ABOUT ASHLEE V. DAVIDSON

Executive leader.
Speaker. Creator of
Speak Your Brand™.

Ashlee V. Davidson helps women and leaders show up with clarity, confidence and conviction in every room they enter.

Leadership experience that informs the work

Ashlee V. Davidson is an award-winning corporate communications and branding executive, speaker, facilitator and founder of Speak Aberrant.
For more than two decades, Ashlee has built her career in the aerospace and defense industry, holding leadership roles at Sikorsky Aircraft, L3Harris and Lockheed Martin. She has advised senior executives, led high-visibility communications and branding initiatives and helped organizations navigate transformation, change and defining moments.
Today, Ashlee serves as a vice president of corporate communications and branding. Her experience spans executive communications, employee engagement, organizational reputation, brand strategy, marketing, social impact and enterprise communications.
Throughout her career, Ashlee has learned that doing excellent work is only part of building an influential career. Leaders must also be able to articulate their value, advocate for themselves, strengthen their visibility and enter important rooms with confidence.
That belief became the foundation of Speak Aberrant.

Creating space for women to be seen and heard

Through Speak Aberrant, Ashlee helps women and leaders challenge limiting expectations, embrace
their individuality and lead with greater intention.

She is the creator of Speak Your Brand™, a signature leadership framework and transformational experience designed to help participants define what they want to be known for, speak about their value with conviction and take purposeful action toward the opportunities they want.
Built around five pillars—Define Your Brand, Speak with Conviction, Move Relentlessly, Be Seen on Purpose and Lead with Presence—Speak Your Brand™ combines candid storytelling, practical tools and guided reflection participants can immediately apply to their careers and leadership.
Ashlee brings the perspective of someone who has lived this work, not simply studied it. Her approach is honest, energizing and grounded in the realities of building a career, finding your voice and leading in rooms where you may be the first, the only or one of very few.

Why this work
matters to me

“I created Speak Your Brand™ because I have seen too many brilliant and capable women enter rooms fully prepared, yet still question whether they belong. I know what it means to build a career in spaces where you may be the only one. I also know that hard work alone does not guarantee that your value will be recognized. My work helps women define what they want to be known for, communicate their value without shrinking and move intentionally toward the opportunities they deserve. Women don’t need permission to take up space. They need the confidence to speak their brand.”

Beyond the Stage
