Biography

Davide Di Giorgio is an operations and leadership advisor whose work has been field-tested at the scale most speakers only theorize about. He led Crumbl's first international expansion and 69 openings across the US and Canada, over 1,200 days on the operational floor. His work spans three decades: from resort floors to airline cabins, from the classroom to the boardroom, from opening night to opening day. The operating systems he's built underpin more than $100M in net sales.

What makes him different is his method: subtraction. He closes the gap between what a team is capable of and what it actually delivers by removing what's in the way — the controls, the oversight, the interventions that manufacture compliance — rather than adding more on top. It's the operating shift at the heart of his keynote, From Correction to Commitment, and a lens he built on the front line, not from a textbook: across hospitality, education, entertainment, and multi-unit operations. He refuses to separate leadership from operations — if the systems, standards, and decision points underneath the message don't change, the message doesn't hold.

His credibility comes from 1,200+ days in the field. He developed 50+ Field Trainers into committed brand ambassadors, moving retention on that team from six months to over two years, and engineered the systems behind multiple company-wide and grand-opening sales records.

He is the international bestselling author of Being Unapologetic, an Amazon #1 bestseller in eight countries, and a TEDx speaker on Comparanoia®. His next book, Good Enough: how great leaders build teams who care enough to perform when nobody's watching, is out late 2026. Alongside keynotes, he delivers executive masterclasses and a small number of leadership retainers each year. Based in Sicily; regularly in the US and Canada; booked globally.

Talk Topic

From Correction to Commitment. Every intervention on the market is correction with better packaging — and correction has a ceiling. The keynote. The workshop. The engagement platform. The survey comes back the same. This speech doesn't add another layer. It rebuilds the operating posture underneath so the change holds past Monday morning. Drawn from 1,200+ days on the floor, 69 location openings,

Talk Topic

The Engagement Ceiling. The recognition platform is deployed. Manager-effectiveness training has run. And the number hasn't moved on the pulse survey. Engagement is a belief problem, not a behaviour problem, and every downstream intervention misses it. This speech gives HR & People leaders the upstream diagnosis and the language to take the argument back to the C-suite where it belongs.

Talk Topic

What Works Doesn't Scale. The playbook is documented. The training is thorough. The best location is extraordinary. And the gap between it and the average keeps widening. The problem was never the systems. It's the belief layer underneath — and adding more SOPs, more technology, and more training doesn't touch it. This speech closes that gap.
