David Cameron is a transformative figure in global politics – a visionary leader who has shaped international affairs, confronted the forces of populism, and promoted compassionate conservatism during times of unprecedented change. With over two decades at the forefront of global events, Lord Cameron offers unparalleled insights into the complexities of today’s world, making him an invaluable voice for organizations seeking to navigate the challenges of a rapidly evolving landscape.
As Prime Minister from 2010 to 2016, Lord Cameron led Britain’s first coalition government since World War II, steering the nation from the brink of economic disaster to becoming the fastest-growing major advanced economy in the world. Under his leadership, millions of jobs were created, education was transformed, and renewable energy became mainstream. He championed social progress by legalizing same-sex marriage and meeting the target of allocating 0.7% of national income on overseas aid, positioning Britain as a global leader in equality, international development, and environmental stewardship.
In an extraordinary return to frontline politics in 2023, Lord Cameron was called back to serve as the UK’s Foreign Secretary amid significant global upheaval, including the October 7th massacre in Israel and the ongoing Russian invasion of Ukraine. Demonstrating his unwavering commitment to global stability, he made 54 visits to 36 countries within nine months. He formulated the wording on a “sustainable ceasefire” in the conflict between Israel and Hamas and built global support for the stance, which was soon adopted by the US, Europe, and the UN. Collaborating with key figures across the political spectrum, he was instrumental in unlocking critical funds for Ukraine’s resistance against aggression.
Lord Cameron is one of the few international figures who has forged relationships with the key leaders of the 21st century – from Barack Obama and Angela Merkel; to Emmanuel Macron and Donald Trump; to Vladimir Putin and Xi Jinping. His decisive actions against extremist threats contributed significantly to global security, reinforcing his reputation as a leader capable of addressing the most pressing international challenges.
Beyond politics, Lord Cameron is deeply invested in advancing scientific and medical innovation. He serves as President of Alzheimer’s Research UK and chairs the Oxford-Harrington Rare Disease Centre’s Advisory Council, building on his initiation of the groundbreaking 100,000 Genomes Project. In addition to advising international businesses, he also contributes to global thought leadership as a member of the Council on Foreign Relations’ Global Board of Advisors, and as a Visiting Professor at NYU Abu Dhabi, where he teaches a course on Practising Politics in the Age of Populism.
At a time when the world is more dangerous, more volatile, more confrontational, than most of us have ever known, Lord Cameron draws from his extensive experience to help audiences navigate current geopolitical risks and global trends – informing as well as entertaining, with insights from inside the rooms where key decisions have been made over the past two decades.

David Cameron’s Speech Topics

Leadership in a Disruptive World
In an age when politics – and society at large – is becoming more polarized, and tribalism is taking on an increasingly aggressive tone, Lord Cameron, who took the highly unusual step in the UK of leading a coalition government, offers his unique insights on uniting people across the aisles. He shares his experience on leadership and what business can learn from his time at the top of British politics – from building an effective team and crafting and communicating a distinct mission; to making clear and decisive decisions and implementing them.

Where Did It All Go Wrong, and How Do We Put It Right? The Case for Optimism
When Lord Cameron was starting his career, it was assumed that autocracy had been toppled along with the Berlin Wall. But declarations of the “end of history” were premature. With democracy in decline and strongmen on the march, Lord Cameron gives his fresh take on how the West can get its mojo back and convince the next generation that freedom is the only path to prosperity.
-
Governing With a Harder Edge in a Tougher World
The world is more dangerous than at any point in recent history. From Afghanistan to the Arab Spring to Russia’s invasion of Ukraine and the Israel-Gaza conflict, Lord Cameron’s time at the top of British and global politics has been dominated by an increasingly uncertain world. As the leader of the first government to meet its targets to spend 2 per cent of national income on defense and 0.7 per cent on overseas aid, Lord Cameron sets out his stall on how best to govern with a harder edge in a tougher world.
-
Practicing Politics in the Age of Populism
Populism dominates elections and the airwaves, and continues to shape the future of global politics. Having seen the populist phenomenon up close, and taken on the arguments himself, Lord Cameron sets a roadmap for practicing politics in the age of disruption, arguing for a new approach to globalization, where moderation can be muscular and the center-right’s appeal can eclipse the extremes.
