The origin story. A seven-figure IT services startup founded long before "founder" was a personal brand. This is where the builder instinct started.

About

25+ years building businesses. All-in on AI before it was a panel topic.

Olivia has spent more than 25 years building businesses and leading marketing across industries, with deep roots in tech, alongside small and medium-sized businesses and startups along the way. Right now, she's building the go-to-market strategy for a global B2B company, implementing AI solutions to increase efficiency across the function.

What sets her apart isn't a hot take on AI. It's that she builds with it. Audiences leave her talks with things they can do Monday morning, because everything she teaches came from something she shipped.

Keynote / Workshop

Building a Marketing Function From Zero
