Bianca Lager

Bianca Lager has never met a stranger, and that’s exactly how she approaches every stage and every audience. A former CEO turned keynote speaker, Lager helps leaders turn busy, disconnected teams into happy, high-performing ones. She believes work should make people feel energized, valued, and proud so that when people love their work, they take that energy home with them.

Drawing on more than 20 years of experience building companies, scaling teams, and leading through change, Lager gives leaders the tools and systems they need to replace chaos with clarity and build the trust that drives results. As the former President of Social Intelligence, Lager led the company through rapid growth and acquisition, learning firsthand what it takes to align people, purpose, and performance. Today, she is known for teaching her signature Inbox Zero Leadership framework, a practical approach that blends structure, empathy, and accountability so leaders can create focus, boost morale, and achieve measurable results without losing connection to their people.

Lager has worked with clients including Goldman Sachs, McKinsey & Company, Northwestern Mutual, Amica Insurance, and Tyson Foods, and is a trusted voice among tech founders and fast-growth companies navigating the human side of scale. She is also a LinkedIn Learning Instructor and Cornerstone LMS Trainer, where her online leadership courses have reached more than 200,000 professionals worldwide.

Lager holds an MBA from Pepperdine University and a Bachelor’s degree from the University of California, Santa Barbara, combining business acumen with a people-first approach to growth and performance.
