“We welcomed Toto as the keynote speaker at our virtual global Managing Director strategy event. The brief was around building sustainable performance and the culture needed to support this. Toto took the time to meet with us well ahead of the event itself and we spent an hour discussing the background, our needs and the various relevant topic areas. It was clear that Toto had already taken time to look into our organisation, history and strategy. We were impressed with how well this was understood and also how strong links were made to the Mercedes F1 team experience, development and culture building over time. In terms of the event, Toto engaged in a "fireside chat" for 30 minutes which flowed very well, with a clear spontaneous feel, as opposed to something that was stage-managed. Toto took the questions very much in his stride and provided clear responses, drawing on examples, which resonated well with the audience. We were delighted with Toto's contribution and approach and would highly recommend him for similar events ” - Moses, Swiss Reinsurance Company Ltd

 "Thank you for securing us Toto and Susie Wolff for our SLM 2021 event this year. I thought the combination worked really well having them both together, and would recommend that to your other clients. I received many remarks from event attendees around how ‘on message’ they both were on the themes of leadership and culture, which was a big focus of our event this year. It was a real event highlight. In terms of official post-event reporting, 62.5% found their session excellent and 35% found it good (1 person found it average but perhaps he/she was a Red Bull fan)." - Tetra Pak
