[Yes, that’s her REAL name!] Princess Castleberry is a Global Keynote Speaker and Leadership Strategist who helps fast-growing organizations uncover hidden triggers, behaviors, and misalignments that stall momentum, drain investments, and erode performance. Instead of applying temporary fixes, she delivers sustainable solutions that turn obstacles into levers for lasting success.​

Through her proprietary Live, Lead, and Build Leverage™ framework, Princess equips leaders with practical strategies that eliminate inefficiencies, enhance decision-making, and build resilience to burnout and decision fatigue—ensuring that the solutions don’t just work but stick.

Before launching her leadership training company, Castleberry Global, in 2019, Princess spent over two decades as an expert in enterprise risk management, human resources, and organizational resilience. She worked with global leaders such as Marsh & McLennan, Pulte Homes, and Kelly Services, bringing strategic expertise in global insurance, business continuity, cybersecurity, and wellness counseling across the U.S., EMEA, and APAC regions.

A proud alumna of the Goldman Sachs 10,000 Small Businesses and Goldman Sachs One Million Black Women: Black in Business programs, Princess now partners with corporate clients, professional associations, and entrepreneurial hubs to help them drive high-impact, enduring change.

She holds a Bachelor’s Degree in International Business from Illinois Wesleyan University, a Master of Training and Development from Oakland University, and a Certificate in Wellness Counseling from Cornell University.

Princess commands the stage with bold energy, sharp insights, and humor that challenge leaders to go deeper. She is a featured TEDx speaker (her first time ever on a main stage) and thought leader published in Fast Company, Silicon Republic, and Supply & Demand Chain Executive.

Born, raised, and based in Detroit, Michigan, USA, Princess is a global citizen who immerses her family in cultures around the world.
