Collete Davis challenges the notion of what women can accomplish. In a sport that combines adrenaline, speed, and risk taking, Collete’s unique understanding of engineering and science has resulted in a resume stacked with victories in sport, open-wheel racecars and Monster Jam trucks. As an established racecar driver, stunt driver, entrepreneur and national TV Host, Collete has numerous wins under her belt across multiple forms of racing, and is the driver of the 12,000lb Wonder Woman Monster Jam truck.
She graduated from Embry-Riddle Aeronautical Entrepreneurship at 16, and at 18, she moved to Silicon Valley for mentorship with VC Tim Draper at Draper University. Collete is driven to popularize STEM for the masses and share her story to encourage female empowerment in male dominated industries, challenging the very notion of what a woman can be in today’s world. In 2017, she hosted ‘Girl Starter,’ a competition TV show for female entrepreneurs on TLC. Collete is also one of Microsoft’s “People of Action,” where she promotes STEM education and women empowerment internationally with the organization.
