Frances Frei and Anne Morriss biography
Frances Frei and Anne Morriss are one of the most compelling double acts in modern leadership: a married pair of thinkers who have turned more than a decade of solving companies’ hardest problems into a shared body of work that is read, watched, and applied around the world. Together they are best-selling authors, hit podcast hosts, and trusted advisors to leaders navigating growth, crisis, and change.
Leadership speakers Frances Frei and Anne Morriss make a rare combination. Frei is a Professor of Technology and Operations Management at Harvard Business School, known worldwide for her viral TED talk on trust and for serving as Uber’s first Senior Vice President of Leadership and Strategy during its most turbulent chapter. Morriss is an entrepreneur and leadership coach, Executive Founder of The Leadership Consortium, whose own TED talk reframed “move fast and break things” into a practical playbook for fixing them. As the two describe it, Frei takes the front of the big room while Morriss does the intimate, one-to-one work, and together they cover the full range of how change actually happens.
Move Fast and Fix Things
Over more than a decade advising fast-moving organizations, from Silicon Valley startups to Fortune 10 giants to public-sector leaders, the two developed the ideas behind three influential books: Uncommon Service, Unleashed, and Move Fast & Fix Things. Their central, hopeful argument is that the trade-off between moving quickly and taking care of people is false, and that trust is what lets organizations do both at once. They also co-host Fixable, the TED Audio Collective podcast on which they help real callers untangle workplace problems in a single session.
As speakers, Frances Frei and Anne Morriss can take the stage together in ways neither can alone: a two-voice keynote, a candid fireside on trust and change, or a live, unscripted session in which they diagnose and solve a real problem from the audience in real time. They speak on building trust, leading change with urgency, and creating organizations where everyone can thrive, and they leave audiences with both a memorable experience and a concrete playbook they can put to work the next day.

Frances Frei and Anne Morriss Keynote Topics
The duo takes the stage together for a dynamic, two-voice conversation on trust, leadership, and change, moving fluidly between Frei's big-picture frameworks and Morriss's on-the-ground coaching. Warm, funny, and candid, it's a format that showcases the chemistry and complementary strengths that make their partnership greater than the sum of its parts.
In their most distinctive format, Frei and Morriss do live what they do on their hit podcast: take a genuine, unscripted challenge from the room and work it in real time. Audiences watch two master problem-solvers diagnose the real issue, surface hard truths, and build a path forward, learning a repeatable method they can apply to their own toughest problems.
Drawing on their book, the pair dismantle the belief that speed and doing right by people are at odds. Between them they lay out the essential steps leaders can take to solve hard problems with urgency while making employees, customers, and shareholders better off, replacing "move fast and break things" with something far more powerful.
Frei brings her renowned framework for building and rebuilding trust; Morriss brings her urgent, practical approach to leading change. Together they show how the two fit into a single playbook for organizations facing growth, crisis, or transformation, giving leaders both the why and the how of moving fast without breaking what matters.
