I help leaders and their teams thrive under pressure and turn disruption into performance. As a keynote speaker, best-selling author, and senior Silicon Valley engineering leader, I equip leaders with practical steps to stay relevant and guide their teams to adopt AI and build new skill sets with confidence.
Disruption today is constant, and AI has only raised the stakes. I lead from lived experience. My own career was disrupted, and I retooled multiple times, achieving huge transformation and results in a remarkably short period of time. I know what it takes because I’ve done it myself, and I’ve since equipped thousands of leaders and their teams to do the same.
I deliver high-energy, practical, and unapologetically real keynotes and advisory sessions that cut through complexity. I don’t just inspire. I equip. Leaders walk away with clear steps they can put into action immediately to perform under pressure and lead through disruption.
My work has been featured in Apple’s iOS keynotes, I was honored as one of 100 global innovators at the UK G8 Innovation Conference, and I serve on the United Nations EQUALS Leadership Council. I’ve spoken for companies like Google, Dell, and CrowdStrike, and advised leaders across industries on how to thrive in disruption.
My superpower is transforming pressure into performance, invisibility into advocacy, and untapped potential into unstoppable momentum. I’ve proven that consistency and ownership create lasting impact, even when disruption is constant.
