Global communications specialist, author of Unmuted.
Thinkers50 Radar Class of 2024.
Intrigued by the intersection of language, culture, and identity, Heather studies how these factors impact our relationships and success in global teams. She helps executives and leaders show up, speak up, and inspire action in a changing world. Heather is on a mission to empower global voices to contribute to conversations that matter in business, politics, and life. Only through conscious, confident, and connected communication, she argues, can we achieve our collective potential and peacefully solve the world’s greatest challenges. Heather speaks up against micro-inequities related to language and accent in international teams, and helps companies build a culture of communication where every voice is heard.
