Kristine Sargsyan has more than 20 years of experience in coaching and consulting experience in NGO and business companies. But the long-waited awakening began when Ms. Sargsyan co-founded TEDxYerevan with Alexis Ohanian. However, it was the TED talk of the brain researcher Jill Bolte Taylor that turned Ms. Sargsyan’s life around. She was always fond of the human brain and hungry for big ideas, and TED only proved to feast on that! 50 TEDx events were organized in Armenia. In 2010, Ms. Sargsyan established ThinkStudio, a public speaking and leadership consulting initiative. Kristine used the methods created in ThinkStudio to coach high ranked officials and Silicon Valley enterprisers to tell their stories from TEDx stage. In 2016 she was invited to teach at the American University of Armenia as a Professor of Business Communication. In 2019 Ms. Sargsyan joined PicsArt as Leadership Advisor and Executive Coach for mid-level and C-Level management.
