About Aimee Kandrac

When someone you care about faces a crisis, you want to help — but often don’t know how. You drop off a lasagna, you say “let me know if you need anything”… and somehow, it still doesn’t feel like enough.I get it.And I’ve made it my life’s work to change that.As a keynote speaker, I help organizations strengthen their cultures of support — at work and beyond. Ishow how meaningful help doesn’t have to be big or complicated — it just has to be there when it’sneeded most.I am also the CEO and Co-Founder of WhatFriendsDo.com, the go-to platform for coordinating help during times of crisis, caregiving, and major life changes. Named a Top 50 Mompreneur by Babble.com, I bring more than a decade of nonprofit leadership and personal caregiving experience into everything I do, blending empathy with real-world action.I’ve had the privilege of speaking at events like the Indiana Conference for Women, Network of Womenin Business (NOWIB), Successful Women Made Here, VERGE, and Walk the Talk. My work has beenfeatured in Forbes, Fortune, TIME, LA Times, Oprah.com, Advancing Women, and many more acrossprint, TV, radio, and podcasts.If you are looking for a keynote speaker who brings heart, humor, and actionable strategies to help your community show up for each other when it matters most, I’d love to connect.Learn more at AimeeKandrac.com.
