What People are Saying About Kerry Siggins
Speaking
“Kerry is a fantastic motivator and speaks from the heart and a place of truth. Kerry recently provided an inspiring message of hope and determination to our women's railway organization that was very well received. Kerry's enthusiasm for perseverance, authenticity, and personal growth is energizing and inspiring. I can't wait to read her new book and I look forward to more motivating words to come.”
Kari Gonzalez, President and CEO at MxV Rail
“This summer Kerry spoke at a companywide Women in Leadership sponsored event. Kerry’s story and how she delivered it, along with her practical wisdom tips left everyone inspired and better equipped to deal with challenges and opportunities. We are living in a time with great thought leadership and many opportunities to expand our perspectives and improve our responses. What resonated with the team was Kerry’s real-life experience growing from crisis to successful CEO. I recommend Kerry for any executive looking to bring inspiration and practical leadership practices to their teams.”
Nancee Ronning, former COO at BNSF Logistics
When the Women of Wabtec needed a keynote for International Women's Day that would talk about resilience, I knew we needed Kerry. She did not disappoint. By sharing her story of going from rock bottom to becoming a CEO at 29, she helped the audience believe that resilience exists in all of us. We can embrace our past, because it has been woven into the fabric that we are today. "What a vulnerable session - bravo to everyone involved," "I am loving these conversations," and "I can't wait to share this" are just some of the many comments that were shared with me. Her keynote was exactly what our audience needed to hear. I highly recommend Kerry Siggins for your next Conference, Summit or Corporate Event.”
Sara Hanks, Senior Director, GE Transportation
“For our year end gala, we were looking for a dynamic speaker who would connect their speech to our organization’s mission and also serve as a marquis name to help get fundraisers in the door. Kerry more than delivered! She reached out early to get information about our mission and goals for the speech. When the event came, we were thrilled. Her speech hit all the marks: funny, heartwarming, and most importantly, right on message. We’re confident that Kerry helped us surpass our fundraising goal!”
Alex Lemmel, Board Treasurer Big Brothers Big Sisters of Southwest Colorado
“Kerry is fantastic at orchestrating and leading panel discussions, either in person or virtual. I’ve had the pleasure of working with Kerry on multiple webinars and panels. Her process starts with purposeful planning and setting a topic that is engaging for both the attendees and panelists. She places significant value on high quality content – keeping a sharp focus on creating meaningful takeaways for attendees. She encourages the panelists to constructively debate and co-curate topics, questions, and the event flow during the planning stages. On the day of the event, she adapts, pivots and weaves attendee questions into the discussion. Kerry is a world-class moderator and presenter with the ability to support multiple topics areas.”
Michael Pytel, CTO at Fulfilld
“I have been fortunate to be a very close witness to Kerry’s amazing leadership for the past several years. The hallmark of a great leader is the ability to inspire followership, and Kerry is among the best I’ve seen at uniting a world-class team around a big vision and empowering them to act. Three words come to mind when I think about Kerry: Look out, world! You don't want to miss her keynotes and podcast; you'll learn so much.”

Kerry as a Podcast Guest
“Kerry was a guest on TMT Time in 2021, and in particular, she was part of our “Start up Sutra” series focusing on entrepreneurism and leadership. She was fantastic as we explored how to build out a company through M&A transactions, the struggles and successes facing women leaders, and her approach to team building and employee empowerment. I highly recommend her as a guest and as a leader!”
Evan Rothstein, Partner at Arnold & Porter and host of TMT Time Podcast
“Having Kerry on my show was one of the most connected episodes we've produced. I can tell a difference between a guest with a hidden agenda, and a guest willing to go all in. Her answers were relatable to our audience, and many wrote in saying how much inspiration they found through Kerry's story. Her story isn't perfect, and that's what makes it beautiful. Thanks for the heart opening chat!”
Chris Schembra, CEO of 7:47 Club and Host of 7:47 Conversations Podcast
