Her powerful keynote "Building Your Empire" pulls entrepreneurs, change-makers, and innovators out of the myth of the hustle and equips them to scale using her custom toolkit the Three Pillars of Business Scaling™. She is an author, anthropologist, and entrepreneur whose most notable business, the award-winning tech company GreenCup Digital, scaled over the course of her tenure and sold in 2018.
