About Us

Anastasia Lipske (fka Schuster) ~ Owner/Founder

Having booked more than 1,800 speaking engagements and podcast interviews on behalf of her clients it would be safe to say that Anastasia knows what it takes to get booked!

Before creating her speaker and podcast booking agency, she had more than thirty years of experience in the tourism industry. She gained vast event management experience and has been involved in more conferences than she can count. Her sales, marketing, and PR know-how helped her build credibility with international suppliers whom she helped grow their businesses.

Through creating women’s retreats and organizing social media conferences, Anastasia has first-hand knowledge of the other side of booking speakers. She speaks the language of speaker chairs and meeting planners who are tasked with finding great speakers for their meetings and events. Her agency also books clients as guests on podcasts as that industry continues to grow. It pleases Anastasia to know that she is helping people grow their businesses and better brand themselves as speakers and or podcast guests allowing them to share their powerful messages with more people in the world!

Lorena Gies ~ CGO - Chief Gig Officer

Lorena has oodles of experience in administrative work that make her the perfect person to offer support services to Access Speakers.

She spent 12 years working for the City of San Francisco assisting the top dogs in the Controller's Office and the Mayor's Office. She then slowed her pace down when her kids were young by working in their elementary school's office. A good way to keep tabs on them too! Brilliant!

From there Anastasia lured her into supporting her new business and Lorena's been keeping this company running smoothly ever since. From the moment a speaking engagement or podcast interview is booked she handles the rest to make certain the speaker and or podcast guest along with the speaker chair and or podcast host/producer have what they need to ensure a great presentation or interview.
