Kim Rittberg Biography

At the peak of her corporate media career, when Kim Rittberg found herself working during childbirth, iPhone in one hand, IV in the other, she realized she needed to redefine success and chart a new path. Rittberg spent nearly two decades as a media executive at Netflix, launching Us Weekly’s video unit, which led to its $100 million sale, and as a writer and producer of national TV news. Despite being an accomplished executive, she was gripped with self-doubt and fear of where to go next. Motivated by the life she dreamed of, which included being home for dinner with her baby, she kept pushing forward.

Since that hospital epiphany, Rittberg and her marketing company have won six awards. Rittberg has become a sought-after public speaker on national stages, is a frequent on-camera TV contributor, and helps people across the country unleash their potential. She’s also been featured in Forbes, Fast Company, and Business Insider. She merges her personal experiences facing down doubt and imposter syndrome and her decades of being a leader in media to help transform teams and individuals. Her focus is helping teams identify motivation, break through barriers, and become strong, confident communicators that can inspire, persuade, and drive success.

Leaning on her decades of training professionals to be on-camera and speak in public, Rittberg offers motivation and hands-on tools for professionals to speak confidently in meetings, pitches, and conferences, strengthening leadership, collaboration, and sales. She also brings her expertise as an award-winning video marketer to help those looking to build their personal or corporate brand on video and social media. Rittberg graduated from the University of Pennsylvania cum laude, hosts the popular podcast The Exit Interview with Kim Rittberg, has trained in improv comedy at the famous UCB Theater in New York City, and… se habla español.
