Matti Speaker Agency is a boutique Europe-based keynote speaker agency, with chapters in Indonesia and California, specialising in geopolitics, strategic leadership, technology and AI transformation for executive audiences. We partner with corporations, governments and international organisations worldwide, connecting executive audiences with some of the world’s foremost thinkers on the defining challenges of our time.
We are not a catalogue. We do not measure ourselves by the number of speakers we represent or the volume of bookings we process. We measure ourselves by the quality of the strategic conversations we help create. Every partnership is tailored, intellectually curated and designed for long-term impact.
Johann has been working in the international speaking industry for over 15 years. His exclusive clients have included former State Presidents, Ministers, and business leaders from a wide range of industries.
His career spans financial services, humanitarian crisis management, international development, executive education and the global speaker industry — across Europe, USA, Africa and Asia. He works directly with each speaker, without any intermediaries, and brings the same high level of attention and commitment to every partnership.
The difference between a good speaker and the right speaker is not biography, it is relevance to a specific strategic moment.
Every engagement begins with a question: what is this organisation actually navigating right now? Then we intellectually decode those challenges before recommending any name.
This is strategic curation — not catalogue management, not talent brokerage. The ability to understand a leadership challenges deeply enough to know which perspective will shift how a room thinks.
It means you are properly briefed on the audience’s context before you walk on stage: we do not place speakers in mismatched contexts to fill a slot. That is the standard we hold ourselves to, and the partnership we offer.
As a boutique independent agency, we are able to offer more flexible commercial terms and more responsive service than larger, volume-driven bureaus — directly benefiting the speakers we represent.
Developing speaking opportunities, connecting you with the right audiences, and strengthening your international profile through our long-standing relationships with corporations, governments, event organisers and partner speaker bureaus across Europe, North America, the Middle East, Africa and Asia.
From keynote development to market positioning and brand visibility, we think beyond the next engagement. We bring speakers recuring opportunities.
Fee discussions, contracting, briefing coordination and ongoing client communication — end to end.
Complete travel and logistics coordination, including contingency planning and rapid response if anything unexpected arises — so you can focus entirely on your performance.
You choose how we work together. We offer either :
A close, long-term partnership in which MSA acts as your primary international agent—shaping your positioning, protecting your reputation, developing commercial opportunities, and managing every stage of the client journey from enquiry to post-event feedback.
A flexible relationship in which MSA promotes you to relevant clients and manages each engagement with the same level of care and professionalism.
