Speaker Bio:
Khaleelah founded and scaled Careful Feet Digital, a London-based digital marketing agency, after working in the digital marketing space for a decade. She worked her way from being an associate at Living Social to head of marketing at WellTok, Inc., where she was part of a team that doubled the user base in just six months and raised $18m in Series B funding.
