Speaker Bio: "As a tech leader and cancer survivor, I understand the importance of time—and how
to use it wisely. I help professionals and leaders cut through the noise, focus on
priorities, and build habits that create lasting impact. With Time Bandit, I combine
proven priority management strategies with habit formation to help you work smarter,
not harder. I’ve coached businesses to improve productivity and unlock potential,
whether through smarter planning or AI-powered insights for larger operations teams
to unlock true potential and symmetry of resources (onshore, offshore or automations).
My journey shaped my approach, and I’m passionate about helping others make the most
of every minute."
