“Amita Mehta was my most anticipated speaker for our program year, and she did not disappoint. Amita’s story is spine-chilling, inspiring and sincere. She is relatable and genuine in her approach and influential in helping one see how tragedy, diversity, and ultimately being a ‘misfit’ can actually lead to greatness.”

“Amita always brings her A-game to every speaking engagement, which translates to unparalleled energy and relatability. I often look to Amita for her unique perspective as a senior leader and a woman who spent decades thriving in a male-dominated field. That’s why I’ve repeatedly invited her to speak at my national conferences.”
