Kerri Walsh Jennings officially retired from the Olympic pursuit in 2023 and looks forward to creating and living a beautiful life with her family and to creating a new and golden trajectory for herself, her global community, and her sport as a whole.
“Thanks again for everything, Kerri was fabulous, everyone was beaming after her speech and getting to meet her! She was relatable, authentic, and spoke as if she knew our team at the event. You could tell she did put in time to prepare and stay on theme with what our event was about & trying to accomplish. Everyone came up to me throughout the day saying she is the best speaker we’ve had at any of our company events. And the best part the rest of our event presenters took quotes, and interweaved themes from Kerri’s speech into theirs, or their biggest takeaways from such an inspiring leader. She was great and I would highly recommend booking her, and she is always welcome to come back to our company events!”
