“MJ is a natural thought leader and challenger of the status quo, she never settles for good enough especially if that excludes others. I've had the privilege to work with MJ as she led and created the inclusive marketing strategy at Microsoft Advertising. MJ has the ability to grab attention, drive curiosity, open minds and even change the way people think. She does her homework, analyses the data, forms convincing arguments, champions ideas and creates change. She is a passionate and compelling keynote speaker gaining rave reviews from everyone including the C Suite. MJ is a powerful force for good and if you get a chance work with her grab it with both hands, hang on and enjoy the ride, it always leads to somewhere new and you'll have a ton of fun along the way.”
