Explaining hard technology in plain language, on stages and in headphones.
I’m Dave Anderson — CMO at PointFive, a Saxton-listed keynote speaker, and the host of Tech Seeking Human. In my other life I make records, DIY and Peloton.
On stage
Succeeding at digital experience is a team sport.
A CX Circle keynote on why digital experience only works when the whole organisation owns it. Guitar and Socceroos jersey included.
Three practices
One throughline: stories worth paying attention to.
By day I run marketing at PointFive— a category-defining company at the crossroads of AI and cloud cost. Before that: platform GTM at Contentsquare, AI evangelist at DataRobot, and CMO at Dynatrace through the NYSE IPO.
On stage that shows up as keynotes for CBA, NAB, Telstra, Forrester, Red Hat Summit and AWS re:Invent. Australian, working out of Boston — the accent hasn’t shifted. In headphones it’s Tech Seeking Human— long-form conversations with people who are changing what technology means for the rest of us.
