AI Transformation Leader
Mark Kelly is a globally recognised AI keynote speaker and strategic advisor, trusted by business leaders across Europe and North America.
He is the author of the four-book AI Unleashed series, described as “the AI Bible” by Pat Kenny on Newstalk, and a TEDx speaker.
As founder of AI Ireland and The AI Awards, Mark reviews over 1,000 real AI projects every year — giving him a view of what actually works that few speakers can match.
He has delivered 300+ keynotes across Ireland and Europe and holds 700+ five-star client reviews.
Mark is also co-founder of Alldus, recognised in 2026 by Staffing Industry Analysts as one of the fastest-growing staffing firms in the US, with a 30% compound annual growth rate.
Alldus specialises in AI, data science, cyber security and digital transformation talent, giving Mark a live view of the skills organisations are hiring for right now.
He hosts the EU AI Act Podcast, interviewing the rapporteurs and senior EU officials who wrote the legislation. For boards facing new AI rules, this is first-hand insight, not second-hand commentary.
Mark is also founder and host of AI in Action, one of the top AI podcasts, with 1,000+ episodes featuring leaders from Amazon, Microsoft, Google and NASA.
His work is regularly featured on RTÉ, Newstalk, The Irish Times and The Sunday Times.
Artificial Intelligence Advisor
Mark‘s presentations are built on real evidence, not theory. He works with Fortune 100 companies, governments and fast-growing startups, in Ireland and internationally.
He also speaks on AI risk and security for boards and executive teams. As AI moves into core business processes, the EU AI Act, NIS2 and DORA land on the same board agenda.
Mark connects them into one clear picture — what the rules require, where the real exposure sits, and what to do first.
His strength is making complex topics simple. Every audience member leaves with a clear view, whatever their technical background.
Audiences don’t just get ideas. They get Mark‘s 5 P’s framework — a practical structure they can apply to their own organisation the next morning.
He combines storytelling, humour and hands-on work to build real confidence, not just awareness.
Mark‘s mission is to make 1 million people AI-literate, building a better and more inclusive society.
