AI Practitioner · Keynote speaker · Australia and Asia Pacific
AI practitioner. Boots on, sleeves up. I build it. I run it. Then I show the team how. When you book me, you get the practitioner's account, from someone still in the work this week.
Three things most AI speakers can't say.
Runs a business on ~50 AI agents in production. Founder of Velluto, an AI-native medical platform live in Australian general practice today.
Eight AI courses written for Australian businesses and teams. Confirmed AI Labs speaker at Arival 2026.
Not borrowed case studies. Three operations running on AI right now. Real numbers, from the field.
Real results
I went from two people in the USA interested in what we do to over 500. In one month. We have overtaken every volunteer tourism operator in NSW, even surpassing some professional sites who have paid staff doing the same job.Parramatta Female Factory Friends · Digital program 2023
What I speak on
Each one hands the room a named idea they'll carry into Monday, built from things I've actually run. Tell me who's in the room and I'll tell you the angle.
AI for the founders / the board
The 18-month question every founder is quietly avoiding, and what to do about it.
The "why" behind every other talk: the stakes, named, and the confidence to lead.
AI for the whole firm
Where AI fits across your whole organisation, and how to scale confidence, not just tools.
One map your leadership can point at to see where to start and what is missing.
AI for middle management
Your managers are where AI adoption either spreads or quietly dies.
Managers who carry AI down to the floor instead of stalling it.
AI for your staff
The right tools for the people behind the founder, before your best leave for a firm that has them.
A team that moves faster, stays, and keeps you here next year.
AI for getting found
Why AI assistants don't recommend your firm, and how to fix it.
A plan to become the firm the AI names first.
Formats
The signature format. Cuts through the noise for a conference, board day, or leadership retreat.
Hands-on, build-something-real sessions. This is where vibe coding lives.
Comfortable off-script, and I don't dodge the hard questions.
I build something in front of the room in real time. Risky and memorable.
The opposite of death by PowerPoint. I build it live, in the room.
How I work a room
Plain language, built for the whole room, not the IT department.
I design the imagery and metaphors to land each idea with your team, never borrowed stock or jargon.
Often a working tool, made live on stage while the room watches.
Every booking includes a session with your team first, so the talk covers exactly what they need.

Common questions
Fabienne Wintle speaks about practical AI for organisations built before AI arrived: what is genuinely working, what to ignore, and what to do on Monday. Her talks are a report from the field, drawn from three live businesses she runs on AI, including Velluto, an AI-native medical platform live in Australian general practice.
Her five signature talks are Still Here Next Year (for founders and boards), The AI Compass (organisation-wide AI enablement), The Empowerment Frame (AI adoption for middle managers), Set the Team Up Right (tooling for staff), and Crawlable and Queryable (AI search visibility).
Most AI keynote speakers brief from the sidelines. Fabienne is an AI practitioner. She runs a business on around 50 AI agents in production, founded Velluto, an AI-native medical platform live in Australian general practice, and has written eight AI courses for Australian businesses and teams. Her talks are evidence from the field, not synthesis of someone else's research.
Each talk is matched to a specific audience: founders and boards, the whole organisation, middle managers, frontline staff, and the people responsible for being found by customers. The set ladders from leadership down to teams.
The Empowerment Frame is Fabienne Wintle's framework for AI adoption by middle managers. It holds that the story a manager tells their team about AI, whether it is a threat, a tool, or the team's future, decides whether the team adopts it. Because staff hear strategy from their manager far more than from executives, the middle layer is where AI adoption either spreads or stalls.
The AI Compass is Fabienne Wintle's map for where AI fits across a whole organisation: Find, Serve, Run, and Equip, around your own knowledge at the centre. It helps leadership see where to start and what is missing, and moves each area from buying the tool to building the capability.
Yes. Formats include keynotes (20 to 60 minutes), hands-on workshops (half to full day), panels and fireside chats, and live builds where she builds something on stage in real time.
Organisations built before AI arrived: medical and allied health, legal, accounting and financial services, professional services, government and local councils, trades, retail, hospitality, and tourism.
Fabienne Wintle is based in Queensland, Australia, and is available for keynotes, workshops, and executive briefings across Australia and Asia Pacific.
Email [email protected] or book a short call. Include your event name, date, location, audience, and the format you have in mind, and she usually replies within two business days.
Practical and hands-on, the opposite of death by PowerPoint. No tech talk: plain language for the whole room, not the IT department. Fabienne designs her own visuals and metaphors to land each idea with your team, and often builds a working tool live on stage rather than lecturing over slides.
Yes. Every booking includes a prep session with your team beforehand, built into the fee, so the talk covers exactly what your people need and lands in your context rather than a generic deck.
Tell me the audience and the date and I'll give you a straight answer. If it's not me, I'll usually know who it should be.
