Keynote Speaker · Author · Organizational Consultant
Chronic illness. AI in healthcare. The performance people pay to belong. I work with organizations ready to ask the questions that actually change things.
"I spent seven years bedridden. The medical system didn't know what to do with me —
so it did what systems do with things they can't categorize:
it made me invisible.
That's not my backstory. That's my qualification."
When AI inherits our assumptions, it doesn't fix our blind spots — it accelerates them. A talk about bias, data, and what happens when the machine learns from a broken system.
Every person who hides who they are to survive your culture is paying a tax. The organization pays it too — in cognitive load, in sick days, in silence. This is what it actually costs.
What constraint teaches you that abundance never can. A talk about building meaningful work — not despite limitation, but through it. Seen in 40+ countries. Featured at TEDxMedUniGraz.

I spent a decade being failed by medicine. Dismissed, misdiagnosed, made invisible by a system that didn't have a category for what I was. Then I became the person who goes back into those systems and names what they're missing.
I've spoken in 27 countries — to hospital boards, pharmaceutical companies, AI ethics committees, DEI leadership teams, and conference audiences who came expecting inspiration and left with a diagnostic tool they didn't know they needed.
I'm not a survivor who became a motivational speaker. I'm an organizational consultant who happens to be the evidence. When I walk into a room, I bring the patient experience that never made it into the data, the employee whose illness never showed up on any HR report, the human the algorithm couldn't categorize.
I founded the Israeli Society for Dysautonomia and The Patient School, served as the world's first Patient in Residence at the Ludwig Boltzmann Institute in Vienna, co-founded the Israeli TEDx movement, and have trained over 20,000 healthcare professionals globally. I hold an MA in International Health & Social Management and teach patient communications at IMC Krems.
I live in Vienna with my partner Theresa and our daughter, for whom I am writing the most honest book I'll ever write.
Co-created with illustrator Nadine Wiese. The hidden architecture of the human body — beautifully visualized, finally explained. For anyone whose pain didn't fit the standard map.

Built for people who were never trained to speak in public but suddenly have to. A practical, no-nonsense framework for clinicians, researchers, and experts who have something important to say and need to say it well.
Get the book → Take the masterclass →Roi doesn't just speak to a room — he changes what the room is capable of saying. Our team left with language for things we had been circling for years.
I have sat through hundreds of keynotes on inclusion. This was the first one that gave us a diagnostic — not a sermon. We implemented changes the following month.
The most intellectually honest speaker I have encountered on AI in healthcare. He understands both the clinical reality and the human cost — simultaneously.
I work with healthcare organizations, corporations navigating DEI infrastructure, leadership teams, and conference audiences who are ready to stop circling and start naming. Available for single engagements and ongoing advisory relationships.
