Tanya Smith is a Digital Authority strategist, speaker, certified AI consultant, and host of the Build Digital Authority podcast. She helps experienced women and expert-led organizations turn earned expertise into a digital presence people can recognize, trust, find, and connect to meaningful opportunities.
Her talks explore the full path from authority positioning to intellectual property, on-camera presence, durable visibility, and opportunity. Personal branding, video, and responsible AI are woven throughout as practical tools that help strong expertise become easier to recognize and use.
