Sir Ray Avery GNZM has built a career that defies easy categorisation. He is a scientist, inventor, author, entrepreneur, philanthropist and startup investor — a combination that reflects a lifetime of operating across the boundaries of disciplines that most people keep separate. Internationally recognised as a charismatic and entertaining public speaker, Sir Ray has earned his standing not through institutional prestige alone but through the practical impact of his work across science, business and humanitarian endeavour.
His central challenge to audiences is to Dream Big — not as a motivational catchphrase but as a practical philosophy. He advocates for game-changing, disruptive thinking as the foundation of any meaningful contribution, and his own life demonstrates what becomes possible when that philosophy is applied with genuine rigour.
For healthcare, innovation, entrepreneurship and inspiration conferences, Sir Ray Avery is a distinctive choice. He brings the credibility of real scientific and commercial achievement, the warmth of someone who has devoted significant effort to philanthropic causes, and the entertainment value of a genuinely engaging stage presence. His sessions leave audiences reconsidering what they are capable of contributing — and what excuses they have been making to avoid it.
Sir Ray Avery is a keynote speaker based in New South Wales who speaks on business strategy, innovation and inspiration. Book through Executive Speakers Australia.
