Don Packett stand-up comedian, author and Head of Perspective at strategy design and dissemination firm, Missing Link. On stage, Don’s specialty is bridging the gap between corporate content and entertainment.

 

Through working on organisational strategies for over a decade and building a comedy career since 2008, finding the sweet spot between both is where the magic happens.

 

The output? An MC and speaker with a wealth of deep-set knowledge and appreciation for the corporate beast, with enough perspective to provide educational and entertaining anecdotes, tales, metaphors, analogies and a healthy dose of recapitulation for good measure.

Don is on the South African professional speaking circuit, providing perspective at events like TEDx, Heavy Chef and NetProphet, as well as to institutions such as Absa, BMW, FNB, GIBS, Investec, Tiger Brands, Internet Solutions, Momentum and more.
