Patty is regularly called upon to do keynotes and workshops for women’s leadership networks and events. 

Women are inspired by Patty’s own personal business and career success, but also with her openness and generosity in sharing the practical way forward with others. In this context, Patty addresses all the hard business and career challenges every leader needs to deal with — but with the weird stories, extra challenges, and and social and political roadblocks of doing it while female. Her personal, yet very practical stories highlight the value of the extra persistence, guts, and patience that are required to succeed, and she leaves other women inspired and motivated that they can do it too. As Ginger Rogers, the female half of the famous movie dancing duo said of her partner Fred Astair, “I did everything he did, but backwards and in high heels.”

About Keynote Speaker Patty Azzarello

“Patty is a business leadership speaker who has actually been a successful business leader”

  • Some leadership speakers are business experts
  • Other leadership speakers are inspirational
  • With Patty, you get both

Because of the extraordinary nature of her her own, fast growing career as a technology business executive, Patty brings a perspective unlike other business speakers. Audiences leave both inspired, and with a practical understanding of how to get their organizations moving forward. People are drawn to her heartfelt, straight-shooting, often humorous stories about surviving and mastering the unavoidable realities of running a business. She shows, in words and spirit, how to lead as an executive while still being a decent human being in the process.

Background

Patty’s remarkable story took a major step forward when she became the youngest general manager at HP at the age of 33. She ran a $1B software business at the age of 35. And she became a CEO for the first time at the age of 38 (without turning into a self-centered, miserable jerk).

Patty has held executive roles in General Management, Marketing, Software Product Development, and Sales. She has transformed large and small businesses, and has significant international management experience.

Patty has over 20 years of experience speaking to international audiences as large as 10,000 and in industries as varied as Financial Services, Manufacturing, High Tech, Consumer Products, Education, Fashion, Energy, Public Service and Professional Associations, and Women’s Leadership Networks.

Book Patty for your Keynote, Customer Event, User Group, Professional Conference, Leadership Summit, Annual Meeting, Advisory Board, or Networking Event.
