Workshops & Keynotes

The best workshops don’t just inspire. They equip your team to act differently.

I work with leadership teams and product organizations to identify the patterns keeping them stuck, develop new approaches to familiar challenges, and provide frameworks they can implement immediately.

Keynotes

I’ve built the technology, built the company, led inside a $10B organization, and made the hard calls when there wasn’t an obvious playbook.

My keynotes bring those experiences to the stage with practical frameworks that challenge how leaders think and give them something they can use when they get back to work.

Why Smart Teams Stay Stuck (And How to Break Free)

Explores the invisible patterns that prevent capable teams from progressing forward.

From Feature Factory to Breakthrough Leadership

How teams optimize for the wrong things, and how to shift focus from shipping faster to shipping what matters.

Before the Market Exists

Product strategy for emerging markets: how to recognize an opportunity, build for an unproven market, and shape the category as it develops.

Leading When the Playbook Doesn't Exist

Decision-making during uncertainty and uncharted transformation.

Breaking Through: What It Really Takes for Women in Tech

Real barriers and practical strategies for women in technology careers.

Workshops

I don’t come in with a deck and leave your team with a list of ideas.

I work with your team on the real challenges they’re facing, helping them see what’s keeping them stuck and build a practical path forward.
