Bruce Daisley

Biography

Bruce Daisley is a business leader, author and expert on the future of work who spent eight years leading Twitter (before it became X) across Europe, Middle East and Africa, and four years as UK Managing Director of YouTube at Google. He has published two Sunday Times bestselling books, has created a globally popular podcast, and is one of the most influential voices in work, management and culture.

Drawing from his experiences running billion-dollar businesses and some of the world's fastest-moving companies, Bruce explores how to create positive, values-led organisations with robust cultures and well-balanced, healthy working life. His book The Joy of Work: 30 Ways to Fix Your Work Culture and Fall in Love with Your Job Again, was runner-up as CMI Management Book of the Year and was only outsold by Simon Sinek in its year of release. Whilst in Fortitude: Unlocking the Secrets of Inner Strength, Bruce seeks to dispell the myth that only extraordinary people are successful, and deconstructs ideas around resilience. The Financial Times described Fortitude as 'the best business book of the year'. Bruce's podcast Eat Sleep Work Repeat is in the top 0.1 per cent of podcasts globally and explores workplace culture every two weeks.

Bruce examines what underpins great teams, what motivates individuals and where things don't always go right. He challenges notions of productivity and addresses fundamental shifts in work from employee expectations  and culture in the age of hybrid and remote environments. He has written for The Guardian, the Financial Times, WIRED, the Telegraph and Harvard Business Review, and is a regular commentator on BBC Radio 4, BBC Five Live, LBC and Channel 4 News.
