Dori Kelner (dmkelner)

As a tech leader and entrepreneur, I have a passion for building organizational culture with a strong orientation towards valuing people. As founder of Insightful Culture, I design workplace programs in stress management, resilient leadership, and cultural change. I also lead mindfulness workshops and offer mindfulness-based stress reduction (MBSR) classes for individuals. I am credentialed as an MBSR teacher by the Mindfulness Center at Brown University’s School of Public Health, certified as a Workplace Mindfulness Facilitator by Mindful Leader, and am a certified yoga instructor.

I am also co-founder of Sleight-of-Hand Studios, a Drupal agency in Washington, DC. We specialize in hosting, technical support, and upgrades. With decades of experience in the IT and digital space, I have been a speaker at DrupalCon, DrupalGovCon, various Drupal Camps, Association of Media & Publishing, User Experience Professional Association, and other digital meetings and conferences.

I hold a BA from Cornell University and a Master of Science in information management Summa Cum Laude from the University of Maryland University College.

In my spare time, I love to cook, knit, and play golf. I am a certified wine educator. I am serving as the VP for my class in the Cornell Alumni Association. I volunteer as a meditation facilitator for Mindful Leader, and a program facilitator for TedX Midatlantic.
