EVENT OVERVIEW:


Join us for an inspiring TEDx Women event in the heart of the Upper East Side of New York City. This exclusive gathering will take place on the stage of a prestigious private school, providing an intimate and elegant setting for an evening of thought-provoking talks and meaningful conversations.

In a world where success is often celebrated without recognizing the journey that led there, our theme, "Rethinking Failure," aims to reshape how we perceive setbacks and challenges. We will explore the narratives of resilience, growth, and transformation that redefine failure not as an endpoint but as a crucial part of the path to success.

Our diverse lineup of speakers brings together experts from various fields, each with unique insights and experiences related to "Rethinking Failure."

The Speakers

Bhuva Shakti

Risk Advisor, Bhuva's Impact Global

"Challenging Traditions: My lessons as an outsider (and a woman of color) on Wall Street for 20 years"

In the late 80s, the computer science degree was first offered in India.


I was one of the first women to enroll.

In the early 90s, the next town was one of the first to offer an all-female school.


I was one of the first women to travel to seek out higher education.

In the 80s and 90s, the unwritten rule in India was: “it is a waste of time and money to educate women.”

I was one of the first women in the community to emigrate to the US.

You could call me a “risk-taker.”

After a 20 year career on Wall Street, managing risk for clients, I have hung out my own shingle.

I have a daughter.

I'm teaching her to be a risk taker too

Katie Goar

President, Quadel  

"How I went from homeless to housing CEO (and why rock bottom was my best launchpad)"

I was homeless at one point in my life. I know intimately, what housing insecurity feels like. Today, I am President at Quadel, working to help housing authorities across the country create safer communities for the younger version of me. Having worked in this industry for nearly three decades, I've seen how a safe home can radically change people's lives.

Tasneem Husain

Technology Auditor, Intuit

  • "How to transform failure into feedback with an auditor’s precision (and keep moving forward)"

I'm lucky to say I've never experienced true failure.
However, with an auditor's lens, I've taken a magnifying glass to my life and share what I have learned--and how I'm different today.

Today, at a large multinational software company, I ensure our technology keeps your privacy and data safe.

Victoria Kirk

"3 ways being an outsider sharpened my data instincts (and why it matters today)"

Executive Director, Customer Insight & Strategy, Connectar Design Strategy

I’m an American living in Britain.


I'm raising half-Indian, half-American kids by way of marriage.


My daughter asked me the other day “What am I?”
> I thought deeply about my answer to my 7 year old daughter.
> My answer to her also informs the work I do today.

I help companies in finance, technology, healthcare, and manufacturing speak to the minority user of their service or product.Not just the majority.


I help companies tailor the message so the minority receives it.
Understands it.
Buys it.

Just as I worked with my daughter that day to help her understand who she is and why people ask those kinds of questions.
