Keynote Speaker · Author · Fractional CFO
Survival is not our basic instinct. The expression of our divinity is.
Armand Kadima is a keynote speaker, author, and fractional CFO who has rebuilt a life from nothing more than once, through war, exile, loss, and the death of his wife three days after their second set of twins, his seventh and eighth children, were born. He speaks about what human beings are actually built for.

A selection of keynote footage will appear here.
