Kendra Valentine is a Story Strategist and author of How to Pitch (Almost) Anything (Pearson Business). She helps people turn what they do into a story that actually lands – for any audience, in any room. Her book, built around a method she calls Strategic Story Design, gives readers three practical tools to explain their work clearly – and her workshops put those tools to work in real time.

Her background spans everything from film and experiential design to start-ups and global institutions. She has worked with Universal, Warner Bros., Nickelodeon, Techstars, and Electrolux, among others. An American based in Berlin, Germany, and London, UK, she works internationally across industries and cultures.

When she’s not working, she’s cooking something ambitious, dressing up her dog Dandy or investigating the world’s best immersive experiences.
