Of The Career You Crave

Speaker

Keynote speaker and career expert

Hi, I’m Irina.

I’m a career strategist, author, keynote speaker, podcast host, and the founder of Career Cravings.

For fifteen years, I worked inside HR, recruitment, talent management, and executive boardrooms. I saw how careers were built, how major hiring and leadership decisions were made, and why even the most accomplished professionals could still feel disconnected from the lives they had created.

I also experienced that disconnect myself.

I spent years building the career I thought I was supposed to want. On paper, it looked successful. But over time, I began to realize that achievement alone was not creating the fulfillment I expected it to.

That realization changed the direction of my work—and my life.

Today, I help ambitious professionals find greater fulfillment in their work, land jobs they genuinely love, and build careers that fit who they are now. 

Through Career Cravings, my coaching programs, keynote speaking, podcast, and book, I have helped thousands of people navigate career change, land meaningful opportunities, trust their evolution, and redefine what success looks like for them.

Irina’s impact is profound — she radiates positivity and creates a deep sense of belonging and community in the room. One moment that truly stuck with me was her Glowstick Activation. It wasn’t just symbolic — it was a powerful reminder that we must take action to activate our dreams. Irina’s authenticity, invaluable advice, and ability to engage an audience left a lasting impression that I’ll carry with me well beyond the event.
