In late 2021, she joined the executive leadership team in Amazon’s Corporate Business Development group.
Bethanie is a tireless women’s advocate and recognized leader on the topic of breadwinning women. She founded the Breadwinning Women’s community at Google which grew to over 3000 women globally in two years and will launch Amazon’s community in 2022. Bethanie is the host of the podcast, Working Wife, Happy Life! launched in early 2020.

She has contributed to multiple panels including for communities such as HeyMama, Mindr Global and The WIE Suite and the parents network at NASA. She was an official speaker at the Women’s March NYC 2020 and moderates many Talks At Google events for the Google sponsored YouTube channel on topics focused on furthering women in various industries including the film Equity, the film Egg, the documentary She Started It and the books The Myth of the Nice Girl and Fair Play.
Bethanie holds a BA in Human Services from Northeastern University in Boston, MA. She has attended several global leadership conferences for women including Women Transforming Leadership at Said Business School at Oxford University in the United Kingdom and the Women’s Director Development Program at Kellogg.
