Best Story
Storytelling is an essential component of both knowledge sharing and creating an emotional connection. It has endured centuries and countless educational revolutions because there is nothing quite like hearing someone with both knowledgeable and lived experience. Stories shape the world around us. Beyond gender equality, I have given talks on design, creativity, AI and even running my own business. As experience as an entrepreneur as well as in the Fortune 500 and non-profit world, I believe the best speakers are good storytellers. Storytelling is a strategic business tool and I have used it to make complex topics and technologies consumable, and use this method to influence, teach and inspire.
Origin Story
I grew up in a small coal mining town in Central Pennsylvania. As a self-made person, I founded my own company in 2007 and currently lead a global offering, Reinventing Work for Capgemini.
