Marketing consultant Kathryn Wharton speaking at a Women in Tech event

Inspiring audiences through stories & strategy

I’m an experienced keynote speaker, panellist and facilitator, known for bringing practical insight, relatability, and inspiration to the room. With a sprinkling of humour. 

My talks draw on real-world marketing experience, leadership, career change and visibility – shaped by working across museums, tech, consultancy and community building.

TOPICS I'M OFTEN INVITED TO SPEAK ON

SPECIFIC TOPICS I'M EAGER TO TALK ABOUT

  • Meet Ada: the AI agent I built with curiosity, not code

  • Commercial thinking for people who hate sales

  • From archaeology to AI: what digging up bones taught me about building a business

  • Newcastle, not Silicon Valley: building women in tech where you are

Ways I work with audiences

I’m comfortable working across different formats and settings – from large conference stages to smaller, more conversational rooms. I care about preparation, context and creating space for thoughtful discussion rather than surface-level soundbites.
