Alicia Navarro is a technology entrepreneur and executive coach known for building and scaling global digital businesses and for her work on focus, culture, and the future of work.
Born in Sydney to Spanish and Cuban parents and now based in London, Alicia has built an international career across Australia, Europe, and the United States. She founded Skimlinks in 2007, growing it from a living room startup into a leading content to commerce platform used by thousands of publishers worldwide, including Buzzfeed, Conde Nast, Hearst, and AOL. Spending more than a decade as CEO, she led the company to $50 million in annual revenues before stepping down ahead of its acquisition by Connexity in 2020.
After Skimlinks, Alicia became an Entrepreneur in Residence at firstminute and Breega Capital, qualified as an executive coach, and began advising founders and leadership teams on growth, resilience, and culture. She is now the founder and CEO of FLOWN, a platform designed to help knowledge workers achieve deep focus, accountability, and wellbeing in remote to hybrid environments, with particular impact for people with ADHD.
Alicia helps organisations build cultures that support innovation and sustained performance, drawing on her experience creating the distinctive team culture at Skimlinks and FLOWN. She shares practical insights into building and evolving products and businesses, grounded in real examples from raising venture funding during the 2008 financial crisis and successfully pivoting her company’s business model to reach scale and profitability.
Audiences gain concrete strategies for creating startup-style cultures within established organisations, techniques for maintaining focus in distracting work environments, and frameworks for innovative thinking when facing uncertainty. Alicia delivers these insights with vulnerability and authenticity, sharing both setbacks and successes from her entrepreneurial journey.
