Bios

Three lengths. Pick your column inches.

Each block has a copy button, because retyping a bio is nobody's idea of event planning.

Short bio (about 75 words)

Edward Roske is an AI keynote speaker who ships what he talks about.

He's written fifteen books, spoken in fifty-plus countries on all seven continents, and hosts the Asking Good Questions podcast.

Full bio

Edward Roske founded interRel Consulting at twenty-two and ran it for twenty-five years as one of the longest-standing Oracle Platinum EPM Partners before merging it into Argano, a billion-dollar consulting firm. Today he's the CEO of Dawnward, an investor and contributor at Caprus.ai, and one of the people actually shipping enterprise AI: MCP servers that let AI agents read and write live Oracle EPM data, in production now.

He's written fifteen books on enterprise analytics (the "Look Smarter Than You Are" series), holds a Master of Data Science from SMU (perfect 4.0, Outstanding Graduate), and has spoken in fifty-plus countries on all seven continents, including the one with penguins. His awards shelf includes the ODTUG Lifetime Achievement Award (2025, given to fewer than five people ever), six Top Speaker awards, and two Best Overall Speaker awards.

Edward hosts the Asking Good Questions podcast, publishes AI News briefs to 200,000+ YouTube subscribers, is president of the Puerto Rico AI Community (850+ executives), and co-chairs the Caribbean AI Summit. He lives in San Juan, Puerto Rico, runs his life on ten-plus AI agents, and wears the blue fedora on stage. (A Roske never removes his fedora in the presence of others.)

For your program book (the hype version)

Written in the third-person conference dialect your program book expects. Edward finds it embarrassing, which is how you know it's accurate.

Edward Roske is a world-renowned author, data scientist, and entrepreneur, celebrated as one of the foremost voices on artificial intelligence and business transformation.

As the visionary founder of interRel Consulting (steering it for over two decades before its strategic exit to Argano, a billion-dollar digital powerhouse) Roske continues to shape the direction of enterprise technology from the boardroom. Today, he is not only a trusted advisor to global corporations but also the driving force behind the fastest-growing AI leadership movement in Puerto Rico, convening executives, investors, and policymakers to define the future of applied AI.

The introduction

Hand this to your emcee.

Seventy-five words, reads in thirty seconds, no pronunciation hazards. (It's "ROSS-key.")

Spoken introduction

Our next speaker has written fifteen books, spoken in more than fifty countries on all seven continents, and spent twenty-five years building the consulting firm that Fortune 500 finance teams called when the numbers mattered. Now he builds AI. His agents run his calendar, his inbox, his code, and his website, which they redesign every Saturday without asking him first. He's the host of the Asking Good Questions podcast, and he's here to answer the AI questions you've been quietly asking yourself. Please welcome, in the blue fedora, Edward Roske.

A/V requirements

The rider is short.

Microphone
Wireless lavalier or headset preferred. Handheld works. Podium mics defeat the purpose (Edward moves).
Video
HDMI or USB-C input to your screens. He presents from his own laptop. 16:9, standard resolutions.
Confidence monitor
Appreciated in rooms over 300 people. Not required.
Tech check
Day before the session when possible, otherwise 60 minutes prior.
Recording
Fine with it. Licensing for internal or public distribution is quoted in the agreement.
Introduction
Use the 75-word intro on this page, or hand it to your emcee and let them improvise badly. Either is fine.

Logistics

The practical part.

Home base
San Juan, Puerto Rico. Direct flights to most US hubs.
Travel
Anywhere. Fifty-plus countries so far, all seven continents. Domestic travel is a flat buyout. International is quoted per event.
Arrival
Early. There is no such thing as on time: you’re either early or you’re late.
After the talk
Edward stays for the hallway track, Q&A, meet-and-greets, and book signings. He doesn't vanish to the airport mid-applause.
Dietary
Vegetarian. Handles it himself, so no special catering needed.
