Keynote Speaker. Senior Silicon Valley Engineering Leader. Award-Winning Founder.
I know disruption because I’ve lived it. Fourteen years ago, I was at rock bottom—outdated skills, no network, and no job prospects. In just two years, I completely retooled, rose to the top of my field, had my work featured in Apple iOS keynotes, and was invited as one of 100 top innovators worldwide to the UK G8 Innovation Conference.
Today, I’m a senior Silicon Valley engineering leader, the award-winning founder of DevelopHer, and an internationally recognized keynote speaker. I’ve led teams on the frontlines of disruption, and I’ve helped thousands of leaders and their organizations thrive under pressure, adopt new skills, and stay relevant in a fast-changing world.
My keynotes are powerful, actionable, and built on lived experience—not theory. I share the same strategies I used to transform my career, lead high-performing teams, and thrive through change—so leaders and their teams can future-proof themselves and thrive in disruption.
If you’re looking for a speaker who inspires action and equips your people with the tools to thrive in disruption, let’s talk.
