Business Speakers
Caspar Berry is a leading keynote speaker on the topics of Decision Making and Risk Taking.
He delivers speeches using the metaphor of poker to inspire audiences to make better decisions.
Caspar started his career as an actor. He’s probably best known for playing ‘Gill’ in BBC One’s Byker Grove.
After two years of acting, he read Economics at Cambridge University. He spent much of his time directing theatre such as the Cambridge Footlights and working with performers such as Olivia Colman, David Mitchell and Robert Webb.
Whilst still at university he had his first screenplay produced by Film Four.
By the time he was 23, Caspar was writing for Miramax and Columbia Tri Star – his film writing future looked good. However, aged 25, Caspar made a decision that would change his life forever… he moved to Vegas and became a professional poker player!
Caspar played poker professionally for the next 3 years, during which time he made a good living pitting his wits against the game’s best known players.
During this time he learned many of the key messages which he now imparts to businesses today.
Caspar also had the privilege of being a poker advisor on the Bond movie, Casino Royale.
In 2002, he returned to the UK and co-founded Twenty First Century Media – building it into the fastest growing AV media company in the North East before selling it to media giant – Ten Alps.
