A graduate of the University of Alberta (B.Sc.) and York University (M.B.A.), Cohen has spent the last 25 years as a writer and producer on "The Simpsons," one of the most iconic TV shows of all time. Cohen's work on "The Simpsons" has earned him 4 Emmy Awards, 3 Writers Guild Awards, and countless laughs.

For the last 15 years, Cohen has been engaging, enlightening and entertaining audiences around the world as a speaker. His unique background of an M.B.A and 8 years of corporate experience mixed with his time as a “creative” allow him humorous and insightful perspectives on the creative process, group dynamics, and fostering a culture of innovation. Whether it's anecdotes from behind the scenes of "The Simpsons" or lessons learned from scratching lottery tickets (the lesson is – don’t buy lottery tickets), Cohen's talks are as entertaining as they are illuminating.

Joel Cohen's presentations resonate with a wide range of audiences, from creative professionals and corporate teams to students and fans of "The Simpsons." His engaging style, combined with his deep well of both corporate and creative experience, makes him the perfect fit for keynote speeches, panel discussions, and workshops.
