Keynote Speaker

Tech Founder, Startup Mentor, Growth Strategist

Most people talk about startup success, I’ve lived it.

I know what it’s like to bet everything on an idea. To work insanely hard, only to see a product struggle. To feel like you’re constantly pivoting, problem-solving, and trying to keep the damn thing afloat.

I also know what it’s like to turn things around—to take a failing business and rebuild it into something global. I scaled startups from the ground up, not because I had unlimited resources but because I figured it out step by step.

I don’t do motivational fluff. I don’t just talk about “believing in yourself.” I give you real strategies, the hard truths, and the playbook you need to make things happen.

My Journey: Business, Battles & Resilience

I’ve built, scaled, and revived multiple startups. But that’s not the only challenge I’ve faced.

While relaunching two struggling tech companies, I was diagnosed with breast cancer. There was no pause button, I kept leading, building, and growing my businesses, even during treatment. Because resilience isn’t something you just talk about, it’s something you live.

This experience shaped how I approach leadership, decision-making, and overcoming obstacles. It taught me that running a business is like fighting through life’s hardest challenges: you get up, adapt, and keep moving forward.

I’m here to equip founders, entrepreneurs, and business leaders with the real tools they need to grow and scale their companies.
