James Peach is an award-winning global marketing leader (Ex-Uber, Ex-Vinted, Ex-Innocent, Ex-Coca-Cola), world cyclist and adventurer, leadership and performance coach, and founder of The Growth Project. 

He has built some of the world’s most successful household brands in tech and consumer goods, leading award-winning marketing and creative teams across Europe and North America.

James spent two years cycling a lap of the world solo and unsupported, covering over 41,000 kilometres across 38 countries. He has hiked solo across three continents and even pioneered the first triathlon to span an entire nation.

As the Founder of The Growth Project, James is redefining the way we think about growth and how to achieve ambitious goals – moving beyond the traditional ‘growth mindset’ to a new, more actionable framework. The Growth Project explores how we can use the lessons of the past and adopt a set of behaviours to accelerate future growth, unlocking new ways for individuals, teams, and business cultures to thrive.

James is also a Mental Health Ambassador for CALM (Campaign Against Living Miserably), a leading charity working to prevent suicide and support mental well-being. With 125 lives lost to suicide each week, James is committed to raising awareness, challenging stigma, and promoting resilience in both personal and professional settings.

“The most engaging, insightful, and inspiring speaker we’ve ever had.”
“I’ve had James speak at large corporate events a number of times, because he’s one of the best speakers around. Hugely inspirational, exemplifies resilience against adversity, exceptional story-teller, engaging content and someone everyone can relate to. I’d recommend him to anyone and everyone.”
“James immediately understood  the brief and, wow, did James deliver an engaging and inspiring keynote speech. James brought to life resilience and teamwork with the most captivating and entrancing talk. He left the audience truly galvanised by his fascinating adventures, yet humbled by how relatable he is. I’ve seen my fair share of speakers over the years and hands down James has been my favourite to date. A normal person who has done extraordinary things. The true measure of the impact is that several months on the teams are still referring to what we learned on the day with James. I recommend James without hesitation for anyone looking for a keynote speaker.”
“James has an amazing story to tell and is an amazing storyteller. Sharing a fascinating tale through a visual feast of stunning scenery paired with a delightful dose of humour and humility, James’ journey is extraordinary. We invited James to be the keynote speaker at our Company All Hands meeting and he effortlessly connected his experience of cycling around the world to our journey as a business in a way that provoked profound reflection and engagement from the graze team. His insightful parallels between his experiences and our company’s aspirations left a lasting impact on everyone present.”
“We have had nothing but exceptional feedback for James, one of the best for all of us. We couldn’t recommend James highly enough for professionalism, input, commitment, inspiration and just being a decent human being that we loved working with.”
“James spoke to our team on the topic of resilience, using stimulus from cycling around the world and his experience as a brand leader. He gave a captivating and entertaining talk, with meaningful content and practical advice. James is very engaging, he speaks with honesty and passion – and the talk had a big impact on the team, so much so we have invited him back.”
“James masterfully communicated the profound connection between individual well-being and team success. His insights were not only eye-opening but also actionable, providing inspiring and practical strategies for what integrating self-care can look like no matter where you are or what you are doing. What stood out most was James’s genuine passion and authenticity. He didn’t just talk; he engaged with our team on a personal level, making his message resonate deeply. His energy and enthusiasm were contagious, leaving us all inspired to make positive changes for ourselves and our teams. James’s talk was a true highlight of our day, leaving a lasting impact on everyone fortunate enough to hear him speak. I wholeheartedly recommend James as a speaker for any event focused on well-being, team dynamics, business and personal growth.”
“James spoke at Google Campus to 140 people. Of the 50+ high profile talks we’ve hosted, James was hands down the best speaker we’ve ever had. We’ve hosted talks with CEO’s, COO’s and founders from Transferwise, Stripe, Monzo, Gousto, Skype, and James was in a different bracket. Absolutely gripping, fixated audience and most importantly very intuitive with meaningful content.”
“James is a confident and inspiring speaker, he had a focussed angle he wanted to tell, all of it grounded in real life experience. If you are looking for a thought-provoking and motivating session, I would certainly recommend him.”
“James is such an engaging story-teller – he joined us for our annual Tesco Property conference and when speaking to colleagues afterwards, James’ key-note speech is the first thing that they mentioned – the feedback was fantastic! His personal story was told in a light, humorous and engaging way – interweaved with core messages that linked to our Tesco Winning Behaviours – he had really taken the time to personalise his story to make it relevant to the audience. I would have no doubt recommending James – you will not regret it!”
“All we can say is ‘WOW’. James is an incredibly inspirational, engaging and talented speaker who had the 100-member audience enthralled throughout. He expertly blended his life experience of cycling around the world over 2.5 years and lessons learnt along the way with the importance of looking after your mind and body. He was relatable and attendees could not stop talking about the session and the positive impact his words had on them. Whether you are looking for a mental health/wellbeing focus, inspirational talk or a business-related theme, we could not recommend James enough as a key speaker at your event.”
