About René Boender
Some people call him a “Brand booster”. Others call him a “Brain agent”, or a “Creator”. But even more significantly, all of them call him “Visionary” René; Boender’s professional domain is the world. He has spread his magic seeds of wisdom and humour from Orlando to Perth, New York to Cape Town, Lisbon to Milan, Davos to Washington DC and Dubai to Willemstad.
His work as Trendteller has been just as diverse as his travel — involved in brands ranging from Sara-Lee to Philips, Apple to Albron, Luminex to Disney, Coca-Cola to ING and projects ranging from Dreamworks (film AND TV) to Amusement parks. And the exciting thing is — the word is getting out! René is very much in demand as a participant on (inter)national symposia and is a guest lecturer at universities! He is also one of the keynote ‘Drivers’ and ‘Participants’ of the prestigious ‘Ootlook’.
René Boender isn’t a fountain of ideas, he’s a veritable gusher. A guru who knows what it takes. He inspires many global captains of industry in one-on-one sessions and knows how strike just the right chord with (BtB) consumers. He keeps track of virtually everything, and believes everything stands or falls through the power of communication. As you share time with him, you will find that he not only explains what ‘Was’, but — even more importantly — what will B-B-B-B

"What Jamie Edwards delivers best is clarity. His training and insight provide elite athletes, managers, leaders and decision-makers with a mental tool-box that unlocks the door to clear-thinking, confidence and self-belief. I’ve been lucky enough to observe him working in close-quarters with all of the above and his methods are especially applicable and successful in high-pressure environments when another axis-shifting moment is only a second away."

"I want to say 'Thank You Thank You Thank you' so much for a 'cliff hanger' of a presentation at the Marriott on March 25. You received all 5 star ratings from the producers who filled in their evaluation forms. It was truly the most 'eggceptional' presentation ever given at any of our meetings. As an industry we will certainly try to implement many of your suggestions as we endeavour to sell more eggs more often. Thanks again."

Dear René, It was a big surprise to have you as a keynote performer.
Great to Cool is really written for performance. And engineered for success.
Unlike most management books, Great to Cool (and your keynote) sells you more than sleekly designed marketing
tricks. Great to Cools energizes a way of life and a way of being!
Professor A. Tsuroka
"Dear Mr. Boender, on behave off all the attendees at the innovation summit, we like to thank you for your energy and innovation insights.
It was beyond our expectations. We are honoured to tell you that you are the first keynote speaker ever who reached the ‘kaizen’ status. We hope that you are able to visit us next year again!"
Kenneth I. Chenault Chairman & Chief Executive Officer, American Express
"Dear René, your speech was outstanding and breathtaking. You gave a Dutch Treat in International Marketing and Innovation a complete new meaning. As you can understand we are spoiled with all the keynotes(from former US presidents, Tom and Seth, and all the TED stuff) that we have had over the last couple of years! But you made it. Only a few people scored in the way you did. Thanks for your IQ & EQ To The Next Level keynote."
David E. Karr, President Comfortaire Corporation
"I want to thank you for the time, energy and creativity that you shared with us!
I will admit that when my team said they had met a marketing “guru” and wanted to bring him to Greenville, I was not overly impressed. So, I was prepared for “another day of mediocrity” but as it turned out I was blessed with one of the best, most energizing days that I’ve ever experienced in business. You brought marketing alive in a way that I’ve not heard from others and I believe it is because you live it every day so that it is real, not a bunch of words. What was most impressive was that you brought an action plan for us to follow…not just a bunch of ideas. An action plan integrated into stimulating and actionable ideas was a gift for us. Your breadth of experience with high impact companies allows you to bring life to your presentation. I will honestly tell you that I look forward to working with you in the future .Thank you again for everything that you gave to us."

Dear René, wow, Sometimes opportunities come gift wrapped.
In the case of Great to Cool and your keynote, that was the case. You are so bulls eye, spot on.
We needed inspiration, intellectual stimulation and most off all fresh perspective to see everything in a new context.
Thanks you for your great attribution at this summit. I call it Appleism

"In the 9 years that I know and have heard René Boender’s stories about marketing, innovation and trends to the next level, we jumped to the conclusion that René has changed the keynote game forever. He makes it magic! His challenging style and inspired ideas make you fly. He continues to confirm the ’brain-agent’ title: the best keynote speaker for the 8th year in a row. Congratulations!"

"René Boender inspires and affirms you with his intelligence, authenticity, positive humour, depth and most of all compassion. He makes difficult issues easy to understand! And spreads his insights and energy to go for it."
Mike Ferrier, Managing Director/IUM Professor
"René Boender came to Monaco like Julius Caesar. Veni, Vidi, Vici. He came. He talked. He conquered. And all reactions were electric. Even Prince Albert’s!
René Boender was the key-note speaker at this year’s NGEF Conference organized annually by the University of Monaco. The NGEF invited famous entrepreneurs (Like Easy Jet Stelios, Philip Green etc) to encourage students from all over Europe to become entrepreneurs and learn from those who made it.
René was the opening thunderstorm that created the wave that allowed the media and us to claim this year's Forum as the best ever.
Students are used to listening to lectures and professors. They are hard to impress. René enthused, amused and bemused. The students and Monaco business angels had never seen anything like it.
At least 25% of the delegates e mailed him afterwards - a Forum record. René replied to them all and is actively helping at least six develop their ideas.
He sure knows how to work up a crowd and make it happen…."
