Hey there, this is Nyna Caputi!

I am what one might call an accidental expat.

I came to the US in 2002 to study film and stayed on because I fell in love and got married to a San Francisco local.

It all happened very quickly and I hadn’t really prepared for this life-changing move abroad.

I had to face many hurdles with looking for a job, making friends and dealing with a new culture.

This led me to connect with other expat women who were also learning to navigate the country and after forays into film, working in the non-profit field including helping immigrant professionals find jobs in the US, I founded and launched The Expat Woman in 2013 in San Francisco.

I quickly grew a network of expatriate women to 13k strong and fostered a community that provided a platform for collaboration, networking, and sharing of resources.

I am also a LinkedIn coach, consultant, trainer and speaker. LinkedIn played a huge role in my professional journey abroad, helping me build a network of powerful expat women and allies.

"Finding the Expat Woman was like finding a new family. Navigating your way around a new country can be challenging as it is and being an introvert made things even harder for me. But the people I met at these events not only helped me overcome my inhibitions but they also enriched my life immensely by sharing their experiences and knowledge. It is comforting yet humbling to know that there are so many smart professional women out there who are ready to help you if you need something. Whether you want to find a mentor, or need advice or just network with smart individuals, the Expat Woman events are the place to go."
