Join us for the 13th Annual Women’s Day, with the theme "Redefining Luck“

Luck didn't get you here.

Success is rarely the result of chance. This year's Women's Day challenges the idea of "luck" and celebrates the choices, preparation, resilience, and relationships that create opportunity. As we mark our 13th year, we'll explore how today's women leaders are navigating change, embracing risk, and creating their own paths forward.

Jennifer King

Offensive Analyst, North Carolina Central Football

Jennifer King is a trailblazing football coach whose career has redefined what's possible for women in the NFL. After becoming the first Black woman to serve as a full-time assistant position coach in NFL history as the Washington Commanders' Assistant Running Backs Coach, she continued breaking barriers as the first woman to lead a position group at the 2022 East-West Shrine Bowl and later coached the National Team running backs at the 2023 Reese's Senior Bowl. Following the 2023 NFL season, King joined the Chicago Bears as an Offensive Assistant working with the running backs, and in 2025 accepted an Offensive Analyst position at North Carolina Central University, where she currently coaches the wide receivers. In June 2026, she also became a partner in Level Sporting Club, Chicago's home for women's sports.

Before making history in football, King built an accomplished 12-year career in college basketball coaching that included a National Championship and National Coach of the Year honors in 2017. She transitioned to football after attending the 2018 NFL Women in Football Forum, which led to internships with the Carolina Panthers working with the wide receivers and running backs over multiple offseasons and preseasons. She then served as Assistant Wide Receivers Coach for the Arizona Hotshots of the Alliance of American Football before joining Dartmouth College, where she coached the wide receivers and assisted with offensive quality control for the 2019 Ivy League champions. In 2020, King joined the Washington Commanders as a full-season Offensive Assistant, working with the running backs and offensive quality control before earning her historic promotion following the season.

In addition to her coaching career, King played 13 years of women's tackle football as a quarterback, wide receiver, and safety with the Carolina Phoenix, New York Sharks, D.C. Divas, and D.C. Prodigy. A seven-time All-American and two-time national champion, her playing experience continues to inform her work developing elite athletes at every level of the game.

Anne Hungate

Founder & CEO, QuantumBloom

Anne Hungate has spent nearly two decades on conference stages talking about resilience during uncertainty — and nearly three decades living it. She didn't pick up a tennis racket until her forties, and she didn't build her first company until well into a career already defined by technology delivery and a ready-pivot. Both taught her the same lesson: luck isn't something that happens to you. It's what happens when you're already in position for it.

That lesson has played out again and again. When COVID hit, Anne had already built the infrastructure to move her organization to a fully remote workforce — with no loss in productivity or revenue — because she'd spent years in ready position, not prediction. When the market shifted beneath mid-market and enterprise clients, her firm Daring Systems stayed profitable for seven-plus years, with 90% of clients returning for repeat engagements. Readiness, not forecasting, is the throughline.

Today, as Founder & CEO of QuantumBloom, Anne is building evidence-based retention infrastructure for the technical workforce — work born from watching talented people get promoted for what they know, then stall out because no one taught them how to stay steady when the ground moved. That work started with women in STEM and has expanded to what she calls the genderless exodus from tech, as AI rewrites the rules of entry-level careers in real time.

A 2x Grace Hopper Celebration speaker with nearly 20 years on the keynote circuit, Anne has served as both emcee and keynote speaker for the Summit for Women in Tech. Her talks don't offer prediction or false certainty — they offer a practice: build your ready position, recenter on purpose, and meet opportunity when it arrives instead of scrambling to catch up to it.
