The FUTURE of BRANDING is Personal
TM
For decades, corporate brand equity shaped markets. But individuals now scale faster than institutions. A strong personal brand moves with the market, adapting in real time, attracting capital, and garnering 561% more engagement than corporate brands.
Personal brand equity now dictates leadership mobility, capital flow, and corporate strategy. Understanding this shift is no longer optional. It is the foundation of modern leadership.
HI, I’M Talaya
I believe that a strong brand has the power to change the world, which is why I’m passionate about working with professionals that are striving to make a positive impact on the future. This vision drives my startup, Valuables, an AI-powered personal brand management software-as-a-service platform for leaders. Previously, I have provided leadership brand consulting and executive positioning for leaders of top organizations, including the United Nations, Google, the NBA, and the Federal Reserve Board.
I’ve taught at Duke and lectured internationally. Institutions like MIT and Oxford house my academic contributions, while my insights on personal brand equity are featured in outlets like Bloomberg, Fast Company, and Forbes.
