Andrew Giuliani brings a rare, insider’s perspective from the highest levels of American government to every stage he steps onto. Appointed by President Trump in 2025 as Executive Director of the White House Task Force on the FIFA World Cup 2026, Andrew led the federal effort behind the largest sporting event in history. Under his leadership, the White House Task Force built an interagency framework that modernized transportation, tourism, security and visa processes, and he secured more than $1 billion in federal funding to protect the country.
Earlier in his career, he spent four years in the White House, rising from Associate Director of the Office of Public Liaison to Special Assistant to the President, where he connected business leaders, advocacy groups and communities directly with the administration. A former candidate for Governor of the State of New York and host of his own WABC Radio program, Andrew is a seasoned communicator who knows how to hold a room. Today, as Founder and Executive Director of Golden Goal Strategies, LLC, he advises multinational corporations and boards on some of the world’s most complex challenges. Audiences leave his talks with firsthand stories, sharp insight into how power and policy really work, and a clear-eyed view of leadership under pressure.

Zero-Fail: Lessons from Hosting the World’s Largest Sporting Event
When the world arrived in America for the 2026 FIFA World Cup, Andrew Giuliani was the person charged with making sure the United States was ready. In this keynote, he tells the inside story of how that happened. From his first conversation with President Trump to the final match in NY/NJ, audiences will hear how he built a team and a federal structure from scratch. He developed an interagency coordination framework to align the entire federal government, while serving as the hub connecting host cities, local and state governments and a wide array of private businesses and international stakeholders. The outcome speaks for itself: nearly 7 million people attended matches, surpassing the 1994 edition to set a new World Cup attendance record, and the tournament reportedly generated a record $15 billion in revenue, with stadium occupancy reaching 99.7% and fans from 210 countries and territories attending the group stage alone. With America looking ahead to the 2028 Summer Olympics, the 2034 Winter Olympics in Salt Lake City and potentially the 2031 Women’s World Cup, Giuliani offers a practical playbook for any leader who must unite competing stakeholders, move fast and deliver under the brightest spotlight on earth.
From the Frontline to the Oval Office: Connecting Ground Reality to Presidential Strategy for National Security
Andrew Giuliani offers a rare inside look at how frontline intelligence becomes presidential strategy during a tournament he called “78 Super Bowls over 39 days.” He shares how over $500 million was secured for C-UAS and how he championed the Safer Skies Act, resulting in more than 700 unauthorized drones seized; how he deconflicted an unprecedented multiagency operation; and how the FIFA PASS system welcomed fans while keeping thorough security vetting in place. He also details how federal, state, local and private-sector partners prepared together for cyberterrorism threats. Above all, Giuliani brings a rare combination of pragmatism and field focus, grounded in what officers, operators and host cities actually need on the ground, paired with a clear grasp of the strategic landscape that shapes decisions at the highest levels of government.
Game Time for America: Where We Stand and Where We’re Headed
Few speakers have seen the country from as many angles as Andrew Giuliani. Drawing on years inside politics, media and government, he gives audiences his take on where the political landscape is heading and what it means for leaders trying to plan ahead. He then turns to one of the defining questions of the decade: how the race to build data centers and lead in artificial intelligence is colliding with America’s energy needs, and what that means for infrastructure, investment and competitiveness. From there, he looks at the future of sports, with the U.S. set to host the 2028 Summer Olympics, potentially the 2031 Women’s World Cup, and the 2034 Winter Olympics in Salt Lake City, and why mega-events have become a stage for economic growth and national prestige. Rounding it out with practical business insights drawn from working hand in hand with the private sector at the highest levels, Giuliani leaves audiences with a clear-eyed, energizing view of America’s moment and how to seize it.
