Mom of Three, Founder and CEO of Sage Haus
Kelly Hubbell Biography
Kelly Hubbell is a mom of three and the bootstrapped founder of Sage Haus — the only nationwide placement service dedicated exclusively to matching house managers with busy households. Kelly is the person to book when your event is about invisible labor, the care economy, working motherhood, or what happens when women stop trying to do it all and start building the infrastructure they actually need.
Kelly came from enterprise tech sales at Snowflake and Docker. She started Sage Haus on maternity leave with her third baby after hiring her own house manager and watching her life change — not just the logistics, but her relationships, her mental health, and her ability to be present with her kids. What began as helping one friend hire has grown into a company serving thousands of families across the US and Canada.
Kelly's talks combine hard data with real vulnerability. She speaks about the invisible labor crisis, why household management is the AI-resilient career path nobody built, and what it actually looks like to bootstrap a company while raising three kids under four. She's been featured in The Atlantic, TODAY, Forbes, and Nasdaq's "Women to Watch."
Audiences leave Kelly's talks with a structural reframe they can apply immediately — whether they're working parents, founders, HR leaders, or career-changers. She doesn't do platitudes. She brings data, lived experience, and the kind of honesty that makes people cry and then take action.

Kelly Hubbell Speaking Topics

The Mental Load Conversation Is Stuck. Here's What Comes Next.
The mental load went viral. We named it. We memed it. And the most common advice is still "talk to your partner." This talk reframes invisible labor as an infrastructure problem — not a communication problem — and shows what happens when families invest in structural support instead of coping strategies. Kelly brings peer-reviewed data, thousands of family stories, and the kind of reframe that makes audiences rethink everything they thought they knew about work-life balance.
Best for: Parenting conferences, women's leadership events, wellness summits, maternal health events, corporate benefits forums

I Started a Company on Maternity Leave. Here's What I'd Tell You Not to Do.
Kelly registered Sage Haus while nursing her third baby. Three years later: 35 employees, bootstrapped, profitable, featured in The Atlantic. This is the honest founder story — the napkin business plan scribbled during gym childcare, the first placement run from a parking lot, the moments she almost quit, and why building a company that serves families required building one that actually worked for hers.
Best for: Founder events, women in business, startup conferences, bootstrapper communities
