She is also a very welcoming and charismatic person, which made her keynote a very pleasant experience!” ”

Tatiana Grossi

Business Analyst, Intel, Germany

“Tania is a powerful speaker with an ability to influence and energize the audience. At the DisruptHR conference, she spoke about how Sponsors can become game changers for Protégés as compared to Mentors. And why we need more and more sponsors for women in today's workforce than mentors. Given an opportunity, I would love to explore on leveraging this concept personally or professionally.”
