Shaneen Jackson, Global Lead for Women's ERG at Kraft Heinz
“From the moment we connected I knew Salima was my top pick supported by my leadership team as a keynote speaker for our Global International Women's Day event. At Kraft Heinz, we are on a mission to increase Women in Leadership roles to 50% by 2025 and increase gender parity to 50% by 2025. With these aspirations and this work being at the forefront of Salima’s everyday life, I knew she would have a powerful story to tell to our employees at Kraft Heinz.
Her P.I.E. framework is one that we can all resonate with, you don’t have to work hard to advance but rather have an opportunity to be at the table and allow your voice to be heard with supporting allies and sponsors. Thank you Salima for sharing your expertise by educating and inspiring over 600 of our employees on IWD. We are stronger because of you!”

More than just insightful, Salima's presentation was timely and aligned seamlessly with our organizational goals. Beyond the event itself, it sparked ongoing discussions and implementations within our teams, acting as a catalyst for positive change. Its value isn't confined to the present; it holds enduring relevance in our rapidly evolving industry landscape. Salima's expertise and guidance have equipped us with practical tools that are set to profoundly shape our career trajectories.

Nikki Matarazzo, Women in Action Canada Lead at Dell
“Salima Valji delivered an animated, informative, powerful speech at the 5th annual Dell Technologies Women in Technology Rally on Thursday, September 7th, 2023. Her discussion of the P.I.E. (performance, image, and exposure) Theory of Success with our audience members was impactful, leaving the attendees with questions to reflect on following the day’s event. The energy that she brought to the room was contagious and storytelling, relatable and authentic. We would recommend Salima for future speaking engagements to uplift and empower a diverse audience.”

Florencia Rodriguez Lamas, Inclusion & Diversity Chair at Siemens Energy
“We had the pleasure of having Salima as a guest speaker during our International Women’s Day celebration.
She explored with the audience what privilege and power are and offered tools and clear actions on how to be an impactful ally, advocate, and sponsor. She invited the audience to reflect on their own experiences and learnings and created a safe space for colleagues to be heard with support and compassion.
She was a pleasure to work with in the planning process and her knowledgeable and engaging approach made for a very successful event. We look forward to working with her again.”
