Kirk Vallis

He/him

Creativity and innovation expert​

Kirk helps leaders, teams and organisations use creativity to solve problems. At Google, he does this in two ways - by partnering on projects where the team recognises, they need to disrupt their thinking to develop new options, and also by training Googlers on the techniques and approaches that help us be even more creative on demand, when it's needed most. Kirk Built Google’s Magic Academy, a revered program to help make creativity as valued a part of Googlers’ toolkit as knowledge and technical based skills. Where time permits, Kirk acts as an advisor, mentor and public speaker. He partners with organisations non-conflicting to Google,  to help them develop creative capability at all levels in their organisations. He is also an ambassador for Moving Ahead, a social enterprise focussed on helping drive greater diversity, equity and inclusion in business all over the world. ​
