Kim Rittberg

Every day, you're being watched — in the boardroom, on a Zoom call, in a 15-second video that could reach more people than a room ever could. In a world where AI can write your words but not your presence, the ability to connect as a human — on camera, on stage, in person — has become the ultimate competitive edge. Kim Rittberg teaches leaders and teams exactly how to do that.

A 6x award-winning media executive turned video coach, Rittberg spent 15 years at Netflix, PEOPLE Magazine, and TV News — including launching the first-ever video unit for Us Weekly, which led to its $100 million sale. She took that insider media expertise and built it into a coaching and speaking business, helping thousands of founders, coaches, real estate agents, and other self-employed professionals turn on-camera presence into real revenue, leads, and credibility.

Rittberg offers audiences motivation alongside actionable, hands-on tools they can use immediately. Her sessions help professionals speak confidently in meetings, pitches, and conferences, and she shows teams how strong communication directly strengthens leadership, collaboration, and sales — moving people past the fear and self-consciousness that keeps talented professionals invisible on camera, on a stage, or in a room.

A keynote speaker at Berkshire Hathaway, SXSW, TEDx (twice), the Fast Company Innovation Festival, and the California Association of Realtors, Rittberg is also a judge for the Emmy and Webby Awards and a regular contributor to Fast Company. She's been featured in Forbes and Business Insider.

She hosts the top 1% podcast The Exit Interview, has trained in improv comedy at the famous UCB Theater in New York City, graduated cum laude from the University of Pennsylvania, and — se habla español.

Fun fact: Rittberg spent a year backpacking solo, ran her own jewelry business, and performed improv comedy. Not simultaneously.
