Victoria has never let circumstances stand in her way. Growing up in an abusive home until she was removed and later adopted, Victoria’s childhood was filled with abuse, sexual assault, and physical violence. But none of that has stopped her.
Victoria has overcome tremendous odds to pursue a life of corporate success and leadership. It’s easy to let our circumstances stand in our way. But we don’t have to. Circumstances of our past only rob us of our future if we let them. Victoria chose not to let her circumstances be her excuses.
At the tender age of 24, Victoria was offered her first executive role within a large, dynamic, and fast-paced organization. It might seem astonishingly young for someone to bear such a weighty mantle of accountability and responsibility.
However, it was her unwavering determination, her unyielding resilience, her undeniable confidence in her ability to excel in the role, and her resolute grit that allowed her to rise to the occasion.
As a member of the LGBTQ community, Victoria knows about diversity and inclusion, and why one without the other is of little value. It’s not enough to have other voices at the table when those opinions aren’t being heard.
Victoria’s messages have stemmed from her struggle, and success, in being accepted as a woman in the male dominated board room, and as a member of the
LGBTQ community.

As a professional host/MC, entrepreneur, podcaster and investor, I get to work with and hear a lot of speakers. Victoria is most definitely a cut above. And her speech matters. It inspires everyone to recognise and own their personal journeys and pathways. It instills a sense of personal and collective pride in owning our individual talents.
Victoria’s wide range of keynote topics are ideal for any organization, or event, that will benefit from inspiration, and motivation.
