Robin Goad is a global technology executive at Amazon Web Services (AWS), accomplished sales leader, author, and passionate advocate for women in the workplace. Over nearly three decades, she has built a highly successful career at some of the world’s most respected technology companies, including AWS, Dell Technologies, and Gartner. Her experience spans public sector, aerospace and defense, cloud, artificial intelligence, and complex global partner ecosystems.
Named Dell’s Working Mother of the Year and recognized by CRN’s Women of the Channel, Robin has spoken at prominent events, including SXSW and TEDx. Known as a bold, candid leader—and a “warrior in heels”—she understands that talent and hard work alone do not determine who advances. Women must also learn to navigate the unwritten rules of influence, visibility, relationships, and organizational power.
Robin is the author of Girl by Birth. Woman by Fire.: The Get Real Guide to Becoming the Woman You Were Meant to Be. Through her writing, speaking, and mentorship, she shares the hard-won lessons of her corporate and personal journey to help the next generation of women lead strategically, live authentically, and pursue success without losing themselves.
A proud Christian, Texan, wife, mother, and grandmother, Robin believes her greatest legacy will be measured not only by what she has accomplished, but by the women she helps rise behind her.
