Hyped up on coffee (with cream of course!) and hopping around the globe, Monica navigated the ever-changing and uber-challenging business landscape 24/7.
Over her more than three-decades-long tenure, Monica was a transformational leader managing everything from crisis and reputation management to sustainability, innovation, strategy and employee leadership development. Her ability to challenge the status quo and ask better questions helped transform the organization and industry.

Inspire risk-taking, foster creativity and spark fearless conversations.
In her signature keynote, Monica proves that in today’s rapidly-changing world, the companies that thrive are the ones actively challenging the status quo — always encouraging their employees to abandon conventional thinking and experiment with new ideas. Through bold insights and real-world examples, Monica demonstrates how creating a challenge culture sparks innovation, drives growth, and opens doors to new opportunities. Using her tried and true Challenge Blueprint, she’ll teaches how to inspire risk-taking, foster creativity, and spark fearless conversations—all without losing focus. With humor, real-world strategies, and zero fluff, Monica will get your team to rethink what’s possible and move from stuck to unstuck. This isn’t about disruption for the sake of disruption. It’s about smartly securing a successful future.
In addition to her innovation and culture thought leadership, Monica is also a sought after women’s empowerment speaker. The only female in the C-suite of a $20-bil-dollar global org, Monica knows what it takes to not only survive, but thrive in a male-dominated industry. In this electrifying talk, she challenges women to stop waiting for permission to take a seat at the table and instead build their own. She’ll reveal the tactics to help women assert themselves, negotiate like a boss, and unapologetically claim their value. No more asking for a chance—this is about seizing your power, smashing the glass ceiling, and turning your biggest dreams into a reality.
