Jimena
Serfaty
Five languages. 90+ countries. Eight months from London to Singapore without a single flight. A business built from nothing, on my own terms, in a second language.
I didn't take the conventional path. I didn't want it. It wasn't for me.
The Real
Story
I'm Jimena — most people call me Jimmy.
I grew up in Argentina being told to pick one thing. Settle. Be grateful. I didn't listen.
I've lived in Argentina, New Zealand, Australia, Spain, and now London. Built a business alone without a roadmap. Discovered LEGO at 38 and made it an obsession. Five languages, fluent in two, understand the rest.
None of it was linear. All of it was mine.
Now I'm a keynote speaker based in London. On stage I tell stories that make people feel seen — the ones who were told their way was wrong, that they were too much, that they needed to pick one thing.
The unconventional path was never the wrong one.
Keynote Talks
I speak to founders, teams, and rooms full of multi-passionate people who were told to pick one thing and didn't. No motivational fluff. Story first.
The Day I Stopped Asking
You know exactly what you want. You've known for a while. You're just waiting for the right moment, the right people, the right sign. You've been ready longer than you think. Stop waiting for everyone else's approval. Back yourself. Just go.
Best for: founder events, women's leadership, university keynotes, Latino/Latina audiences
Too Many Tabs Open
For the person who has been told to pick one thing their whole life. The one with too many ideas, too many interests, too many directions at once. This talk is for the ones who were told they were scattered, unfocused, doing too much. You weren't. You were just in the wrong room.
Best for: entrepreneur summits, career conferences, corporate L&D, creative communities
You Were Never Meant to Fit In
You've been performing a version of yourself that doesn't quite fit for long enough, covering up, toning down, shrinking to belong somewhere that was never built for you. This talk is about what happens when you stop performing and start building something that actually fits.
Best for: diversity and inclusion programmes, founder communities, leadership offsites
Available for: keynotes, panels, podcasts, community events, and workshops.
Formats: 20 to 60 minutes. In person and virtual.
Languages: English and Spanish.
