Tim Washer worked at IBM, Cisco and Accenture for 20 years, largely pretending to be interested on conference calls. He established himself as a Subject Matter Expert in nonsense while moonlighting as a comedy writer/actor on SNL, Conan and The Late Show, and he used humor to humanize some of the world's most boring corporations. He utilizes comedy to help organizations catch attention, demonstrate empathy, create relationships and make a compelling argument with B2B technology audiences on issues like the Internet of Things and mainframe computers, where the comedy writes itself.
Tim has brought comedy to corporate meetings in the most conservative nations, including Saudi Arabia and IBM, as an event emcee. He hosted events with Emmy-winner Tony Hale (VEEP, Arrested Development) and emceed the Oscar Short Film Awards, which included Pixar CEO John Lasseter and Melissa Leo, Desmond Tutu, Nobel Peace Prize recipient and President George W. Bush.
Tim uses humor, satire and parody to mock harmful behavior such as the use of the phrase "leveraging." Laughter promotes recall, emphasizes crucial themes and prepares people to embrace change.
Tim studied improv with Amy Poehler, comic writing with Tom Purcell and has been on the Onion Sports Network, HBO's Last Week Tonight with John Oliver and a T-Mobile ad starring Catherine Zeta-Jones.
Tim has created and performed unique PowerPoint comedy for Deloitte, CDC, Google and The White House. His award-winning corporate work has appeared in The New York Times, The Wall Street Journal, Ad Age, ADWEEK and Fast Company. He has spoken at SXSW, Harvard Business School and the Forrester CMO Council. Tim has an MBA from UT Austin's McCombs School of Business, where he majored in PowerPoint..
