Multigenerational Workplace speakers

Why organisations work with Timothy Armoo He has actually sold Gen Z attention to the buyers in the room. Fanbytes ran creator campaigns for Apple, McDonald’s, Nike, Samsung, Deliveroo and the UK Government before exiting to Brainlabs. Two exits before 28 give him an operator’s view of scale-up commercial discipline that most Gen Z marketing voices cannot match. His Penguin book What’s Stopping You? gives commercial audiences a structured language for the founder mindset he is asked to transfer into corporate teams. He sits inside Brainlabs as VP Influencer Marketing, which keeps his read on creator platforms, CPMs and Gen Z behaviour current rather than retrospective. He brings a credible answer to the multigenerational question: not a generational stereotype deck, but a working view of how Gen Z employees and customers behave once incentives are on the table. Biography highlights Co-founder and former CEO of Fanbytes; sold to Brainlabs in 2022 in an eight-figure deal. Sold his first business, EntrepreneurXpress, to Horizon Media at 17. Forbes 30 Under 30 Europe 2021, Media & Marketing. Named in the Evening Standard Progress 1000 list of London’s most influential figures in advertising and media. Author of What’s Stopping You? 11 Cheatcodes to Unlock the Life You Want, published by Penguin. Currently Vice President of Influencer Marketing at Brainlabs, the global digital agency that acquired Fanbytes. Biography The hardest commercial question facing many consumer brands is no longer awareness. It is whether the under-30 customer takes them seriously at all. Influencer budgets are climbing, internal teams are stretched between TikTok, Snapchat and YouTube, and most boards have no operator in the room who has actually run those campaigns at scale. Fanbytes was built to sit in that gap. Co-founded by Timothy Armoo in 2017 with Ambrose Cooke and Mitchell Fasanya, the agency ran creator campaigns for Apple, McDonald’s, Nike, Samsung, Deliveroo, Boohoo and the UK Government. In May 2022, Brainlabs acquired the business in an eight-figure deal. Armoo was 27. He stayed on as Vice President of Influencer Marketing at Brainlabs, which keeps his commercial view of Gen Z platforms current, not retrospective. The track record was not a single lucky exit. He sold his first company, EntrepreneurXpress, to Horizon Media at 17. Forbes named him to its 30 Under 30 Europe list for Media and Marketing in 2021. The Evening Standard Progress 1000 listed him among London’s most influential figures in advertising and media. His Penguin book What’s Stopping You? extends the same operator’s logic into a wider audience of commercial leaders and early-career professionals. For senior buyers, the value is specific. He is the rare voice on Gen Z marketing who can speak to a CMO with the discipline of a founder who had to make a P&L work, sell to a procurement team, and exit to a global agency. That is a different conversation from a panel on creator culture. Key speaking topics Gen Z consumer behaviour and brand decisions Influencer and creator-led marketing strategy Entrepreneurship and scale-up commercial discipline Building, scaling and exiting a venture-backed business The multigenerational customer and workforce Social platforms and the modern media landscape Ideal for CMOs, brand directors and consumer marketing leadership rethinking creator and Gen Z strategy Founders, scale-up CEOs and growth leaders preparing for raise, scale or exit Boards and exec teams of consumer-facing businesses with under-30 customer exposure Talent, employer brand and graduate recruitment leads who need a sharper read on Gen Z employees Audience outcomes A clearer commercial map of how Gen Z actually decides on brand, employer and product Specific operator lessons from building, scaling and selling a creator-economy agency A framework for evaluating influencer and creator spend as a measurable channel, not a content experiment A more honest read on the gap between how senior teams talk about Gen Z and how Gen Z behave Conviction to back internal entrepreneurial bets that conventional governance tends to slow

Why organisations work with Zavier Coyne He is the rare generational expert who belongs to the generation in question. Most authorities on Gen Z are older researchers studying it from the outside; Zavier started his first business at 15 and works the subject as a digital native, so he can translate in both directions between senior leaders and the employees they struggle to read. His Generational Intelligence framework gives leaders something to fix instead of someone to blame. He treats young-employee friction as a structural mismatch in how digitally native people handle feedback and authority, not as an attitude or entitlement problem. The work is tied to numbers leaders already own. Gen Z Coach engages on retention and engagement with clients from tech start-ups to FTSE 100 and NYSE-listed companies, so sessions are built around measurable outcomes, not sentiment. One engagement can reach both sides of the divide. He speaks to senior leadership on leading digitally native talent and to early-career employees on working across generations without lowering standards, addressing the friction from both directions at once. Biography highlights Co-Founder of Gen Z Coach, a multigenerational performance consultancy whose clients range from tech start-ups and universities to FTSE 100 and NYSE-listed companies Originator of the Generational Intelligence (GQ) framework, a behavioural skillset for leading and working across digitally native generations TEDx speaker and guest contributor to the University of Bath School of Management Skills Series Accredited Coach at the highest level of the Association for Coaching and a Master Intuitive Psychology Coach Fellow of beVisioneers: The Mercedes-Benz Fellowship, taking part in the fellowship’s youth-entrepreneurship session at Davos during the 2026 World Economic Forum Featured guest on generational-leadership podcasts including TomorrowToday Global’s Elephants in the Boardroom, and founder of a self-development podcast that topped the Apple charts Biography Gen Z is the first generation shaped entirely by digital systems from birth, and it is now entering workplaces built for an earlier era. The result is friction that most leaders misread. Falling retention and flat engagement get blamed on attitude, when the real gap is in how digitally native employees handle feedback and authority. Zavier Coyne built his work around closing that gap. Through Gen Z Coach, the consultancy he co-founded, he reframes the issue as a structural mismatch rather than a values problem. He gives it a name: Generational Intelligence, a behavioural skillset that both leaders and young employees can be trained in. His clients run from tech start-ups and universities to FTSE 100 and NYSE-listed companies, and the work is measured on retention and engagement. What separates him from most voices on the subject is position. The established authorities on Gen Z tend to be older researchers describing it from the outside. Zavier is a digital native who started his first business at 15 and works the subject from inside the generation. That lets him translate in both directions, which is why senior leaders use him as a bridge to employees they find hard to read. The credentials are concrete. Zavier is a TEDx speaker and an Association for Coaching accredited coach at the highest level. As a fellow of beVisioneers: The Mercedes-Benz Fellowship, he joined the programme’s youth-entrepreneurship session at Davos during the 2026 World Economic Forum.
