I was on television at 6. Produced my first event at 11.
I’ve been in this game for a while—and I’ve never stopped watching how humans behave when the cameras are off.

Today, I lead CDH Tech Global, based in Miami and working worldwide.
I speak at conferences, lead trainings, and collaborate with governments, creative teams, marketing leaders, and C-Level decision makers who are done with recycled strategies.

I’ve received international awards in innovation, strategy, and creativity, across diverse industries and cultural contexts.

💔 Human connection, tech & emotional dynamics

Ghosting (emotional, professional, cultural)

Broken bonds and the role of tech

Love in the age of algorithms

Honest communication vs. branded connection

How we treat each other when the spotlight’s gone

🧭 MICE, events, audiences & the new consumer

Event formats that actually work (the rest are noise)

What’s really shifting in MICE & business travel

Innovation in events: from spectacle to substance

The new consumer and their precision bullshit filter

Audiences that evolve faster than your strategy deck

I’ve spoken at:
SITE Global, DisruptFest, Wonder Women Tech (California), Marketing Day Digital (closing keynote), WIN Mastermind, and more.
Also featured in media like EBTV, LATV, Sonríe Miami, and digital platforms.

I don’t speak to entertain.
I speak to move something.
And when that happens, the event doesn’t end when the lights go off.

Transformando Estrategias Digitales y Culturales: Mi Viaje hacia la Excelencia en los Resultados de Negocio

🎯Mi propósito siempre ha sido claro: acompañar a las organizaciones en la creación y ejecución de estrategias digitales y culturales robustas que no solo alineen, sino que maximicen el rendimiento de sus capacidades para generar un impacto significativo en los resultados de negocio.

💬Mi historia se cuenta a través de dos fases clave en mi carrera:

Inicialmente, durante 8 años, me sumergí en el mundo del desarrollo de software, donde no solo lideré sino que también contribuí al crecimiento de equipos técnicos. Atravesé una diversidad de roles, asegurándome siempre de entregar productos digitales con la más alta calidad, en tiempo y forma, y más importante aún, ayudando a los miembros de mi equipo a alcanzar su máximo potencial.

Posteriormente, a lo largo de 6 años, mi enfoque se expandió hacia el acompañamiento de organizaciones en la instauración de una gobernanza de portafolio eficaz. Esta fase me permitió guiar decisiones estratégicas sobre en qué productos invertir recursos y cómo crear estrategias de cultura que se alineen y potencien el negocio.

🌎 También lidere el área de cultura haciéndome cargo de las formas de trabajar, la gestión del cambio, la comunicación interna y del engagement & ENps a nivel global en 3 países (🇨🇱, 🇵🇪, 🇲🇽)

Mi experiencia no se limita a roles técnicos. He sido gerente de servicio y producto, roles que han fortalecido mi liderazgo y me han convertido en un catalizador para el desarrollo técnico, metodológico y profesional. He aportado herramientas para que el personal a mi alrededor se desarrolle e itere continuamente, traduciéndose esto en un mejoramiento tanto personal como profesional.

Me enfoco en la iteración, generando valor y cuidando la calidad del producto mientras minimizo la deuda técnica. He creado espacios para el intercambio de conocimientos, fomentando un ambiente donde el equipo se une y trabaja a un ritmo sustentable.

👩‍🏫 A lo largo de mi carrera, he jugado roles vitales como mentora, facilitadora, profesora, practicante de Lean Agile, experta en TI, dominio de negocio, especialista en transformaciones y consultora.

Jenny Wynter

Jenny Wynter

Jenny Wynter is what happens when a stand-up comedian and a mental health advocate collide. Based in Queensland, she’s known for taking the stuff workplaces usually tiptoe around - the messy reality of creativity, culture, and mental load - putting it onstage, and turning it into something genuinely unforgettable.

Jenny doesn't deliver keynotes; she runs an intervention. Instead of lecturing on leadership or diversity, she uses her extensive training in improv, comedy, and musical timing to pull the audience into a shared experience. This deliberate method transforms what could be another corporate talk into a session that actually sticks - because people weren't just passively listening, they were playing.

Before she was delivering keynotes, Jenny was navigating the wards of children's hospitals as a Clown Doctor for close to five years - a gig that taught her more about high-stakes improvisation, tough audiences, and managing emotional complexity than all her training with the best of the best, (including Second City and The Groundlings in the States and Loose Moose in Canada) combined. She funnels that rare mix of stagecraft and genuine empathy into her movement, Funny Mummies™, a community built to help mothers protect their mental health through connection and laughter.

Her work has been recognised with significant accolades: the PSA Kerrie Nairn Fellowship, the first-ever ABC iView Pitch Perfect win, Excellence in Cabaret at Melbourne Fringe, Best Variety Show at United Solo Festival in New York, and a Green Room Award nomination for cabaret writing. She’s also a two-time TEDx speaker and holds a Bachelor of Communications majoring in Business Marketing. Online, she leads a Facebook community of around 30,000 women, and performs nationally and internationally, often utilising her knack for improvising songs on the spot, supported by years of vocal and keyboard training.

For event planners, Jenny also brings the practical side: full AV support, a studio with green-screen capability for virtual events, recording facilities, and a tour-ready PA system. She’s comfortable working globally, having delivered virtual keynotes to teams across the Asia Pacific, clients in the US, and organisations in the UK - always ensuring the event happens during the client's business hours, even if it means logging on in the middle of the night from Queensland.

Clients describe her the same way: warm, sharp, and genuinely inclusive. She doesn't just deliver a message; she shifts the energy of the room in minutes, leaving people feeling lighter and ready to act. If you’re looking for a keynote grounded in the messy reality of life, but delivered with the precision of a trained comedian, Jenny is the go-to speaker for an event that is truly energising and grounded in humanity.
