Who I am

Felipe Gallardo — a consultative partner, not a booking service.

For 25 years I've worked at the heart of the international speaking industry. I helped open the Spanish-speaking speaker market back in 2000, co-founded the first international Spanish-language speakers bureau, and have built and led speaker agencies from Madrid to New York. Today, with Speakers Associates, I connect organizations worldwide with world-class speakers on AI, leadership, and governance.

My work isn't to sell you a name from a list. It's to understand the business challenge behind your event and recommend the speaker who will create the greatest value for your audience — then handle every detail so the day runs flawlessly.

Most of the best engagements come from relationships and real understanding, not transactions — listening first, matching carefully, and following through until the right speaker is on your stage.
