Join us for one of our upcoming Women of Wisdom events!

Hi! I’m Elena Krasnoperova.

I spent the last 25+ years working in Tech – and I think I managed to squeeze 50 years’ worth of work into 25 calendar years! In my last full-time role as a VP of Ads Analytics at Meta, I led a world-class team of 1,500+ data scientists, data engineers, ML engineers, and product analysts who focused on optimizing and growing Meta’s $130B+ ads business.

I recently started a new chapter. I now help amazing, accomplished professional women find their “ikigai”: an intersection of what gives them joy, what they are great at, what the world needs, and what they can get paid for. I do it by hosting private, by-invitation-only, in-person events that combine inspiring content, great food, and opportunities to build deep and meaningful connections with other amazing women of wisdom.

Who are Women of Wisdom?

  • We are based in the San Francisco Bay Area (or travel there frequently)
  • We have 20+ years of professional experience in the tech industry
  • We may work full-time, have a portfolio career, run our own business, or be taking a career break
  • We have accomplished a lot but are not “done” making an impact
  • We are on a journey to live a life of ikigai

We held our inaugural event in Palo Alto in September and it was magical!

I hope to see you at one (or more) of our future events.

Here is what the inaugural event attendees said about the event:

“A huge thank you for the incredible WoW event this weekend! Everything from the food to the panelists and attendees was top-notch. Everyone was so gracious with their time and expertise. I left feeling inspired and connected, and I would love to attend future events!”

“I’m sure the ripple effects of this one weekend will be felt for years to come, as new connections and friendships were made and ideas sparked. I am grateful I was able to be a part of it and look forward to the next one!”

“It was a great event! I really enjoyed meeting so many people (and reconnecting with some old friends), and I took so many inspirational ideas away too.”

“What a wonderful day! I can’t thank you enough for your effort, energy and inspiration in pulling off a one-of-a-kind event. Important and meaty topics, expert and generous speakers, delicious and nourishing meals (in every sense of the word), the purple goodie bags… Every detail contributed to a deep sense of care, compassion and community.”

Meet our amazing speakers, panelists and moderators from past and upcoming events!
