Juana-Catalina Rodriguez is a two-time award-winning author of Unsettled Disruption and a global authority on innovation, disruption, and leadership. With over 25 years of experience driving innovation across diverse industries, she has navigated the challenges and triumphs of challenging the status quo.
Five years ago, Juana-Catalina took a step back to reflect on why so many intrapreneurs, like herself, faced obstacles in pushing boundaries and fostering innovation within their organizations. This journey of exploration led to the creation of her first book, Unsettled Disruption, and the beginning of a larger mission.
“It is not the strongest species that survive, nor the most intelligent, but the ones most responsive to change.”
Since then, she has worked with hundreds of corporate changemakers and entrepreneurs worldwide, uncovering a shared truth: setbacks, failures, and roadblocks are integral to the innovation process. Juana-Catalina emphasizes that true innovation is not a singular moment of brilliance but a continuous, iterative journey of discovery, collaboration, and resilience.
This philosophy inspired the coming Igniting Innovation Series, which evolved from a single book into a broader mission. Through this series, Juana-Catalina shares stories, insights, and strategies to empower intrapreneurs globally, equipping them with the tools, inspiration, and community needed to transform challenges into opportunities and drive meaningful innovation.
As a thought leader and advisor, Juana-Catalina has inspired executives at renowned organizations, including Stanford Graduate School of Business, Airbus, Thales, Salesforce, FIFA, Infosys, and Metro Pacific Tollways, among others. She serves as an Executive Coach and Consultant for Stanford GSB Seed (Stanford Institute for Innovation in Developing Economies) and Stanford GSB LEAD, supporting global executives and entrepreneurs.
Juana-Catalina is the founder of JnC Nova and co-founder of the Circular Disruption Think Tank and IMPACT by LEAD. She also serves as a Board Advisor to several startups and organizations, furthering her commitment to fostering innovation and leadership on a global scale.
