Transforming her academic qualifications and research on cognitive ability into industry-leading advice, Rebecca utilises her knowledge to unlock the potential in every individual and team. As an accomplished entrepreneur, Rebecca has proven the value of her insights in supporting the success of the businesses she works with by highlighting biologically driven behaviours and strategies for optimising a professional environment. As a speaker, Rebecca has been booked internationally, with her methods for fearless leadership translating to every corporate setting.
In 2018, Rebecca founded Icueity, an organisation that aims to empower others, of which she currently acts as the CEO. Backed by her knowledge as a biologist, Icueity is a mobile app that explores a comprehensive approach to an individual’s personal traits and their limiting qualities, designed to highlight the gap between self-perception and perception of others. Hailed as an expert in self-awareness, Rebecca has also published ‘Instinct’, a book that guides readers into rewiring their brains through science-backed strategies, a topic she expands on at her speaking engagements. Pairing scientific evidence with an innate understanding of human behaviour has led Rebecca to achieve industry-defining results, with her clients improving productivity and securing success.
Following a degree and master’s in biology from Binghamton University, and a PhD from The University of Memphis, Rebecca embarked on a career as an academic. Having spent a decade in research and teaching roles, most prominently at South Carolina Governor’s School for Science and Mathematics, Rebecca was recruited to spearhead a new venture for young entrepreneurial minds, a testament to her influence in the industry. After such an impactful career in the public sector, Rebecca realised the value of her work for private corporations and now dedicates her time to educating audiences on fearless leadership and teamwork, supported by science.
With clients ranging from Sage to ADP, Microstrategy to Consolidated Assurance, Rebecca’s reputation on the speakers’ circuit is undeniably positive. Taking to the renowned TEDx stage in 2016 her presentation on Ghostbusting Our Evolutionary “Other” received universal praise.
