Lamiaa Daif Speaker Biography
Lamiaa Diaf has spent more than 15 years driving growth in some of the world’s most demanding environments — from investing at Europe’s largest private equity fund to leading global revenue strategy at Apple in Silicon Valley.
A Stanford GSB alumna, Lamiaa combines deep business expertise with leadership development. She has personally navigated the pivots she now helps others make, reinventing her own path from finance to tech and from burnout to alignment. Through this journey, she discovered that success isn’t about pushing harder — it’s about upgrading the operating system.
This insight led her to create the Inside-Out Model®, a proven framework that enables leaders to break through plateaus, align strategy with purpose, and take bold, clear action in both business and life.
Today, Lamiaa speaks on global stages, coaches executives and founders, and advises teams navigating growth and exit strategies. Her experience spans Wall Street to Silicon Valley, bringing:
-M&A and private equity insight for businesses exploring exits
-Strategic advisory for companies scaling growth
-Executive coaching to unlock clarity and confidence in careers
