Caspar Berry

Caspar Berry possesses a unique background that combines academic rigour with high-stakes practical experience. After studying Economics and Anthropology at Cambridge University and establishing a successful career as a screenwriter, he moved to Las Vegas at the age of twenty-five to become a professional poker player. This transition sparked a lifelong fascination with how humans perceive uncertainty and the mechanics of making choices under pressure. Now a retired player, Caspar translates the sophisticated principles of the poker table into the language of corporate strategy and business innovation. He proposes that risk is the foundational element that transforms standard management into effective leadership. Rather than advocating for risk avoidance, particularly in the wake of global financial shifts, he focuses on improving the quality of decision-making by helping individuals understand the nuances of probability and intuition. Through an engaging approach that often incorporates workshops and interactive games, Caspar provides audiences with the cognitive tools required to navigate modern business challenges. He is frequently booked for his ability to simplify complex behavioural concepts, making him a compelling choice for organisations looking to foster a more courageous and informed culture around risk. On stage, Caspar Berry is best known for talks on Risk Management, Decision Making and Business Innovation. Audiences leave with a clear, practical view of the subject rather than a generic overview — every keynote is shaped around the brief and the room. Their work resonates with leaders across Business & Consulting, Education and Finance & Economics, where the themes translate directly into team decisions, customer experience and growth strategy. Caspar Berry is regularly booked for Business Speaker and Performers and Entertainer, adapting tone, length and format to suit the event — from a 20-minute opener to a full conference keynote with Q&A. Based in UK, Caspar Berry travels internationally for engagements.
