Technology Leader and Accessibility Advocate

Pronouns: he/him

Brenden Gilbert’s 20+ year journey as a Technology Leader and Accessibility Advocate is rooted in his mother’s  strong belief in his abilities.

As a Deaf person, he’s experienced the challenges of a world that doesn’t consider the needs of people like him.  His mother never allowed these challenges to define him and constantly reminded him that he could achieve anything he set his mind to.

His experience spans multiple roles at companies such as IBM, Meta, Convo Communications, VSL Labs, and Tive Technology. Today, Brenden is driven to create a world where everyone can thrive. He collaborates with companies to revolutionize accessibility through technology and loves to speak on various technical and accessibility topics.
