Speaking, podcasts and portfolio work

Invite me in.

Talks, panels, podcasts and workshops on building a sales engine you can trust: what to automate, what to keep human. Practical, honest about what fails, and built on real numbers.

Topics

What I talk about.

AI and sales

A sales engine you can trust

AI buys the time, your people earn the trust. What to automate, what to keep human, and why most AI sales projects scale the wrong thing.

New markets

Launching where you're unknown

Taking a product into a new country or segment: finding the first customers, the right partners and a motion that travels.

Building teams

From founder-led to a sales engine

When the founder is in every deal: the hires, the process and the numbers that let a team sell without them.

Formats

How we can work together.

Talks and keynotes20 to 45 minutes, for founder, sales and investor audiences, in person in Berlin and London or remote
Panels and fireside chatsOn go-to-market, AI in sales, pricing and launching into new markets

Speaker bio

For your programme.

Harry James Coburn is a Berlin-based sales and go-to-market adviser for CEOs of VC-backed tech companies, Series A to C. He has led sales at UXCam, Arbonics, Wheely and Pronto, companies backed by Headline, Plural, Concentric, Seedcamp and Playfair, and trained at IBM, Credit Suisse and Lloyds Banking Group. His work centres on one idea: a sales engine you can trust. Find the formula that wins, turn it into a process that scales, and put AI on the repetitive work so people have more time to earn the buyer's trust.
