Bio
From a young age, I have been passionate about joining forces with extraordinary people to tackle the challenges we face as Beings. After studying education, I realized that the traditional method of teaching—silent students sitting in rows—was not for me. This epiphany led me to Harvard, where I delved into many questions before starting to create technologies, spaces, and books designed to help people worldwide, both young and mature, learn in new, meainingful ways.
In 2008, I embarked on a ground-breaking mission: to transform gatherings into knowledge-sharing feasts. My technology company, Braindate, was designed to facilitate transformative conversations, enabling anyone, anywhere, to share knowledge and insights with their peers. Fifteen years and over 1 million participants from 100 countries later, Braindate has not just changed, but deeply enriched the lives of those who’ve engaged in these 500,000 (and counting!) meaningful exchanges. During that journey, I became a fierce advocate for women in leadership and technology.
I’m also the co-founder & president of the board of La Cabane, an innovative family space where children learn by creating the life they want to live.
