Public Speaking
Created 12 years ago in Skills & Management / Public Speaking

I've been an avid public speaker for the past 18 years. I began doing oratory, then debate, and over the past 9 years I've given a number of technical talks. Most recently, I've been invited to give keynotes to organizations, and teach workshops on entrepreneurship, engineering, and leadership across the country.

Fabulous call with Poornima. Very knowledgeable in marketplace and FinTech space. We were able to quickly get into detailed questions about optimizing our platform and go-to-market, and have come away with some valuable and actionable insights. Her passion and energy for what she does shines through and I'm looking forward to further calls. Can highly recommend.

Source: Clarity Mukta Goel May 16, 2013It's always humbling and inspiring to talk to people way smarter than you. GREAT insight from Poornima on tech challenges facing our startup... I'll be back in touch :)
Source: Clarity Mark Horoszowski Apr 25, 2013While my team and I were preparing the final stages of our software development for our group payment startup, we began to actively search for strategic Advisors for our Board. I had come across one of Poornima's blog posts on Women 2.0 and was immediately impressed with her message. After connecting a short time later, Poornima accepted our offer and jumped right in. She has been invaluable with helping to strategize on everything from recommendations to enhance our user experience to our SXSW plans to our beta launch. Our entire team has both enjoyed and benefited from Poornima's expertise, input and her thoughtful approach. We look forward to continuing to have her as an Advisor as our software and company continue to evolve.
