Strategic Alignment Expert & Authority on Organisational Design

Headshot of Jonathan Trevor, strategy execution and organisational alignment keynote speaker, represented by 92 Speakers Bureau

Jonathan Trevor is a transformative strategy scholar and the definitive architect of enterprise alignment. As a Professor of Management Practice at Oxford Saïd Business School, he operates at the high-stakes intersection of organisational architecture and long-term purpose. Jonathan deconstructs the "execution gap," proving that performance is not a result of ambition, but the systematic synchronisation of business strategy with management systems. He assists global boards in navigating transformation fatigue, utilising his "Strategic Alignment Framework" to help leaders move beyond abstract planning toward a model of joined-up leadership. By reframing organisational capability as a commercial lever, he transforms cultural drift into a measurable driver of competitive differentiation and sustainable growth.

As a speaker, Jonathan is intellectually formidable and analytical, translating his research into a rigorous blueprint for institutional stewardship. He provides the strategic clarity required to ensure every level of an organisation is fit for purpose and engineered to win.
