Tripp Crosby is what happens when the class clown grows up and gets hired by McKinsey. Best known for the twice-viral short A Conference Call in Real Life, his work has been featured on The Tonight Show, in The New York Times, and on CNN, and shared by hundreds of millions. As co-founder of Very Very Video, he led campaigns for Zapier, Coca-Cola, Delta, GoDaddy, and Monday.com, including the Snowflake series that helped fuel the company’s record-breaking IPO. His career is proof that breakthrough ideas don’t come from artistic talent. They come from understanding how people actually think, collaborate, and work around constraints.
As a keynote speaker and improv comedian, Tripp helps leadership teams face change and uncertainty with confidence: acquisitions, expansions, new systems, AI, whatever’s next. His keynote Ready for Next mixes stand-up, improv, and a few practical tools for making space for the ideas that get a team through the unknown. Audiences laugh at workplace absurdity one minute, confront their own role in solving it the next, and leave with something they can use the next morning. Because creativity isn’t a personality trait. It’s a responsibility.
