Speaker introduction (for MC use)

Our next speaker spent 31 years inside Africa's telecommunications industry, one of the most change-saturated, noise-filled environments imaginable. Out of that experience came a framework, a philosophy, and a question that has changed how thousands of people think about performance, pressure, and what it actually takes to operate at your best. Please welcome: Ricky Hinde.
