Francie Whittenburg traded a life of Texas privilege—heiress, pilot, rancher, and businesswoman—for the bright lights of Beverly Hills. Along the way, she collected a constellation of friends: movie stars, bestselling authors, political insiders, and a few who knew the White House better than most.
Francie has flown both jets and helicopters, built and led successful companies, and served on a variety of boards. Her sharp mind and vivid imagination, paired with a talent for storytelling, make her as compelling in conversation as she is in business.
Francie earned mentions in Vanity Fair, The New York Times, Hollywood Reporter, and Beverly Hills 213 as a well-connected hostess. Two of her close friends held positions in the White House, offering her rare insights into its inner workings.
An experienced public speaker, Francie brings her wealth of adventures, encounters, and unexpected wisdom to the stage—with plenty of stories that are as insightful as they are entertaining.
A lifelong Christian, Francie now lives on the island of St. Croix in the Caribbean, still full of stories—and always ready for the next chapter.
