Animal Science

I dropped out of Pre-vet to train horses in Arizona. Then I became a chef and that career led to working in some of the top restaurants in the San Francisco Area. 17 years ago I switched to tech and never looked back. I still have the horse though!

Adjunct Faculty

Santa Clara University

I organize programs for SVForum Tech Women. In 2011, Janet gave a presentation on Social Media strategies; in 2013, she moderated two panels for the group. She received high marks every time- with about 1/3 rating her extremely effective and the remaining 2/3 rating her very effective. [Not one person rated her just plain old effective or lower]. Janet is knowledgeable, responsive, and personable (a true delight to work with). I absolutely plan to work with her again.

highly recommend Janet as a professional speaker, moderator, keynoter or panelist. Janet provides just the right amount of authoritative and credible presence, while being very warm, funny and approachable at the same time. Having been in the tech industry for a few years and excelling as a true early adopter, she's extremely knowledgeable about all kinds of technology--better yet, can deliver her practical know-how in easy to understand nuggets of wisdom and actionable information for any audience to understand. Tons of insight and fun to work with - I would consider myself lucky to get her again at any one of my events

Social Biz 2010

When I contacted Janet to present as a Keynote Speaker at SocialBiz 2010, I knew she had excellent credentials and credibility in the business of the Social Web. However, as our communication continued before, during and after the event, I had the pleasure of getting to know Janet as a professional who truly cares deeply about delivering quality to her clients. Her keynote presentation was delivered flawlessly, she was well prepared, she was relaxed - and she engaged and connected with the audience with natural charm and authenticity. Janet is a dedicated and consummate professional and it was my honor to have her speak at this event.
