Her life blends technology leadership and endurance sport in a way that shows how courage, grit, and kindness can change both business and people. She is known for stepping into hard work, building others up, and pushing the boundaries-whether in the boardroom or across a marathon finish line. She believes success is not just about winning but about helping others discover their own potential.
She works in top technology roles, guiding companies through digital transformations and major changes. She has led big teams and served in C-Suite positions for global firms.

She has led some of the world’s largest companies to achieve strong results while caring about people, culture, and performance. Her work includes saving tens of millions of dollars for global businesses, scaling technology operations across many countries, and inspiring teams with her hands-on approach.
In parallel with her professional career she is an elite endurance athlete. She has completed over 141 races, including Ironman 70.3 events, marathons, ultra-runs, long swim events, and grueling team races. She has raced across America, swum with Navy SEALs, run through wilderness settings, and competed on big global stages. Every race is more than just athletics—each one is a way for her to test herself, inspire others, and show what steady effort can achieve. She often describes sports as a mirror of life, where every mile requires discipline, focus, and heart.
Her work is shaped by mentorship and community. Rhonda mentors students, business people, athletes, and young leaders around the world. She has spoken in many countries, sharing her insights on leadership, resilience, and being a “corporate athlete”-which she defines as bringing stamina, integrity, discipline, and wellness into work as much as sports. She has trained teams, managed large organisations, and served on boards of nonprofits, conservation groups, educational institutions, and sport organisations. She believes that leadership means lifting others, especially those who may not have the same opportunities, and she puts this belief into action every day.
Recognition has followed her efforts. She has been named among the most powerful women in technology multiple years in a row. Awards for transforming business, leadership excellence, impact in tech inclusion, and influence in the business world all reflect her strong reputation. Media outlets like Forbes, CNBC, Huffington Post, Triathlete Magazine, and others have featured her journey and lessons. Her influence stretches across continents, making her a trusted voice in both business and sport.
Rhonda’s passion also includes STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Mathematics) advocacy and environmental stewardship. She was inducted as Global STEM Ambassador in India and has lent her voice and time to conservation work, especially in Africa. She helped launch a biodiversity park, supports wildlife preservation, and engages with communities to inspire girls and young people to see what is possible through education and perseverance. Her efforts show that leadership is not only about business—it is also about leaving the world better than it was before.
She is also an author. Her book Grit & Grind explores how confidence and strength are built not by avoiding challenges, but by facing them. Real life stories, practical lessons, and a 10-part practice make it a guide for anyone wanting to grow in resilience. She also co-authored a special edition “Enterprise Service Management for Dummies,” drawing from her deep technology leadership and operations experience to help professionals navigate complex challenges.
Above all, Rhonda Vetere lives by action. She does not wait. Whether it is leading technology projects, racing long distances, speaking in front of students or business audiences, or funding conservation causes, she steps forward. She believes strongly that how one faces challenges matters more than the challenges themselves. In her journey she invites others to join, learn, grow, and make meaningful impact. Her life shows that strength, grace, and purpose can go hand in hand, and that success is always richer when it is shared with others.
If someone wants an example of living courageously—where work, sports, community, and values all meet—Rhonda Vetere shows how it can be done.
