Biography

Nataly Kogan is a globally recognized expert in transformation and authentic leadership, on a mission to help leaders grow through change and unlock their next level of impact, clarity, and joy. She’s a sought-after keynote speaker, best-selling author, artist, and former tech CEO. Nataly is the creator of the REINVENT•ABILITY™ Framework—a science-backed mindset and action system that helps people thrive through change and unlock their next level of potential and impact.

Nataly immigrated to the U.S. as a refugee from the former Soviet Union at age 13, starting her American life in the projects and learning English by watching Who’s the Boss? on repeat. She went on to build an extraordinary career—at McKinsey and Microsoft, as Managing Director at a venture capital firm, and as founder or executive at five tech startups. But after years of chasing success without fulfillment, Nataly experienced profound burnout that became the catalyst for her reinvention.

Today, through her books, keynotes, and programs, she helps leaders reconnect to what matters and lead through change with clarity, courage, and a renewed sense of purpose and impact. She’s the author of Happier Now, The Awesome Human Project, and The Awesome Human Journal, and hosts the REINVENT•ABILITY™ Podcast. Her work has been featured in The New York Times, The Wall Street Journal, Harvard Business Review, Forbes, and hundreds of other outlets.

Nataly began painting at 40 and is now a self-taught abstract artist, daring people to live in bold color. She often integrates creative expression into her leadership development experiences. She does not believe patience is a virtue and proudly holds the title of funniest person in her family. (Just ask her favorite awesome humans: her husband and daughter.)
