Book IWD Speaker: Shelley Westman

IBM, Kyndryl Vice President and Big Four Cybersecurity Partner (and attorney), I bring a distinctive perspective on women in technology, executive leadership, and breaking barriers in traditionally male-dominated industries.

Throughout my career, I have held senior leadership positions at some of the world’s most prominent organizations, led multimillion-dollar businesses, built high-performing teams, and driven business growth and transformation across the technology and cybersecurity industries.

I am a passionate advocate for women in STEM, gender equality, diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI), and increasing female representation in technology and executive leadership.

An engaging and dynamic speaker, I have delivered numerous keynote presentations to highly positive reviews.

I combine firsthand executive experience with candid insights, compelling stories, and practical perspectives on overcoming barriers, advancing women in business, developing female talent, and creating pathways to leadership.

I am particularly passionate about inspiring the next generation of women in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics.

My work and perspectives have been featured in Forbes, Fortune, The Huffington Post, and MSNBC.

Speaking topics include women in STEM, women in cybersecurity, women in technology, female empowerment, inclusive leadership, gender diversity, executive leadership, mentorship, career advancement, leadership development, and the future of women in business.
