Karen Jacobsen knew what she wanted to do with her life from a very early age, however she couldn’t have predicted the challenges ahead nor becoming the voice of (Australian) Siri and being at the cutting edge of AI issues for performers.
As a musician and performer she has an immense body of work that’s admired across the industry including her idol, the (late) Olivia Newton-John. Oh, and she appeared on Harry Connick Junior’s tv show!
Her passion for her craft and supporting others has evolved and intensified over time. Karen jokingly refers to herself as the only woman that men take directions from, and this is an enlightening conversation about life and lessons learned.
You can find out more via her speaker website and performer website.
