Speaking

I speak on the work I do — institutional IT, leadership, transformation, and the work behind both.

Topics I Speak On

  • Why high-performing women are withdrawing from work — and what institutions lose when they do.
  • Vendor sprawl is killing higher-ed IT — and the assessment that fixes it.
  • The fractional CIO model that actually works for under-resourced institutions.
  • Beyond Hidden Figures: what we still don't know about Black women in computing.
  • Closing the gap between vision and outcome: what Transformidable leadership actually looks like.
  • Governing AI in the institution: a practitioner's playbook for boards and presidents.
