Whether that’s supporting an early stage startup as they build their team and product, or moderating a panel where audience members walk out the door with a different viewpoint than when they sat down. Being introduced to a new perspective can foster community and uplift one another.

I’m a passionate speaker and business consultant who helps you find purpose in your work, take action through unconventional conversations, and ultimately make an impact in the world.

    Unearthing incredible stories is my central focus as a speaker and panel moderator. It’s my goal to weave together the experiences of those on stage in order to uplift and inspire everyone in the room.

    Business Consulting

    I consult with Seed and Series A stage companies to help them build teams, forge strategic partnerships, and position their company for maximum impact. By leaning into my own experience as a minority female founder, I empower other businesses to elevate their people and their mission.

I am
Deepti Sharma

I’m a keynote speaker, activist, and a serial entrepreneur who believes that powerful storytelling can drive change in businesses, audiences, and communities. As an advisor, I work with companies to refine their missions and build concrete plans to translate that into their positioning and go-to-market strategy.

I’m open and honest with my own story so that others can see that they, too can have the successes and lives they want.

As a speaker and moderator, I elevate stories that often go untold: of the minority mom who’s forced to choose between her career and her kids; of the communities in our very own backyards that face hardships we can’t conceive of; of the founders who challenge the status quo and turn their ideas into companies that make an impact.

    Hear Me

    Conversations on women’s empowerment, motherhood, and representation aren’t talked about enough. Listen to podcast interviews where I share my views on these topics.

    See Me

    I see my “labels” as some of my greatest strengths. Read articles I wrote where I share my story to inspire you to believe in yours.

    Work with Me

    Looking for your next keynote speaker? Or want help connecting the dots in your business? Let’s work together!

“Deepti stands out to me as one of the more thoughtful and adept moderators that I have had the pleasure of working with.”

Her apparent care and confidence made the panelists comfortable, which allowed for surprising and fruitful connections that may not have been reached without her preparation and guidance. As a moderator you must be able to do your research, listen intently, and make new connections between panelists, information, and the audience, often on the fly; Deepti made this difficult job look easy.
