Recognized by MSN and NY Weekly Magazine as a Top Female Entrepreneur and Biohacker in 2025\, I contribute regularly to Forbes\, Entrepreneur.com\, Business Insider\, Women’s Health Magazine\, Global Woman Magazine\, and more. With over 20 years as an AI and Machine Learning technologist\, my career began in AdTech and Big Data\, where I built platforms that automated billions of decisions in milliseconds\, before a chronic inflammatory illness redirected my focus to diagnostics\, biohacking tools\, and integrative health. That journey took me to the TEDx stage with The Data Driven Journey to Optimal Health and to Gaia\, where I shared my story of resilience\, science\, and optimization. In 2024\, I launched Wellness Eternal (WE) to bring efficacy\, trust\, and clarity to the crowded biohacking and longevity space\, and a year later introduced the Biohacking Index—the first platform of verified ratings and reviews for wellness solutions and providers. Today\, our monthly Index Reports reach over 350 major media outlets\, including Business Insider\, amplifying the most effective solutions and thought leaders in human optimization. At the heart of it all—whether through Small Hinges\, Wellness Eternal\, or the Optimize W(e) Podcast—is my core belief that small hinges swing big doors\, and that with the right data and connections\, even the smallest action can unlock massive breakthroughs in health\, longevity\, and human potential. \nSpeaker links: Website\, LinkedIn\, Instagram\, Facebook \n\n\n\n\nAbout The Entrepreneurial Women’s Collective (EWC) \nThe Entrepreneurial Women’s Collective was born in 2015 as a way to offer meaningful networking and professional development to women business owners.

Are you Still Choosing It\nEileen Benwitt\, Executive Confidant/Leadership Coach \nPlus Member Spotlight: Jennifer Glover Keller\, Business Productivity Consultant \nParticipants will leave with a simple way to recognize and return to agency in real time:\nThe Agency Check: \n\nIs this mine to choose or am I reacting?\nWhat is driving this decision?\nIf I didn’t do this\, what feels at risk?\nDoes this feel like something I’m stepping into or carrying?\nDid I choose this or did I default to it?\n\nAgency isn’t something you have\, it’s something you practice.\n\nThere’s a difference between running your business and being run by it.\nNot all “yeses” are choices. Some are pressure in disguise.\nEnergy is a signal.\nYou don’t need to rebuild\, you need to re-choose.\nThe difference between independence\, empowerment and agency\n\nABOUT OUR SPEAKER: \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nEileen Benwitt is an Executive Confidant\, leadership coach with over three decades of experience at the intersection of influence\, people\, and culture\, including serving as a C-suite HR executive. Known for her emotional precision\, blunt grace\, and a commitment to honest self-reflection\, she partners with leaders and organizations to reclaim what is real within themselves and the systems they lead. \nHer approach integrates executive development\, emotional resilience\, relational intelligence\, and alignment-based leadership to support leaders navigating uncertainty\, honoring their capacity\, and modeling sustainability\, leading from self-awareness rather than performance. Through 1:1 partnerships\, group experiences\, and organizational advisory work\, she reframes leadership as an inside job — one that begins with understanding oneself and extends into how we show up for others. When leaders lead from this place\, their presence lifts others rather than depletes them\, making work feel human again\, influencing organizations in ways that are both deeply human and deeply consequential. \nEileen’s work is grounded in lived experience. Over the course of her career\, she witnessed firsthand how internal misalignment can impact wellbeing and overall capacity — insight later deepened through her own professional reinvention. That experience now informs how she partners with others. \nAt its core\, Eileen’s work reflects a simple belief: leadership begins with understanding ourselves. This work is most powerful when it is knitted into the natural evolution of leadership\, supporting growth as it unfolds rather than interrupting it. \nSpeaker link: LinkedIn\, website \n\n\n\n\nAbout The Entrepreneurial Women’s Collective (EWC) \nThe Entrepreneurial Women’s Collective was born in 2015 as a way to offer meaningful networking and professional development to women business owners.

She is a go-to-market strategist who partners with venture capital- and private equity-backed companies on strategic growth initiatives.
