I help nonprofits and purpose-driven organizations reduce friction in how they grow.

As Founder & CEO of Lake One, I lead a team of Digital Outfitters helping nonprofits, B Corps, and purpose-led businesses build sustainable growth systems built on HubSpot. Our work sits at the intersection of strategy, technology, and stewardship, connecting marketing, sales, and support so organizations can serve people better, not just scale faster.

Since 2014, I’ve partnered with founders and operators across nonprofit, healthcare, manufacturing, and technology, guiding them through the real work of digital transformation: aligning people, process, and platforms around a clear point of view.

My career began behind a microphone, as a DJ and later a reporter, where I learned how clarity and storytelling create trust. That experience still shapes how I lead today: designing systems that support humans, reduce friction, and enable better decisions over time.

I’m also a childhood cancer survivor and advocate. That experience deeply shaped how I think about stewardship, resilience, and the long view, and why I care so much about building systems that support people when things get hard, not just when they’re growing.

Outside of Lake One, you’ll usually find me rewilding my Minnesota yard, exploring trails, or supporting conservation and community efforts, reminders that growth only matters when it’s grounded in purpose.

Driving B2C revenue & growth 💰 📈 | Keynote Speaker | Empowering Women in AI

I’m a visionary leader shaping the future of artificial intelligence (AI) through inclusion, innovation, and impact.

As the co-founder of Women x AI, I focus on amplifying underrepresented voices, opening networks, and accelerating their success. In 2024, I helped hand the mic to over 130 AI leaders and championed initiatives ensuring AI is built by teams as diverse as the world it serves.

I serve on the board of How Women Lead, Silicon Valley, and actively invest in women-founded startups to drive systemic change in the tech ecosystem.

My contributions have been recognized with awards such as AI Thought Leader at Signals’ AI Revenue Summit (2024) and as a finalist for Women in AI DEI Champion of the Year (2025). These honors underscore my commitment to ensuring that everyone has a seat at the table as we shape the next era of computing.

Beyond advocacy, I bring decades of expertise as a Fractional Chief Marketing Officer (CMO) for early-stage startups, specializing in founder-led branding and B2C go-to-market strategies that drive growth. My work empowers founders to transform bold ideas into impactful brands that resonate with audiences worldwide.

As a keynote speaker and facilitator, I focus on topics like digital transformation, AI innovation, and creating an inclusive future in tech. Whether leading workshops or speaking at industry events, I inspire organizations to embrace technology’s transformative potential while keeping the human experience at its core.

If I’m not the right fit for your AI speaking engagement, I can connect you with an exceptional female leader in AI who is. 

Let’s work together to shape a future where technology reflects all of us.
