Chris Dyer biography
Chris Dyer is one of the world’s leading authorities on company culture, and unusually, he built his expertise by running a company, not just studying one. As founder and CEO of the background-screening firm PeopleG2, he led a fully remote organization through two recessions and a pandemic, landing on the Inc. 5000 list of fastest-growing companies five times and earning “Best Place to Work” recognition fifteen times. He then reverse-engineered exactly what made it work into practical frameworks that leaders can actually use.
The corporate culture speaker Chris Dyer has been named Inc. Magazine’s number one Leadership Speaker on Culture and ranked among the Global Gurus’ top organizational-culture professionals. He is the creator of the “7 Pillars of Amazing Culture”, a science-based system built on transparency, positivity, measurement, acknowledgement, uniqueness, listening, and mistakes, that gives executive teams a shared, measurable vocabulary for culture rather than a wall of values posters. His message is grounded in operating evidence, not theory.
The 7 Pillars and the Moments That Matter
Dyer is the bestselling author of three books published by Kogan Page: The Power of Company Culture, Remote Work, and his newest, Moments That Matter, which argues that a small number of high-stakes interactions disproportionately shape retention, trust, and how people feel about where they work. A Forbes Business Council and Fast Company Executive Board member and host of the TalentTalk podcast, he has delivered more than 300 keynotes in over 20 countries for organizations including NASA, Johnson & Johnson, Intuit, IKEA, and Southwest Airlines, with audiences rating his talks 4.9 out of 5. His recent work also tackles how teams can thrive amid relentless change and the rise of AI.
As a speaker, Chris Dyer is candid, funny, and relentlessly practical, delivering research and real stories as playbooks audiences can use the very next day. He speaks on building a high-performing culture, the moments that matter most in leadership, thriving through relentless change and AI, and making remote and hybrid work actually work. Audiences leave with specific tools to boost engagement, retention, and performance, from a leader who has done it himself.

Chris Dyer Keynote Topics
Dyer's signature keynote turns culture from an art into a science. Drawing on years of research and his own experience running companies named a Best Place to Work fifteen times, he walks audiences through the seven specific, proven pillars that shape performance, transparency, positivity, measurement, acknowledgement, uniqueness, listening, and mistakes, and shows leaders how to assess their own organization, prioritize what to fix first, and drive measurable gains in engagement and results.
People remember less than one percent of what they experience, and that fraction shapes how they feel about their leaders and their work. Based on his latest book, Dyer gives leaders a practical system for recognizing the handful of high-stakes moments that carry disproportionate weight, onboarding, recognition, difficult conversations, transitions, and showing up fully when they arrive, so those moments strengthen culture rather than slip by.
As AI, hybrid models, and market volatility hit organizations at once, teams feel the pressure but often lack the tools to respond. In this energizing future-of-work keynote, Dyer offers a practical roadmap built on transparent communication, boundary-honoring collaboration, and the seven types of rest that sustain energy, giving audiences meeting hacks, email strategies, and boundary-setting techniques that prevent burnout while strengthening belonging.
Dyer led a fully remote company for well over a decade before most organizations had ever tried it. He shares hard-won, practical strategies for engaging distributed teams, redesigning meetings and communication, building trust across distance, and sustaining culture and productivity when people are not in the same room, cutting through the remote-work debate with what genuinely works.
