Speaking at WIHL 2026: Leading With Data

Leading with data requires judgment.

This April, I’ll be speaking at the 2026 Women in Hospitality Leadership Conference at Wynn Las Vegas about what leading with data really means.

In my experience, analytics are rarely the constraint. Interpretation is. Strong leaders don’t react to persuasive metrics at face value. They examine context, surface assumptions, understand incentives, and weigh human consequences before making consequential decisions.

In this session, I’ll share five questions I use with leadership teams to structure those moments, whether the conversation is happening in a boardroom, an ops meeting, or a vendor review. The objective is clearer thinking and stronger judgment.

The examples draw from hospitality and tourism, but the discipline travels. Leading with data means identifying what’s missing before deciding what the numbers mean. Because how you make decisions is what separates a high performer from a leader.

This will be my first speaking engagement of 2026. I’ll share additional appearances here as they’re confirmed.
