Founder of DevelopHer. Award-Winning Technologist. Global AI Leader.
I know what it feels like to have your career disrupted. After the financial crisis left me working for minimum wage, I reinvented myself. Within two years, my technology work was featured in Apple's iOS keynotes, and I was selected as one of 100 innovators worldwide invited to the UK G8 Innovation Conference.
Since then, I've spent nearly a decade as a Silicon Valley technology executive, building technology, leading engineering organizations, and driving innovation at a fintech unicorn.
Today, I serve as Global Chair of the United Nations EQUALS Leadership & Digital Skills Initiative and Senior Executive Fellow at The Digital Economist, working at the intersection of technology policy, AI governance, and responsible innovation. I've also been invited to speak at Davos, joining global leaders shaping conversations about the future.
I've worked with entrepreneurs, founders, Fortune 500 companies, and $100B+ global enterprises, sharing my expertise with organizations including Google, Microsoft, Dell, CrowdStrike, and the United Nations. My honors include the IEEE Meritorious Achievement Award and recognition at the Women in IT Awards Silicon Valley. My background combines engineering and business, with a Duke University triple major in Electrical Engineering, Computer Science, and Economics, graduating magna cum laude and Phi Beta Kappa.
I created DevelopHer to give women access to the expertise, influence, and opportunities I've spent my career building. Today, that means helping women entrepreneurs and executives harness AI, transform their businesses, and shape the future of technology.
You don't have to become an AI expert. You deserve access to one.
