A late bloomer with undiagnosed dyslexia, Piers rose from setbacks to become a global C-suite leader in finance, technology, and publishing—holding roles as MD, President, CEO, and Chairman across multiple continents. Today, he’s a sought-after executive coach, having worked with over 130 top executives, entrepreneurs, and future leaders.

Piers combines real-world leadership experience, applied neuroscience, and an anti-establishment approach that challenges traditional leadership norms. His insights on authenticity, executive presence, and leading through uncertainty make him one of the most unique voices in leadership coaching today.

In this episode of the No Limits Selling Podcast, Umar Hameed and Piers dive into:

  • How late bloomers can achieve extraordinary leadership success.

  • Staying relevant in the age of AI and rapid change.

  • The paradox of leadership in complex, uncertain environments.

  • Why authenticity beats authority in building influence.

  • Lessons from his book Are You Still The Future?, a Business Book of the Year finalist.

Piers’s story is proof that leadership isn’t about fitting in—it’s about knowing yourself, breaking the rules, and leading with authenticity.
