Tanika’s knowledge of brand, branding and marketing come from a very deep place.

Formal Education

Tanika completed Executive Education in Brand Leadership at Columbia Business School and holds the Global MBA in Brand Management from Thunderbird, The Global School of Management. She holds a B.B.A. in International Business and Finance from Howard University.

Focus on Women

Tanika realizes that women are disproportionately impacted by McKinsey’s theory, “the broken rung of leadership”. This phenomenon is characterized by women being promoted to managerial positions at much lower rates than men and affects their personal brand reach, effectiveness and overall well being. She knows that women leaders want to advance, but face stronger headwinds than men, which include imposter syndrome and microaggressions that undermine their authority and lead to burnout

Tanika has 3 Keynotes dedicated to Professional Women:

1. How to Build HER Personal ‘WHY Brand’
2. How Burnout and Grief Forced Me To Rebirth My Personal Brand
3. Audacious Wellbeing for Women

As a woman who started her career on Wall Street and worked for Fortune 100 companies in the financial/energy sectors, Tanika knows the feeling of achievement, being successful and having imposter syndrome, all at the same time. She also knows what it feels like to be the only woman or person of color in the room or on a leadership team.

Tanika is passionate about helping individuals (particularly, women) and companies boldly unleash authenticity so that they can thrive.  She developed her legacy project, Rebirth U (Digital Brand University for Women) so that women all around the world can level-up on their brand know-how and build iconic and profitable brands.

She was honored by both the 18th Congressional District of Texas and the Mayor of the City of Houston for empowering women globally to become more knowledgeable about their company brand strategy and serving as a speaker and panelist for the Women’s Empowerment Seminar: “Building Pathways to Success”.

Fortune 100 Corporate Experience 

Tanika started her career in NYC (on Wall Street) as an AVP at J.P. Morgan Chase & Co. in Global Treasury and she had work experiences across the U.S. (including Puerto Rico), Canada and the UK.

She spent 11 years at Shell and was commissioned, as the de facto Chief Brand Officer, to make brave iconic moves that challenged conventional norms and changed the business trajectory, by developing the brand for a newly created business unit. As a senior leadership team member, Tanika owned brand strategy, positioning, naming architecture, measurement, marketing strategy, segmentation and organizational design.  She directed and delivered the company’s first brand launch to an industry audience of 56,000.

Tanika also created a unified culture and tribe through 2,000+ hours of brand evangelism and education training, and powerful experience-based engagements with employees and senior leaders. She led her team to receive the “Best B2B Marketing Campaign Award” for the internal and external campaign to launch the billion $$$ brand at Royal Dutch Shell.  Her metrics-centered methods have generated over $100 Million in her career and enabled her to successfully develop, manage and launch billion-dollar valued brands.

Her passion for teaching and professional development led her to teach Marketing to adult-learners as an Adjunct Lecturer at the University of Houston, while working in the HR Tech fields at Kronos and Net IQ(now Attach Mate). Tanika has also built corporate brands in the energy sector for global clients in Mexico, Argentina and Brazil through her work at Tenaris, Inc.

Eye opening and inspirational session that brought the team together. She made it easy to be vulnerable and share or ask questions.

K.F., VP, CHIEF DEVELOPMENT OFFICER, HARRIS HEALTH

I recently attended a workshop by Tanika Vital-Pringle of Brand Rebirth, and I must say it was the fastest four hours I've ever experienced. Tanika's workshop was so engaging that I didn't want to leave my seat for even a minute. It helped me understand why and how I function daily, and I realized the importance of staying relevant and contributing to the organization daily. The workshop included global attendees with #CliftonStrengths34 profiles who learned that their personal brands represent a wealth of meaning. I highly recommend Tanika's workshop to anyone who wants to understand their WHY and how it can benefit their team. Whether you attend as a group or in a private session, there's no better way to start the new year than to know your WHY!
