BIO:

Molly Bloom is an inspirational keynote speaker, entrepreneur, and bestselling author of

Molly’s Game. She is best known for her memoir, Molly’s Game, which was adapted

into an award-winning film of the same name by Aaron Sorkin. Bloom’s memoir

chronicles her journey from college student to LA waitress to building and operating the

largest and most notorious private poker game in the world. Her games featured

hundreds of millions of dollars and players like Leonardo DiCaprio, Tobey Maguire, A-

Rod, and Ben Affleck.

Bloom began her career as a world-class skier. While training as a pre-teen she was

diagnosed with severe scoliosis and had to undergo surgery that the doctors said would

end her athletic career. A year later, fully recovered, she was back on the slopes. She

later joined the U.S. Ski Team and at 21 years old was ranked No. 3 in North America in

moguls, but her Olympic dreams would go unrealized as she left the team to pursue

other projects. This led her to what she thought would be a year sabbatical in LA.

Bloom was finishing her degree in Political Science from the University of Colorado –

Boulder, and was in the process of applying to top tier Law Schools, when her assistant

job turned her into an accidental entrepreneur, running one of the most exclusive, high-

stakes underground poker games in the world, pulling in as much as $4 million per year.

What happened next is where her story truly begins.

The film Molly’s Game, written and directed by Aaron Sorkin, stars Jessica Chastain (as

Molly), Idris Elba, Kevin Costner, Michael Cera, Brian d’Arcy James, and Chris O’Dowd.

Bloom has appeared on numerous shows and in media outlets such as Ellen, Vice, The

Los Angeles Times, NPR, Vulture, and has been asked to speak at Fortune’s Most

Powerful Women, for companies like Blackrock Financial, SiriusXM Radio, and

delivered the 2018 commencement speech at Colorado State University.
