Karen Jacobsen, known as The GPS Girl®, is an Australian-born entertainer, singer, songwriter, voiceover artist, and motivational speaker. Inspired at age seven by Olivia Newton-John, she moved from a small town near the Great Barrier Reef to New York City to pursue her singing dream. In 2002, a single voice-over job changed everything. Her calm Australian voice was recorded for GPS navigation systems and ended up in over 400 million to 1 billion devices worldwide, including smartphones. From this, she built her empowerment brand “The GPS Girl,” delivering inspiring keynotes on navigating change using her “Five Directions for Recalculating” in business and life. She blends storytelling, motivation, and live music in her talks, has performed the national anthem at major stadiums, released multiple albums, and appeared in global media outlets such as People Magazine and the New York Times.
