Chief Evangelist, Community Strategist, Co-Founder of Wednesday Women, Startup Advisor, Ex-Stay-At-Home Mom

I'm the Co-Founder of Wednesday Women and the Founder of Chief Evangelist Consulting: two ventures grounded in a core belief: community isn’t a tactic, it’s a force.

Wednesday Women began as a ripple in 2023 as a small, intentional effort to elevate executive women. We amplify women’s voices on LinkedIn, on stages, on podcasts, not as polished personas, but as their real, remarkable selves (the woman behind the title). Our public platform is for everyone, and we’ve built a private membership for executive women who want to go deeper with that mission and create connections both help unlock challenges but also are their biggest cheerleaders. 

Through Chief Evangelist Consulting, I help companies design community strategies that create lasting engagement. With 20+ years in customer-facing leadership roles, I approach community as a strategic lever, rooted in trust, value, and connection.

At the heart of everything I do is a belief in the power of evangelism, authenticity, and shared momentum.

And yes — I run on coffee, dark chocolate, trying (and failing) to keep me very vocal dog in check and talking loudly about diversity in tech.

Ambassador

Advocating for Pavilion’s mission of helping every leader and their team achieve their professional potential through community-powered learning. I will be supporting key initiatives, developing and teaching curriculum for Pavilion University and providing over 10,000 members with leadership advice. Join us at joinpavilion.com.

I’ve been seeing a trend….
more women walking away from corporate life to go fractional, consult, or build their own thing.

And I get it.
I did too.

At some point, I realized I’m “consciously unemployable”. 

That’s a choice. 

Not because I can’t play the corporate game (well actually if you know me, I can’t 🤣), but because I finally saw how much of it was built on rules that were never written for us. And I was done building others’ dreams.  

As Sarah Allen-Short wrote,  

“Liberal feminism didn’t ruin the workplace. It exposed it.”
(If you read the NYT article, you’ll get the reference.)

What we’re watching isn’t women giving up. It’s women waking up.

“Lean In” taught women to play the old game. This era’s about building a new one.

When you realize the system was never designed for you, you start creating something better.

(📸: Quote from Sarah’s Substack Work Doula — worth the read.)

Andrea 🤓 Lechner-Becker and Raja Walia arguing just made my morning!  

That’s all, that’s the post. 💜 

And yes, Erin Kasmarick is still the HubSpot wizard 🧙‍♀️! We 💜💜💜💜her.

AI can’t invent weird. It can’t really do different. This is still where humans have the competitive advantage 

Think about Apple’s “1984” ad.
Or, Coinbase’s random bouncing QR code.

No robot’s out here dreaming those up. 

Those ideas hit because they were so human. Unexpected. Odd.
The kind of weird that makes you stop scrolling and go, “Wait, what?”

That’s what AI can’t fake.

It can totally take your ideas and scale them. But if what you feed it is already kinda basic… it’s just going to spit out more basic.

What’s that mean for us humans? Creativity actually matters more now. Because AI’s like this giant volume knob. Whatever you give it, it just cranks it up.

Bottom line: The magic happens when a human is brave enough to think weird.

We unpack this (and a few more “AI vs. human creativity” hot takes) in the full episode.

Toxic Love

Toxic Love featured on QPTV was a program hosted by Precious L. Williams. It focused on domestic violence, with the purpose of creating educational content, and information in order to prevent abuse. 

Domestic violence is a key topic for me since it is also related to my personal message and need to empower others. My motivation to produce and host the show was also rooted in my own life experiences; my father was a domestic violence victim. For me, Toxic Love was an opportunity to use media to educate the audience on how to recognize abusive situations, understand why we generate dependency on others, and finally heal our self-esteem and vision of life.  

★ Key Initiatives & achievements:

➜ Performed in-depth research on domestic violence topics that facilitated speaking extemporaneously and provided immediate non-scripted analysis/commentary.
➜ Created and prepared communication strategy, including written content, visual images, audio material and video footage for social media platforms and show.
➜ Designed, developed, and hosted talk shows that addressed domestic violence education and prevention including “Unlikely Victims,” “Crippled and Crushed,” Financial Crimes,” and “Words Hurt Too.”
➜ Revealed upbeat personality, informative, entertaining, engaging, empathic; being able to relate to the audience.
➜ Partnered with the City of New York’s former Mayor Michael Bloomberg’s Office on Domestic Violence Prevention programs.

Their foundation is generating an opportunity so people have the opportunity to thrive in school and life. Its programs for the city of New York have been deployed since 1806, with an annual budget of $55.9 million.

At the Graham Windham organization, I had the opportunity to teach “The Girls Empowerment" course at a middle school in Harlem, New York. Main topics discussed were confidence, self-esteem, peer pressure, overcoming difficult life circumstances, haters, fierce female power and loving themselves from the inside out. This experience was highly rewarding, and gave me the inspiration to continue with my women empowerment passion.

Precious L. Williams "Killer Pitch Master"

Y’all. I hit the ground running at IMEX America this year and didn’t stop.

7 talks. One day. All packed.

I’m still catching my breath, but I loved every minute of it.
Vegas brought the energy, and I brought the pitch! 

From the moment I stepped off that escalator, I knew this was bigger than just one event. I was there to show up, stand tall, and let the room feel exactly what I bring to the table.

Shoutout to everyone who came through, took notes, asked questions, and stayed after to connect.

The Pitch Queen came to play, and I left with a very full heart and new friends.

What does #Audacity look like today?  

The Audacity to say the truth out loud!

Let me know if it hits you!

#pitchplease #KillerPitchMaster #keynotespeaker

When I step on stage, I’m not here to play; I’m here to shift the room.

I don’t give keynotes that fade into the background. 
I bring fire, strategy, and storytelling that sticks. 
And I bring the receipts to prove it.

From Shark Tank to BMW, Harvard to law firms across the country, I’ve shown leaders how to confidently pitch themselves and speak with a purpose.

If you want a speaker who brings personality and creates real, tangible results for you, I’m your woman. Your audience will walk away inspired and ready to act.

There’s speaking, and then there’s COMMANDING the room. 

Verizon brought me in to present, but instead, I shifted the energy, moved people, and woke the room up.

That’s what I do. That’s what we do at Perfect Pitch Group.

When leaders need real impact, expert delivery, and presentations that command their audience, they know to come to me.

From Fortune 500s to global podcasts. I'm not just a pitch master, I'm THE Pitch Queen. 

#theperfectpitch #bossladylife #authenticitymatters #speakingfromtheheart

You ever feel like you’ve got the vision, the vibe, and the voice, but your pitch still ain’t hitting?

Let me tell you something, it’s not about being louder. You need to be sharper, more precise, and more strategic.

That’s exactly why I created The Ultimate Pitch Bundle, part of my Pitch BOLD Profit GOLD experience. It's your go-to vault of tools, templates, and training to perfect the way you show up and show out.

Start pitching with power!
