“He was just incredible from the beginning of our conversations, to the event presentation, to the post event engagement with the audience. A wonderful professional to deal with. I would engage Joel at the next opportunity I have.”

“If you need inspiration, education and entertainment, Joel covers all three. He was a keynote speaker at the Irish Health Research Board conference on Big Data in Health, the opportunities and challenges ahead. He did not speak to our audience, he brought them on a journey. First we went back in time. This was to ground our understanding of how far we have come in the world of data, big data and AI. Through clever examples and recent research papers he demonstrated the growth and potential of big data and AI for health. If you asked anyone in our audience, they would say it was an incredible journey.”
Gillian Markey
“Joel gave an outstanding presentation at our annual partners’ meeting in 2017, speaking to the top 200 leaders in our company.

I’d highly recommend Joel for anyone who is looking for a speaker that will present a compelling vision of the future of healthcare.”
