External speakers

At JIC, the main platform focuses on thought leadership, with the majority of content delivered by external speakers. In 2024, we are looking forward to hearing from the following speakers:

Sir Richard Shirreff had a 37-year career in the British Army, and commanded soldiers on operations at every level from platoon to division. This has included combat in the Gulf War of 1991 as a tank squadron leader and again in Iraq as a divisional commander, together with other operations in Northern Ireland, Kosovo and Bosnia. In addition he had extensive staff experience at brigade, Army HQ and in the Ministry of Defence. He commanded NATO’s Allied Rapid Reaction Corps and his final military assignment was NATO’s 4 Star Deputy Supreme Allied Commander Europe.

In February 2016 he co-founded Strategia Worldwide Ltd, a global risk advisory company, which has since built up a sizeable portfolio of clients across different industrial sectors. Also in 2016 his novel entitled 2017: War With Russia, was published and became a bestseller. It has been translated into eight languages.

Dr Leslie Vinjamuri is a leading commentator on the US global role, international order and geopolitics. She is currently leading a project on the US role in a Global Recovery and on the Future of Internationalism, with a focus on the US relationship with China and its implications for international and regional order.

She is the Director of the US and the Americas programme and Dean of the Queen Elizabeth II Academy for Leadership in International Affairs at Chatham House. She is also Deputy Chair of the Marshall Aid Commemoration Commission, a member of the Council on Foreign Relations, and on the Advisory Board of LSE IDEAS.

Leslie has written extensively on US politics, foreign policy and transatlantic relations, and is co-editor of Anchoring the World. She is a frequent commentator for leading news outlets including the BBC, CNN and Bloomberg.

Polar Explorer Ann Daniels is a world record holder and one of Britain’s leading explorers. Starting out as a mother of young triplets and without any outdoor experience, pure hard work and belief led her to being selected from over 200 more experienced women to take part in her first North Pole expedition. From these humble beginnings, she went on to conquer the South Pole and in 2002, along with her team mate Caroline Hamilton became the first and only women in history to ski to the North and South Poles as part of all women teams. Experiencing temperatures as low as -50C and dealing with various encounters with Polar bears, she has sledge-hauled over 2000 miles, in the most inhospitable environments in the world, completing over 10 polar expeditions and surviving over 400 days on the ice. As a Polar guide and ice leader of the high profile scientific Catlin Arctic surveys she is living proof that good leadership, teamwork and believing in yourself does make a difference.

Daniel Hulme is an expert in Artificial Intelligence and investor in Emerging Technologies. He's the CEO of Satalia, an award-winning company that provides AI products and solutions for global companies such as Tesco and PwC. Satalia joined the world's largest marketing company in 2021, WPP, where Daniel is now the Chief AI Officer.

Passionate about how technology can be used to govern organisations and bring positive social impact, Daniel discusses AI, ethics, metaverse, emerging technology, innovation, decentralization and organisational design. He is a serial speaker for Google and TEDx, holds an international Kauffman Global Entrepreneur Scholarship, and is a faculty member of Singularity University. He has advisory and executive positions across companies and governments, and actively promotes purposeful entrepreneurship and technology innovation across the globe.

Matt Goodwin is an academic, bestselling author, pollster, and speaker known for his research on: politics, populism, elections, voting, public opinion, Brexit, Europe, academic freedom and more. He is Professor of Politics at Rutherford College, University of Kent, recently served as Senior Visiting Fellow at the Royal Institute of International Affairs, at Chatham House, Senior Fellow with the UK In a Changing Europe, Senior Fellow at the Legatum Institute, and Senior Advisor to the UK Education Committee. In 2022, Matt was appointed Social Mobility Commissioner.

The author of six books, he wrote the No.2 Sunday Times bestseller Values, Voice and Virtue: The New British Politics, and the Sunday Times bestseller, National Populism: The Revolt Against Liberal Democracy, which was translated into multiple languages and listed among the Financial Times and Times Literary Supplement as one of the books of the year.
