MAKE GROWTH HAPPEN
Growth Keynote Speaker
for Business and Marketing Leaders
– Thomas Barta
A Personal Message from Thomas
Growing a business—profitably—is hard. Markets shift. Disruption is constant. Customers change. And inside most companies, great marketing and growth ideas die quietly.
To help leaders break through, I’ve led the world’s largest studies on growth leadership and marketing leader impact. I’ve worked with thousands of senior leaders worldwide—as a growth keynote speaker, growth workshop host, and adviser. That global insight shapes every talk I give.
Growth takes three things: 1. Igniting real opportunities. 2. Rallying the organization. 3. Daring to move—before the plan is perfect.
My keynotes deliver practical insights, powerful stories, and lessons from the world’s most respected growth leaders.
One final promise: we’ll make this easy. My growth keynotes consistently rank in the top 10% of events. My team knows how to work with you seamlessly—from first call to final applause.
Yours,
Thomas
