Bryce Kenny

Bryce Kenny is a former C-suite executive recruiter turned professional Monster Jam driver, Guinness World Record setter, author, and high-energy keynote speaker who helps organizations win what’s next.

Through his signature G.E.A.R. Framework, Bryce challenges leaders and teams to stop relying on what used to work, shift into the next gear, and create momentum for the future. His keynote blends business insight, unforgettable stories from behind the wheel of a 12,000-pound Monster Jam truck, and practical leadership lessons on growth, engagement, acceleration, and understanding what is truly at stake.

Before competing in stadiums around the world, Bryce built a successful career in executive search as part of one of the top private equity portfolio search practices in the country, placing C-suite leaders with high-growth, private equity-backed companies and some of the most dynamic firms in the market. That background gives him a rare ability to connect the adrenaline of motorsports with the real-world challenges facing today’s leaders: change, pressure, decision-making, resilience, performance, and momentum.

As a professional Monster Jam driver, Bryce competes in an environment where split-second decisions, calculated risk, safety, and full commitment are part of the job. He brings those lessons to the stage through humor, high-impact stories, and practical takeaways that help leaders and teams challenge assumptions, build ownership, and move from conversation to action.

Bryce is the author of Geared for Life, which was selected as required reading for all incoming freshmen at the University of Northwestern Ohio as part of its student success curriculum. He is also the founder of a pediatric cancer nonprofit that crowdfunds specific needs for families walking through pediatric cancer, with 100% of donations going directly toward solving that family’s stated need, from a couch to a car.

A former Division I collegiate student-athlete and youth soccer coach, Bryce brings a message rooted in competition, purpose, service, and action. Whether speaking to executives, franchise owners, sales teams, associations, or frontline leaders, Bryce delivers an experience that is entertaining, emotional, and actionable. His message gives audiences the language, energy, and courage to move beyond comfort, commit to what matters, and find the gear required to win what’s next.
