Yvonne Boateng with more than a decade of experience across communications, strategy, and digital engagement, she brings a rare blend of insider platform knowledge and commercial savvy to every stage she steps onto. During her time at LinkedIn, Yvonne worked with global clients to unlock the platform’s full potential across marketing, sales, and employer branding. There, she saw a consistent pattern: the biggest results were never driven solely by company pages or corporate campaigns. They came when employees showed up as visible, credible voices in their own right. People outperform brands, because people trust people. This insight underpins all of Yvonne’s work as a speaker. She has partnered with leading organisations including Amazon, Panasonic, Standard Chartered Bank, Credit Suisse and bp to design and deliver sessions that do more than “educate about LinkedIn.” Her keynotes and workshops are built to shift mindset, build confidence, and catalyse behaviour change, so employees actually start showing up online in a way that builds their personal brand and supports the company’s goals.
After Yvonne partnered with a tech company, they were named ‘Europe’s Most Active Electrical & Electronic Manufacturing Professionals on Social’ the following year. On stage, Yvonne is dynamic and relatable, with an ability to make LinkedIn feel accessible to every attendee, whether they are an experienced executive or someone who has barely touched the platform. She breaks down what “good” looks like into clear, repeatable steps: how to position your profile for opportunity, how to create authentic content that aligns with your expertise, and how to engage in a way that builds trust instead of noise. Participants leave with immediate practical actions rather than a vague intention to “be more active.”
Her sessions are designed with inclusion at the core. Yvonne is particularly skilled at empowering introverts and underrepresented groups who often have deep expertise but limited visibility. She creates safe, energising spaces where attendees feel seen and supported, and where taking the first step of updating a headline, commenting with substance, or sharing a story, happens in the room. This means the shift from insight to implementation begins during the session itself. Event organisers value Yvonne for her partnership approach. She collaborates before the event to understand your strategic priorities whether that is activating leaders as visible role models, supporting a brand or culture transformation, or amplifying a new employee advocacy programme, as she tailors her content and examples accordingly. She can integrate internal language, initiatives, and case studies to ensure the session feels relevant and aligned.
Post-event, clients see measurable uplift: more employees optimising their profiles, an increase in thoughtful posts and interactions, and a noticeable rise in the quality and consistency of LinkedIn activity across the business. For many, Yvonne’s session becomes the catalyst that finally moves advocacy from “something we talk about” to “something we do” that’s embedded in the culture. If you are looking for a speaker who will educate, energise, and equip your audience with the tools and confidence to use LinkedIn strategically, Yvonne Boateng delivers. She leaves people with a clear roadmap, a renewed sense of ownership over their professional brand, and the belief that their voice matters to their career, their organisation, and the communities they serve.
