About

Jess Cruse, global speaker, speaking coach, storyteller, and Founder of Voxa

Every person carries a story worth telling.

For over a decade, I've worked at the intersection of voice, story, and equity, coaching founders, executives, and emerging leaders across more than thirty countries. From UNICEF and development agencies to global accelerators and stages across Europe, the MENA Region, and Sub-Saharan Africa.

British by background, working globally, I bring a cross-cultural lens to every conversation.

My work lives in five places: speaking, coaching, writing, workshops, and Voxa, the AI-powered platform I founded to help a billion people be heard.

"Your voice is your equity. Story is how you spend it."

My work rests on five things

01

Story

The human thread. What we carry, shape, speak, and live.

02

Voice

How story becomes heard. Spoken, written, embodied.

03

Equity

Who gets heard, who gets overlooked, and why it matters.

04

Kindness

The method. Meeting people where they are. Never shaming.

05

Culture

The worldview. Cross-cultural, global, multilingual, human.

Stories from the globe, paired with kindness.

I speak at conferences, summits, accelerators, and corporate stages worldwide. Each talk is shaped to the room, but the spine is always the same: clear, warm, and human.

Voxa is your friendly pocket coach.

Voxa helps you to find and share your voice, wherever, whenever. It's AI-powered and multilingual.

I built a tool because too many people are silent, and I came to learn that tech can be used for so much good.

It's built on a belief I've carried for years: every voice matters, and every story deserves a chance to be heard.
