Gordon Tredgold

CEO & Managing Consultant

Gordon Tredgold is a globally recognised leadership expert, keynote speaker, and trainer, and the creator of the FAST Leadership Framework (Focus, Accountability, Simplicity, Transparency).

He is ranked in the Global Gurus Top 10 Leadership Experts and Speakers, a Fellow of the Institute of Leadership, a two-time TEDx speaker, and the author of FAST - a Chartered Management Institute Management Book of the Year finalist. He was named Leadership Development Consultant of the Year 2025.

His second TEDx talk - “My Little Secrets for Your Big Success” - was delivered in French, his second language, and the first time he had ever presented to a French-speaking audience in French. Of the 12 speakers on the bill, 11 were native French speakers. Gordon was named by dozens of attendees as the easiest talk to understand.

The morning after the event, one of the other speakers walked up to him at breakfast and playfully slapped him. When he asked why, she said: “Because I woke up chanting - Vise haut, commence petit, célèbre, continue.” She'd retained all four takeaways overnight, in order, in her native language, the morning after a single talk delivered in his second language. The techniques he teaches in this session are the same ones that made that possible.

Gordon brings 30 years of Fortune 100 transformation experience, including senior roles at DHL, Henkel, Fujitsu, and Westrock. He has delivered keynotes and accredited leadership training programmes to audiences across the UK, Europe, the US, Africa, and the Middle East, and has worked with organisations including NASA, Barclays, Allianz, Wartsila, and GE Aeronautics.
