several global media and tech companies. Her specializations include
Audience Development, Consumer Engagement and Brand Optimization
within the digital, mobile, tech and multi-media space.
A graduate of the University of Connecticut, Iona college and current PhD Candidate at Northcentral University, this former college professor runs her businesses as a Marketing & Digital Strategist for some of today’s top media and tech brands while she serves as CEO to her own media & management firm – Neelleven Group and non-profit, With Distinction Foundation.
When speaking on what inspired her to create the In Real Life Conference (#IRLCONN), Kelly states, “being a student, entrepreneur and executive myself – I wanted to create a resource that served as an answer to what many of my peers, colleagues and I inquired about excelling in business all while navigating adulthood and balancing our livelihoods. #IRLCONN is just that – a fluff free, honest and a welcoming environment where palpable business connections are made, thriving in life is encouraged and valuable information decimation is the norm.”
