Felipe Gomez Biography
We call a supremely talented person in the arts and sports a virtuoso. Keynote pianist Felipe Gomez believes the term also applies to business. Gomez has an impressive decades-long business history as an entrepreneur and senior executive in multinational firms, but his passion has always been music. Obsessed with learning the habits of virtuoso musicians, Gomez believes applying the virtuoso mindset is the key to achieving breakthrough success in business and life. In 2014, Gomez combined his business experience with his passion for music and began his speaking career full-time. He has gained worldwide recognition, inspiring audiences on five continents and in 33 countries with his dazzling musical interpretation of the traits that define a virtuoso. Charismatically commanding the audience from his grand piano, Gomez’s presentations are fun, interactive, and deliver great content in both English and Spanish. The author of two books on exceptional performance, Gomez uses his music and business insights to help unleash the individual and collective virtuosity in organizations.
Born in Colombia, Gomez began playing piano at the age of four. He came from a musical family – there was always music in the house. After graduating Universidad de Los Andes in Bogota, Gomez pursued a career in business, becoming known for his strategic vision and ability to innovate across diverse industries.
At Compass Group, the world's largest food-catering company, Gomez served as the Managing Director for the operation in Colombia. There he led initiatives that not only tripled the division’s revenue but also increased operating profits by 130% through keen strategic acquisitions and a focus on operational improvements and innovation. He later served as the Innovation and International Business Development Director for Latin America.
Gomez led the launch of Farmacity in Colombia, establishing it rapidly as a dominant force in the pharmacy retail sector by opening 12 stores in just 20 months and positioning the brand as a leader in the market. He co-founded Azurian, a pioneering internet consulting firm in Latin America, guiding its expansion into seven countries and driving its rise as a significant regional consultancy firm. Beyond his corporate success, Gomez founded Allegro, a non-profit organization that brings therapeutic live music to hospital settings like ICUs, delivery rooms, and cancer treatment areas.
Combining his corporate and entrepreneurial experience with his passion for music is Gomez’s greatest joy. He has a gift for empowering individuals and organizations to transform their behaviors, embrace risk, learn from failure, and achieve mastery. Gomez has spoken at prestigious management and leadership conferences around the world, including TED, the Global Peter Drucker Forum, WOBI, the Oslo Business Forum, the World Business Forum, and many more. He has appeared at over 1,000 presentations for corporate, association, and global leadership events and consistently delivers unforgettable experiences that leave a lasting impact.
Gomez’s first book, published in 2019, is "Attitude-E," a bestseller that introduces a powerful framework for success through an entrepreneurial mindset, anchored in six levers: Envision, Energy, Endurance, Ensemble, Elasticity, and Engagement. His second book, "Bitacora De Una Pandemia En Quince Conversaciones," was published in Spanish in 2020 and is a collection of conversations he had during the pandemic with a number of thought leaders in different fields. Gomez is now writing his third book, "Virtuoso."
Gomez currently lives in Atlanta, Georgia, with his family and holds an MBA from the International Institute for Management Development (IMD) in Switzerland, where he also completed a program on Leading Digital Business Transformation.
