Caspar Craven: Teamwork Speaker

Building High-Performance Teamwork in a World that won’t Stand Still

Caspar Craven is a teamwork speaker known for delivering thought-provoking, story-driven keynotes that shift how teams think, communicate, collaborate, and perform together. His talks blend real-world experience, research, and practical tools that help teams build trust, strengthen alignment, and work together with greater clarity and resilience in times of uncertainty and rapid change.

He helps teams at all levels collaborate more effectively, communicate more openly, and perform with greater cohesion under pressure.

Caspar’s approach has been shaped by a life of unconventional team experiences: Twice sailing around the world (once competitively, once with his wife and their three children under ten), serving as CFO of a business sold to Private Equity, working as an Associate Director at KPMG, and building, scaling, and selling his own technology business.

These contrasting worlds of high-performance business and high-pressure adventure form the foundation of the teamwork insights he brings to organisations today.

High Performance Teamwork at a Glance

Caspar Craven brings together teamwork experience from three distinct worlds, beginning with the one that shaped his philosophy more than any other.

  • Extreme Teamwork
    Twice sailing around the world: once competitively, once with his wife and their three children under ten, Caspar learned how teams perform when pressure rises, conditions change fast, and success depends entirely on trust, communication, and shared responsibility.

  • Corporate Teamwork
    As CFO of a business sold to Private Equity and former Associate Director at KPMG, he led teams through complex strategy, shifting priorities and high-stakes decision-making across multiple functions.

  • Entrepreneurial Teamwork
    Caspar built and sold a technology company and worked closely with scale-ups where cross-functional collaboration, rapid learning loops and aligned communication are essential to survival and growth.

This unusual combination shapes the practical, human-centred resilience approach he brings to organisations today.

Caspar is also a bestselling Bloomsbury-published author and the author of The Big Bold Mindset®. He speaks regularly at global leadership and teamwork events for organisations including Johnson & Johnson, Intuit, ABB, and GSK.

Organisations bring Caspar in when they need their people to:

  • Collaborate better

  • Communicate more openly

  • Deliver ambitious results together, especially when the environment is fast-moving or uncertain
