Bruce Dickinson is the Chairman and Founder of Caerdav (formerly Cardiff Aviation), a company that offers aircraft maintenance, repair and overhaul (MRO), consultancy, and pilot training services to major airlines, leasing companies, and private clients. A passionate advocate for innovation in aviation, Bruce has also invested in groundbreaking technologies such as the Airlander HAV – a sustainable helium-powered airship capable of transporting people or cargo to remote parts of the world – and Pouncer, an edible drone developed by Windhorse Aerospace to deliver humanitarian aid to disaster-stricken, hard-to-reach areas.
Bruce is a true polymath with a remarkable array of accomplishments beyond aviation and music. In addition to being the frontman of Iron Maiden, he’s also an award-winning beer brewer, film scriptwriter, international fencer, TV presenter, sports commentator, and Sunday Times #1 best-selling author of What Does This Button Do?, his acclaimed memoir.
His keynote speeches are nothing short of world-class. Drawing on a wealth of real-world experience, Bruce explores how the seemingly contrasting worlds of rock music and commercial aviation reveal universal lessons in leadership, teamwork, communication, strategic planning, and resilience. His talks are packed with insight and humour, showing how setbacks can be springboards for growth.
Bruce continues to travel the globe, inspiring audiences from multinational corporations to local businesses and start-ups, empowering them with the tools to face challenges head-on and embrace change with confidence.
