I'm Dr. Riaan Conradie, a systems biologist and multi-startup tech entrepreneur turned business strategist dedicated to helping entrepreneurs and executives unlock powerful new ways to think strategically.

By merging principles of biology and systems thinking - leveraging insights from biomimicry - with advanced AI, I empower leaders to craft smarter strategies faster and execute them with clarity and precision.

With over 15 years of experience founding and scaling innovative startups - including LifeQ, where I pioneered patented biometric technologies adopted by global brands such as Samsung and Montblanc - I understand how to transform visionary ideas into real-world success. My work has earned numerous accolades, including Fast Company's "South Africa’s Most Innovative Company," recognition among South Africa’s top 31 entrepreneurs under 40, and inclusion as one of 13 Digital All Stars tech entrepreneurs in South Africa. I've also shared my insights through live and scheduled local and international television interviews and have been an invited speaker at prestigious forums such as TEDx, keynote presenter at CES, and panelist and speaker at numerous international business and academic conferences.

Having said all of this, I also failed more than I want to admit.

In my workshops and consulting sessions, expect engaging, systems-driven methods that make complex concepts relatable and actionable. I'm here to help you view strategy through a refreshing biological and systems lens, leveraging AI-driven insights to keep your approach adaptive, focused, and ahead of the competition.
