Entrepreneur. Super Connector. Speaker

About Ingrid

I curate media, events, and marketplaces where the global Caribbean’s most remarkable people connect, build, and make money with each other and the world at the intersection of Tech, Wellness, and Culture.

That’s GridNet – rooted in years in tech, designed for everything that comes next.

For nearly two decades, I’ve been a community architect and super connector – convening the rooms where Caribbean innovation, capital, talent, and storytelling collide. From Kingston to NYC, Miami to London, Nairobi to the diaspora wherever it lives. Through SiliconCaribe and KingstonBETA, I produced 300+ events across 15 cities, reaching 100,000+ entrepreneurs, creatives, executives, investors, and changemakers.

But the work has always been bigger than tech.

With GridNet, I’m going deeper into what I’ve always done best – building the rooms where real things happen between remarkable people. Through premium storytelling, immersive events, and curated marketplaces, we spark connection, drive real business, and shape culture at the intersection of Tech, Wellness, and Culture.

This is the era of unparalleled opportunity for Caribbean and diaspora people. Anyone, anywhere can build something transformative. My job is to curate the rooms where that happens – and make sure our most remarkable people are in them.

I do this because I believe in Caribbean people. In Black people. In our power to build wealth-generating, culture-shifting businesses that redefine how we live, work, and play.

What people come to me for:

Event partnership and sponsorship with genuine access to the global Caribbean’s most engaged people and communities across Tech, Wellness, and Culture. Speaking and hosting – I’ve keynoted, moderated, and hosted across four continents.
