Founder & CEO

Edison International

Silicon Valley business strategist Cheryl Edison works across 75 countries and 65 industries. Known for her philosophy "Creativity, Community, and Commerce," Edison is continually on the move, living the effects of emerging global patterns, capturing opportunities and developing frameworks that guide innovators to fundraise, sell globally and scale into the US Market with more ease.

As a trusted advisor and speaker to the US State Department, Embassies, iconic universities, incubators/accelerators, foundations, and venture capital firms, Edison is relied on to "tell it like it is," building bridges for business and personal transformation. Her expertise spans investment readiness, pitch development, strategic partnerships, and ecosystem building—translating complex systems into actionable strategies and soundbite tactics that have made her a sought-after media personality regularly featured in broadcast media in every country she visits.

Edison provides practical tools to build sustainable, planet-positive outcomes while navigating the unspoken rules that block innovation from becoming global reality. Her pioneering frameworks are credited with helping startup ecosystems thrive locally and globally, while her inclusive methodology ensures diverse voices and perspectives become integral to business success, creating lasting economic impact with a commitment to unite our global community.

Your mentoring started with incredible business insights, but what stayed with us the most was the confidence and courage you helped us find. Even though we knew it wouldn’t be easy to solidify our business structure in such a short time, we boldly pivoted and pitched our product, and it was all thanks to you.
