AI Transformation & Governance Speaker | Founder - Afrodeities Institute
United Kingdom
4.5
(2)
Chinenye Egbuna Ikwuemesi is a business and technology transformation professional with more than 25 years of experience working across data, analytics and enterprise systems in complex organisations. Alongside her work in technology and organisational change, she has spent many years researching African civilisational knowledge systems and the governance principles embedded in them. Her work explores how ideas such as Ma’at, Ifá and Ubuntu can inform modern discussions about leadership, institutional design and ethical decision-making in an AI-driven world. Chinenye is the founder of the Afrodeities Institute, an independent research initiative examining African mythology, history and knowledge systems as forms of civilisational infrastructure. Her speaking and writing connect two fields that are rarely brought together: the realities of modern technological transformation and the long historical traditions that societies have used to organise power, responsibility and collective decision-making. Drawing on both corporate experience and historical research, she explores how institutions can think more deeply about governance, risk and consequence as artificial intelligence becomes embedded in organisational systems. Chinenye speaks on topics including AI governance, organisational transformation, African knowledge systems and the relationship between history, power and modern institutions. She can help CHROs, boards, and transformation leaders encode intelligence before layering AI, using decision systems that were designed to survive disruption, not just manage it.

My name is Kailey Peckford (she/her) and I am a queer, white settler raised in amiskwaciwâskahikan (ᐊᒥᐢᑲᐧᒋᐋᐧᐢᑲᐦᐃᑲᐣ), Treaty 6 territory, colonially known as Edmonton, Alberta. After working in sexual violence prevention across several Albertan universities, I noticed a critical gap: accessible, high-quality education for the broader community—especially workplaces—was largely missing. Much of the available sexual harassment training is superficial, designed to meet compliance requirements rather than to educate meaningfully. These programs often lack input from subject matter experts and ignore best practices in adult learning. Meanwhile, sexual assault centres offer excellent, research-informed training but are typically underfunded and overextended. To bridge this gap, I founded For Better Consent Education in 2025. For Better's mission is to connect workplaces and organizations with evidence-based, engaging training on sexual violence prevention, including sex education as a core component of primary prevention. With a background in sociology and research focused on public drinking establishments, I bring both subject-matter expertise and real-world insight to the development of For Better's workshops. Drawing on years of facilitation and public speaking experience, I ensure each session is interactive, practical, and grounded in best practices for adult education.

I didn’t plan to become a dog rehabilitation specialist. I have a history degree and a background in marketing, publishing, news, venture capital, and oil and gas — I built a career in communication and business development and never imagined this would be my path. But at the lowest point of my life, when I didn’t want to live anymore, I got Kenny. I loved him more than I loved myself, so I got out of bed to meet his needs — and in caring for him, I slowly started healing. As our relationship grew, I learned about my own nervous system, trauma, and regulation. I trained him, then other dogs, then dogs labeled “aggressive” and scheduled for euthanasia — and one day someone asked me what I charge, and I realized this wasn’t just survival, it was purpose. Today, Kenny is not only my service dog but my partner in rehabilitation, and the work I do giving people hope — helping them see change they thought was impossible — is the reason I live, because I know what it feels like to believe nothing could ever be different… and to discover that it can be.
