Becki Wright is the Founder and CEO of Proximity: software powering democracy. She is a strategist and nationally recognized voice on leadership, authenticity, and modern civic engagement.
Becki launched Proximity after witnessing how outdated systems and disconnected tools make public service harder than it should be—and how leadership becomes more effective when leaders have the right infrastructure to succeed. Proximity supports customers nationwide, winning campaigns and awards, and saving leaders hours of time and hundreds of thousands of dollars while deepening engagement with those they serve.
Becki’s work sits at the intersection of technology, politics, and community with a focus on effective leadership. She is a frequent keynote speaker and panelist on innovation, women in leadership, and civic trust. Her candid and practical perspective challenges audiences to rethink how we lead and connect, and how technology can strengthen democracy rather than distance us from each other.
