Meet Denene: The Visionary Behind the Spark

I’ve always believed that behind every number, every insight, and every story is a spark waiting to ignite change. As the founder of Zebra Strategies and host of the Gritfully podcast, I’ve dedicated my career to amplifying voices that often go unheard.

With over 20 years of experience, I’ve worked with Fortune 500 companies, government agencies, and advocacy organizations to uncover the heart of what drives people and communities.

But beyond the data and the strategies, I’m a firm believer in the power of grit, grace, and a little bit of whimsy. Whether I’m speaking on stage, crafting digital resources, or hosting the Gritfully podcast, my mission is simple: to inspire, empower, and create meaningful change.
