Everyone told Vini Kaul she was too young. Too inexperienced. Not ready.
She went on to negotiate multi-billion dollar technology deals, become one of the youngest tech executives in enterprise sales globally, graduate Harvard Business School, and co-found an AI startup.
In this one-hour session, Vini breaks down exactly how she navigated age bias in high-stakes tech environments, built credibility before she had tenure, and converted skepticism into billion-dollar trust. She will also share what she is building next and why she is betting on AI to redefine what growth leadership looks like.
This is not a motivational talk. It is a tactical playbook from someone who has operated at the highest levels of tech, and won.
Key Takeaways:
>> How to build executive credibility before your resume earns it
>> The specific moves that convert age bias into competitive advantage
>> What closing multi-billion dollar deals taught her about trust, timing, and positioning
>> A first look at AI startup Smadlytics and the global growth behind it
