In an age of disruption, the best speakers don’t just inform—they inspire action. As a speaker, I help audiences decode the forces reshaping work, leadership, and learning—bringing clarity, candor, and research-backed insight to every stage I step onto.

With 20+ years of experience in executive leadership and consulting, a doctorate in Organizational Leadership and Learning from the University of Pennsylvania, and advanced executive credentials from Wharton and Georgetown, I speak to what leaders, educators, and changemakers are really facing today.

Whether I’m delivering a keynote on emotionally intelligent leadership, moderating a panel on the future of workforce development, or facilitating an executive session on AI-enabled transformation, I create high-impact experiences that meet the moment and move people forward.
