Whether she’s on stage, in the boardroom, or at the whiteboard, DeAnna brings a rare combination of lived insight and commercial strategy. Her work bridges the gap between employee wellbeing, customer loyalty, and culture transformation, delivering the kind of results you can feel and measure.

As a speaker, consultant, and former global leader in customer experience transformation, she’s known for her clarity, courage, and no-fluff approach. While at Aviva, she led a multi-award-winning transformation programme that didn’t just boost customer satisfaction - it reshaped the company’s internal culture, increased profitability, and elevated the brand’s end-to-end experience.

She now helps organisations do the same - with less burnout, more humanity, and a hell of a lot more impact.

Her signature keynotes include:

• Built for All Brains: The Neuroinclusive Workplace Advantage

• Designing for Difference: Inclusive Customer Experience That Works for Every Brain

• Unmasked & Unapologetic: The Rise of Neurodivergent Women at Work

• From Strategy to Experience: Making Customer-Centric Cultures Actually Work

DeAnna's work challenges the status quo of tick-box inclusion and short-lived “culture fixes.” Instead, she shows organisations how to embed human-centred leadership, neuroinclusion, and experience design into the very DNA of their business, transforming the way they lead, listen, and connect.

If you're ready to move from performative to transformative, DeAnna's your person.

Outside of work, DeAnna is a multi-passionate creative who once earned the nickname “queen of the side hustle.” She spent her 20s and 30s touring internationally as a rock and Latin musician - all while holding down award-winning leadership roles in the corporate world. That same rhythm, presence, and fearless energy now powers her keynotes and her work with organisations worldwide.

When she’s not on stage or in strategy mode, you’ll find her hanging out with her husband and their energetic, imaginative four-year-old, making art, writing, playing music, reading, or wandering through the woods with a good podcast.

A Californian who now calls the UK home, DeAnna brings warmth, irreverence, and cross-cultural insight to everything she does. Her work is grounded in deep purpose, lived experience, and a belief that no one should have to hide who they are to thrive.
