With over two decades of experience in strategic communications and public relations, I bring actionable insights on crisis resilience, executive positioning, entrepreneurship, and career growth to the stage, the panel, and the program.
Speaker, Moderator & Emcee: Mary Ullmann Japhet
MARY ULLMANN JAPHET
Before I was a strategist, I was a journalist, and the instinct to ask the right question at the right moment has never left me. Whether I'm keynoting a summit, moderating a panel, or emceeing an event, my goal is the same: to keep the room engaged and the conversation moving toward something useful. I draw on 20+ years of frontline experience in San Antonio to bring real-world case studies and honest perspective on entrepreneurship, career transitions, mentorship, and the future of strategic communications.
