Kiersten Hathcock is one of the most compelling, authentic and unconventional keynote speakers working today — a woman who has built companies, survived the impossible, and turned every unexpected chapter of her life into a masterclass in resilience, reinvention, and radical trust in herself.

A former television marketing executive with A&E and The History Channel, Kiersten walked away from a thriving corporate career, taught herself an entirely new craft, and built an internationally recognized brand from the ground up — with no formal training, no outside funding, and no guarantee it would work. It worked. Her company attracted celebrity fans, earned placement in publications spanning seventeen countries, and landed her on the stage of ABC's Shark Tank, where she won an investment deal in front of a national television audience.

That was just the beginning.

Since then, Kiersten has delivered hundreds of keynote addresses to audiences across North America — from Fortune 500 companies and MBA programs to national conferences and sold-out summits. She has spoken at Northern Arizona University, the American Society of Interior Designers, the American Society of Furniture Designers, the World Market Center in Las Vegas, and the High Point Market — one of the largest design trade events in the world. She has delivered keynotes to audiences as large as 500 and led intimate workshops that participants describe as genuinely life-changing.

Her TEDx talk, her work as Chief Marketing Officer of Moonshot — a 25-year-old nonprofit accelerating entrepreneurs across Arizona and beyond — and her debut memoir, Little Voices, published by Post Hill Press in partnership with Simon & Schuster, have cemented her reputation as a voice that is as credible as it is captivating.

Kiersten's keynotes are known for three things: extraordinary storytelling, actionable insight, and an ability to connect with any audience in the room — from C-suite executives to first-generation college students — with equal power and authenticity. Event planners consistently report that audience engagement during her talks is unlike anything they have seen from other speakers. Questions run long. Conversations continue for hours after she leaves the stage.

She has been featured in People Magazine, The New York Times, The Los Angeles Times, and across international media. She is a co-founder of NILJ.org, a nonprofit organization that supports crime victims and their families, co-founded with retired NYPD Detective Mark Pucci.

Kiersten is currently in development on two television projects with major production companies — a scripted adaptation of Little Voices and a docuseries — further expanding a public profile that is already national in reach and growing rapidly.

She is based in Arizona and available for keynotes, corporate events, conference engagements, and exclusive workshops worldwide.
