Speaking & Training
Speak with clarity. Inspire action. Leave impact.
Why work with me?
Whether I’m speaking on stage, leading a workshop, judging a pitch, recording a podcast, or joining a panel—I bring clarity, structure, and energy to every conversation. I speak from experience: as a Fractional COO, angel investor, founder, and ecosystem builder, I know what it’s like to scale something from the inside.
I don’t speak in buzzwords. I share real lessons, tools, and stories that leave people feeling inspired and equipped.

This work is personal
Angel investing isn’t just about returns. It’s about rewriting the rules—of access, power, and possibility.
It’s about building a future where the companies solving the world’s most urgent problems are founded, funded, and led by a far more diverse set of voices.
And it’s only just getting started.
What I bring beyond capital
Angel investing for me is never just transactional. Alongside funding, I offer:
- Operational guidance and systems thinking
Strategic feedback grounded in hands-on experience - A strong network of investors, founders, experts and mentors
- Long-term support—especially when the road gets tough
I focus on early-stage startups led by purpose-driven teams who are building with clarity, ambition, and impact in mind.
