Turning Ideas into Impact — From MumHacks.ai GPT to Enterprise Growth | UT Austin Women Who Mean Business ‘25
11 yrs experience · <10 hrs/week
About
I believe the most impactful leaders combine strategy, empathy, and relentless execution. I’ve spent over a decade in SaaS and enterprise tech driving multimillion-dollar growth, building lasting client partnerships, and leading teams through complex change. My curiosity has always been my career’s engine, and it’s what led me to create MumHacks.ai, a custom GPT helping mums find AI-powered solutions for everyday challenges, and what keeps me exploring new ways to solve business problems before they even show up. This fall, I’m joining the 2025 Women Who Mean Business program at UT Austin - a selective leadership cohort for women executives ready to amplify influence, accelerate decision-making, and lead with impact. I’m here to sharpen my strategic lens, expand my network with powerhouse peers, and bring back insights that create measurable value for clients and teams. Beyond quotas and contracts, my passion lies in building! Whether that’s expanding into new markets, creating tools that make life easier, or turning vision into reality.
