WHO SHE IS

Kiersten Hathcock is a keynote speaker, entrepreneur, and author whose work sits at the intersection of resilience, reinvention, and radical self-trust. A former television marketing executive with A&E and The History Channel, she left a thriving corporate career, taught herself an entirely new craft, and built an internationally recognized brand from her Los Angeles garage — with no formal training, no outside funding, and no blueprint. She took that brand to ABC's Shark Tank and walked out with a deal. Her debut memoir, Little Voices, was published by Post Hill Press in partnership with Simon & Schuster. She has delivered keynotes to audiences across North America, earned a TEDx stage, and serves as Chief Marketing Officer of Moonshot, a nonprofit accelerating entrepreneurs across Arizona and beyond.

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 self-trust.

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 scratch — with no formal training, no outside funding, and no guarantee it would work. It worked. Her company earned placement in publications across seventeen countries and landed her on ABC's Shark Tank, where she won an investment deal in front of a national television audience.

Since then, Kiersten has delivered hundreds of keynote addresses 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 World Market Center in Las Vegas, and the High Point Market. She has addressed audiences as large as 500 and led intimate workshops that participants describe as genuinely life-changing.

Her TEDx talk, her role as Chief Marketing Officer of Moonshot — a 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 extraordinary storytelling, actionable insight, and a rare ability to connect with any audience — 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've seen. Conversations continue for hours after she leaves the stage.

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

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

She is based in Arizona and available for keynotes, corporate events, conferences, and workshops worldwide.

KEYNOTE TOPICS AT A GLANCE

Kiersten speaks across three interconnected areas. Every talk is customized to the audience in the room.

For Corporate & Business Events

For organizations that need more than inspiration — they need a blueprint. Kiersten draws on her journey from television executive to Shark Tank winner to offer frameworks for leadership, brand building, pitching under pressure, and the kind of decision-making that separates businesses that survive from ones that thrive.

For Women's Leadership & Empowerment Events

For the women in your audience who are ready to stop waiting and start building. Kiersten speaks with rare authenticity about succeeding on your own terms — in industries that weren't designed to include you, and in chapters of life that didn't go according to plan.

PRAISE

"Kiersten delivered the keynote at our High Point Market Dinner. She was very well prepared, well spoken, genuine, and inspiring. We received rave reviews from seasoned professionals — it was one of the best presentations in recent years."Katie Hatch, VP, Rooms to Go · Former VP, American Society of Furniture Designers

"Little Voices is a propulsive, vivid memoir that offers rare insight into emotional abuse and the ways in which it can both coexist and be healed by intuition. This isn't a book that's just for survivors — it's a book for anyone who wants to learn about intuitive ability and human psychology."Dr. Kelly Sundberg, Professor & Award-winning Bestselling Author

"Kiersten's story teaches us that narcissistic abuse and coercive and controlling relationships scramble even the deepest metaphysical intuition — and shows us how healing is possible."Dr. Ramani Durvasula, Licensed Clinical Psychologist & Bestselling Author
