“I highly recommend Kim Jones for your next speaking event!
I’ve worked with Kim since I launched ITC’s CIO Certification for Women program in 2018, where she serves as our expert speaker on gender equity and tech culture topics. With each cohort that goes through the program, Kim creates new and engaging sessions on subjects relevant to women aspiring to reach the CIO position.
The students (women in IT leadership) love Kim’s classes because of her relatability, the quality of her content, and her engaging speaking style.
Leveraging her own experiences as a former CIO and cultural anthropologist, she breaks down complex topics that impact their careers as women, and makes them understandable and actionable. The things the students learn from Kim have helped them further their leadership effectiveness and career aspirations in tech.
If you’re looking for a speaker to bring your audience relevant information on topics that affect women’s equity and leadership in the workplace, I highly recommend you talk to Kim!”
