Speaking & Keynotes
Where 20 Years of Fortune 500 Experience Meets the Stage

She has led programs inside Delta Air Lines, Voya Financial, and Herman Miller — and she speaks about what she has actually done, not what textbooks recommend. Her sessions are designed for leaders who are done with theory and ready for the kind of insight that only comes from having sat in the room where decisions get made.

Procurement, supply chain, and operations professionals
ESG, sustainability, and responsible sourcing teams
