“We were lucky to have Karina speak at Pinterest’s annual Women’s Conference two years in a row. Both talks were highlights of our program. Karina is an authentic and compelling speaker, and working with her from content development through the day of the talk was the ultimate pleasure. I hope to continue working with her in the future.”
