Natalie Runoff: Keynote Speaker

Natalie's background is defined by a blend of diverse personal experiences and professional accomplishments, enriching her approach to leadership and innovation.

Natalie was born in Eastern Germany and raised in the Soviet Union and Eastern Bloc. Her childhood exposed her to the beauty and intricacies of diverse European and Asian cultures.

Her entrepreneurial journey began at age 19 when she co-founded a hi­tech business alongside her future husband.

While expanding her new business, Natalie continued her business, finance, and HR studies across Germany, Belarus, England, and Canada.

As the business grew to over 150 employees in several countries, Natalie and her husband developed systems and processes that allowed them to step back from day-to-day operations. This shift allowed Natalie to focus on growing their family, pursuing her passion for interior design, and volunteering. This venture opened doors to collaborations with partners across Europe, the Middle East, Asia, and North America.
