Gail Davis, CO-HOST | FOUNDER AND PRESIDENT OF GDA SPEAKERS

Gail Davis is the Founder and President of one of the country’s premier keynote speakers bureaus, GDA Speakers. She makes CEOs, authors, educators, inventors, gurus and inspirational luminaries shine while at the helm of her namesake bureau, which began as Gail Davis & Associates. Beginning in 1999, Gail has created a full-service, client centric keynote speakers bureau known for its focus on the client. 

Before GDA Speakers, Gail spent decades in corporate marketing and events management at the global technology conglomerate Electronic Data Systems (EDS), which is now part of Hewlett Packard Enterprise. While at EDS, she discovered Nando Parrado, a heroic survivor of the 1972 Andes plane crash that took the lives of many rugby players. Parrado was the keynote speaker for the company’s marquee event.

Based on the success of those early corporate events, Parrado signed an exclusive agreement with Davis, as it was her efforts that convinced him to share his story after so many years. It was the partnership with Parrado that eventually anchored the creation of GDA.
