Empowering you to identify and seize innovative opportunities for
transformation
My core mission is to empower ambitious teams and individuals to reach their highest potential. One of my favorite parts of my work is being able to dive deep into the goals and challenges of a team and experience that moment of unlock. I do this through training offsites, workshops and speeches that not only invigorate but unite your team around a playbook of best practices and common north star.
Alignment
Do you feel your teams splintering while trying to address various priorities? Are leaders wasting time managing day-to-day decision making rather than long term targets and strategy? Even high performing teams can fall out of sync during periods of rapid growth or change. I thrive on re-centering teams around a unified mission & vision to empower individual contributors, free up leadership, boost moral and skyrocket productivity.
Longevity
Repeated sprint cycles can leave teams feeling exhausted, unappreciated and unseen. I have some tried and true practices forged during 20 years of war rooms, product launches and international expansion which will allow leaders to make their repeated sprints not only productive but a celebrated part of their culture.
Empowerment
Do you want employees at every level of your organizaiton to think and behave like an owner? I love to train individual contributors, managers and leaders how to use the win-win-win method for accelerated growth, promotion and impact. Together we can unlock the greatest potential within your people and have a great time doing it.
Innovation
Do you worry that your teams are more reactionary than visionary? Often it is well-intentioned systems that prevent the best ideas from taking root. I have simultaneously managed teams across 5 continents during critical moments of growth and have some tried and true methods for creating truly innovative, synchronized and collaborative teams – even in distributed and hybrid setups.
Advancement
Are you attracting, retaining and promoting the right people in your organization? Are your rising stars easily identifiable? Are your underperformers receiving the early intervention they need to become successful? Are there clearly established ladders for growth? I have interviewed, hired, managed and collaborated with thousands of high performers and have easy tools for you to utilize today to craft world class teams.

After my Chief of Staff took Ann Hiatt’s Chief of Staff Launchpad Masterclass course she has proposed a complete reorganization of my operation. At first she was terrified she was overstepping and thought I would say no. She stepped into that fear and presented it anyway. After we tweaked the proposal together I said yes. In just 2 weeks after our operational reorganization she has created enough space in my head that I have been able to add millions of dollars in value to the company.
Ann Hiatt’s course = My freed-up mental capacity to deploy scaling million-dollar strategy. What an incredible ROI!

Ann Hiatt’s seminar for the Lockheed Martin Leadership Association displayed her Silicon Valley experience with lessons learned applicable across multiple organizations. Her knowledge of the technical industry, leadership skills, and organizational behavior was eagerly absorbed. Ann’s ability to engage an audience through a virtual speaking event came with poise and ease. Ann’s enthusiasm and passion for sharing her methodology of goal setting and having an intrapreneurial mindset was inspiring to all.
Sam Beni
Ann’s keynote at Tech Nation Future Fifty event was truly inspiring – informative and eye-opening, with engaging and thought-provoking delivery. Our attendees, CEOs of unicorns and the largest tech scale-ups, were blown away by the quality of her content and the uniqueness of her message, leaving them asking for more. We highly recommend Ann to any corporate team looking for an insightful and engaging speaker.
Dan Vigdor ThriveDX
I have brought Ann Hiatt in to consult on several critical projects over the past two years while running and scaling ThriveDX. Her understanding of what a C-Suite needs to effectively scale their leadership has been a vital asset, while having a keen understanding of the needs of running a profitable business. Her expertise, insight, candor and humor have been a welcome addition to our team that we bring to the table time and time again. I have recommended her to several of my colleagues who have been equally impressed.
Dr. Jochen Wallisch – Siemens
Ann Hiatt’s keynote speech at our Siemens training event brought together her 15 years of experience, memorable stories and key business insights from Silicon Valley and interpreted these lessons for our participants. Every attendee left the conference with enthusiasm and actionable steps to increase their impact.
The group was highly satisfied about her talk so that we immediately booked her to return in a few months. We look forward to our cooperation in the future!

Ann participated in a Meetup Live event to discuss how to lead your career with purpose. She provided tangible advice that the audience was able to learn from and easily implement in their journey. Ann’s easy going nature paired with the many powerful anecdotes she shared from her personal journey made her relatable and resonated with the audience . Needless to say, the event was a huge success and we can’t wait to partner with her again. On a personal level, I can’t wait to apply all of the valuable nuggets she shared to my career path!
Chris Thurling
I have had the pleasure of working with Ann as a non-executive director since 2018. She has consistently demonstrated a unique ability to focus board discussions on the core challenges and goals of our organization, and has been a catalyst for action in driving progress. Ann has brought a wealth of experience from working at large tech companies to our small business, and has always kept the needs of our team at the forefront of decision-making. She is skilled at collecting and synthesizing information, and is a valuable asset to our board and organization. I highly recommend Ann to any team looking for a strategic and people-focused board level adviser.
