ABOUT TED

One of Google’s earliest employees, Ted spent 20+ years helping write one of the greatest business stories of all time.

From its origin as a fledgling Search engine trying to find its footing after the “dot com” crash in 2000 to becoming one of the largest and most important companies in the world, Google helped define an era.

During his time at Google, Ted held many different positions both in Chicago and in Paris, France, ultimately leading to his dual roles as Founder of the Google CFO Forum and Head of Industry, Retail.

Ted Souder spent 20 years helping write one of the greatest business stories of all time as a Google insider both in the U.S. and France.

Now you can learn how to leverage the best of the Google Playbook to accelerate out of the pandemic and into a bright new digital-first future!

FOCUS ON HELPING YOU DRIVE HOME THE RIGHT MESSAGE

Ted works closely with his clients to understand their goals for the event in order to ensure that everyone comes away both inspired and ready for action.

By spending time with the event organizers and other stakeholders prior to the event, Ted is able to build a custom presentation that is rooted in the needs of the business.

Ted makes sure that every presentation he does is both “interesting and actionable” in an effort to drive real change.

IT’S MORE THAN A SPEECH

You aren’t hiring Ted for 1 event, you are starting a relationship.

In addition to the prep work and the presentation itself, Ted always makes himself available for follow-up meetings with the C suite and other senior-level executives who are interested in continuing the conversation.

Usually, these meetings take place, on-site, and after the presentation but they can also be done virtually and over an extended period of time.
