Ayelet is a true global citizen. Her worldview was developed while living and working all over the world. She has been there done that in the corporate world, both as an executive and an entrepreneur. Her background in politics and theatre helped Ayelet navigate these often divergent (yet always political) worlds. Never one to hold back, she shares her wisdom by writing and speaking professionally throughout her journey.
Ayelet has transformed her career in the past few years. Her last role after over a decade at Cisco Systems was as Chief Strategy and Innovation Officer for Cisco Canada, where she helped propel Canada from the sixth to the second-largest revenue-generating country for Cisco. Most recently, she was an Innovator in Residence at Roche/Genentech where she introduced new ways of working.
Longing to share her experiences and observations from the trenches (and get off the corporate treadmill), she began writing and speaking about the future of work and life. As a global business futurist, she has shared her purpose of bringing common sense back to business in hundreds of keynotes and articles presented and published across the world.
Ayelet is the real deal thought leader. She loves talking about 21st century business and what is possible for business as a force of good, where people are at the heart of business. She predicts that two-way conversations are making a comeback and knowing how to tap into technology will fundamentally transform your business when you understand the importance of trusted relationships. As co-creator of CreatingIs, she envisions creating new markets instead of competing ones, building connected networks and communities and working in abundance rather than scarcity.
Ayelet lives in San Francisco and her passions besides writing and speaking, include time in nature, cooking healthy meals, reading, conversations and the ocean. She is on the Board of One Heart Worldwide, focused on maternal health, and a big supporter of No Kid Hungry.

Thank you so much for supporting my crowdfunding campaign. I have an exciting update. The book was published today. Our Journey to Corporate Sanity features 33 transformational stories from pioneers at the edge in business today, and my hope is that each person who reads the book will find inspiration and something of themselves reflected in at least one of these stories.
As you may know, my journey with this book began with the plan to self-publish, and I spent a few months finding my way through an uncharted path. With the trust and support of this crowdfunding campaign, I followed an unexpected road and met my amazing publisher, Param Media, who not only provided the editorial support the book needed, but also the new title of the book: Our Journey to Corporate Sanity. The book's new title reflects the deep need in today's world to bring about a different path for business, one that embraces healthier, saner principles, including those present in many ancient philosophical/spiritual traditions that encourage us to seek greater self-understanding, wisdom, and alignment with reality.
You will be receiving the copy or copies of the book included in your package. The electronic version is available for download here https://www.dropbox.com/sh/4jp... and will expire in seven days.
I would love to hear from you, and if you want to share the message of this book with others, please share your impressions of the book by providing a review on amazon.com, which will help get the book to many more people who could benefit from it. My dream is to open as many hearts and minds as possible through my writing and public speaking, and to unleash the human potential in each of us to lead from within.
Thank you for supporting my mission, and I look forward to continuing on this journey to co-creating a sane and healthy world with you. I will provide updates on my journey as I follow the teachings of the book myself.
With deep gratitude,
Ayelet
