Intro Script
We've crafted a very specific short intro script for Caspar’s sessions. Please use this script (instead of a bio) to introduce him to the stage.
Our guest speaker today is a leading authority on the mindset, leadership, teamwork and resilience needed to achieve big bold goals.
He has achieved many audacious goals, both in business as a serial entrepreneur, CFO, and in the world of adventure.
He’s sailed twice around the world, the first time on the world’s toughest yacht race and the second time with his family team.
He’s a best-selling author and sought-after expert on the mindset needed to achieve Big Bold Goals
We saw a brief video about Caspar and thought this would be the best way to introduce him, so can we please play the video.

Long Biography (229 words)
Caspar Craven: Author of The Big Bold Mindset®, Twice Round-the-World Sailor
Caspar Craven is a leading authority on the mindset required to achieve Big Bold Goals through effective leadership and teamwork.
He understands firsthand the importance of putting people first to succeed, lessons learned the hard way. Along the journey, he has made mistakes, tackled extreme challenges, and lived the experiences he now shares with leaders and teams around the world.
Caspar has twice sailed round the world. The first was as a team leader on a trophy-winning racing yacht in the BT Global Challenge in 2000/01. The second was as captain of his family team, sailing for two years with his wife and three young children under the age of ten. Navigating uncertainty, pressure, and performance at sea became the ultimate leadership laboratory.
His business experience includes five years at KPMG, serving as CFO of a technology company sold to private equity, and co-founding and scaling a second technology business that was successfully exited to a global technology company. He is currently part of a team building a technology company in the climate change sector.
Caspar is driven by helping leaders and teams think bigger. Without bold thinking, organisations default to incremental change, and incremental change rarely leads to breakthrough. Real progress only happens when people fully commit to big, bold ambition.
A bestselling Bloomsbury author, Caspar has written The Big Bold Mindset® and Be More Human. Through years of research, interviews, and lived experience, he has studied what truly differentiates the most successful leaders.
Success leaves clues. Caspar brings those patterns, insights, and stories to organisations to create a transformational experience, not just a talk.
“A privilege to have Caspar present at our Financial Services kick-off event at BAE. Caspar is an excellent example of how an ‘ordinary’ person can achieve the ‘extraordinary’; through thinking ‘big and bold’! He will inspire and motivate all!”
Garry Harrison | Global Managing Director of Banking, Capital Markets + Insurance, BAE Systems Inc.

Worth its weight in gold. I have organised and attended many speaking engagements in the past, but none have come close to being as engaging.
