Angela brings a no-BS, real-world approach shaped by lived experience and executive leadership in high-stakes environments. From surviving a kidnapping to leading teams through uncertainty, she teaches resilience that actually shows up when it matters: on the hard days, in the critical moments, and under real pressure.
- Stay steady when the pressure spikes
- Lead with clarity when there are no clear answers
- Build teams that don’t fracture under stress, but adapt, execute, and move forward
- Replace surface-level “mindset” advice with practical tools that hold up in real leadership environment

- Why high performers burn out faster & how to stop it
- Overcoming imposter syndrome
- How to recalibrate and thrive after set backs

Community Engagement Manager at Chief
Our recent workshop on Visual Storytelling Strategies for Women Leaders was nothing short of transformative. Led by Angela and her incredible team, the session provided invaluable insights into building compelling brand narratives, planning production budgets, and aligning video content with business goals.
Through expert-led sessions and dynamic breakout groups, members gained practical skills and had the opportunity to put their learnings into action. One of the most engaging parts of the workshop was a hands-on activity where participants crafted exciting pitches and received real-time feedback from a panel of industry experts.
Angela’s team was engaging, insightful, and deeply experienced, leaving a lasting impact on everyone in the room. The AGN Group is truly badass, and I can’t wait for the next opportunity to collaborate.

Angela moderated our event, Kickoff Joachim Herz Entrepreneurship Program + Transatlantic Innovation Forum, and it was a 10/10 experience.
Angela showed great preparation, even with limited time, as well as empathy for the group and their needs, the ability to integrate these needs in the workshop, high professionalism, and dynamic moderation.
