Nancy Giordano is an ‘endlessly optimistic’ woman who, as opposed to focusing solely on the changes our world is facing, harmonises the ‘what’ and the ‘how’ to deliver unique insights to audiences. As of 2025, Nancy has already delivered over 200 keynotes across the world, giving all sorts of listeners a glimpse into what it means to be one of the world’s top female futurists. Founder of Play Big Inc, author of LeaderING: The Ways Visionary Leaders Play Bigger, and mother of three, Nancy has certainly earned her place as one of her generation's most capable women.
Nancy’s career, however, didn’t start with Play Big Inc. In fact, 2009 saw her becoming the Chief Curator and Licensee of TEDxAustin, and Co-Licensee and Mentor for TEDxYouth@Austin in 2013. From here, Nancy went from strength to strength, developing an increasing interest in AI and the internet’s evolution. This curiosity kickstarted her transformation into a femme futurist who was determined to showcase ‘WHAT is changing and HOW we can get there’. So, in 2015, she sought to learn from AI pioneer Doug Lennat, hoping to commercialise his unique method for explaining the medium.
A decade later, Nancy is now one of the most recognised female futurists. Her ideas for a better tomorrow are nothing short of inspiring, and she uses her extensive exploration of AI to map out positive change across many socio-economic models. Co-Founder of the Femme Futurist society podcast, Nancy embodies the definition of a capable woman. To her, the intersection of technology, business, and society is a fascinating one indeed, and she’s a strong advocate for strengthening the bonds between these elements to create something special.
Nancy Giordano is more than just an experienced speaker – she’s a spokeswoman for creating a truly peer-to-peer internet. Her work with Holochain and Holo Hosting exemplifies this; by playing a key role in introducing the world to Partnerism, Nancy is going the extra mile to ensure that, in an age of technology, we never lose connection with people and nature. To Nancy, embracing potential is crucial, and she’s eager to express this through her professional presentations. If you’re looking to add some socio-economic flair to your event, book female futurist Nancy Giordano today!
