I’ve dedicated my 20-year career to understanding human behaviour. In particular, I have focused on how humans interact with technology and businesses. I’ve learned a lot about the elements that shape an experience and what makes an experience memorable for the right reasons, and of course the wrong reasons. I’ve worked in UX agencies, and for large organisations including the BBC, National Air Traffic Services, and Bournemouth University. For the last 12 years, I have run a user experience consultancy working with top-tier clients including Financial Times, Siemens, Vitality, and Burberry. My current role at Ipsos is UX Director for Europe where I inspire UX teams to deliver best practice UX for our clients who range from Google, Facebook, Amazon, BMW, and L'oreal.

I'm driven by a personal mission to instill joy in Monday morning for leaders and their teams. Employee engagement data tells a narrative of an overwhelmingly disengaged workforce, which robs employees of their happiness and their employers of productivity and innovation. To help solve this global issue, I work with CEOs, executives, and small business owners to help them build engaging workplace cultures. After spending nearly a decade leading multi-generational marketing and sales teams and consulting on high-performance and leadership, I know what truly drives peak achievement, high workplace engagement, and career satisfaction—and it’s not unlimited PTO and big bonuses. It’s how well leaders combine purpose-inspired work with clear strategies and objectives that set their teams up for success and fulfillment. I co-launched a podcast that reached #1, #2, and #3 on the iTunes New and Noteworthy list in Education, Technology, and Business respectively. I'm the author of Fruition Power: Achieve More, Lead Well, & Conquer Overwhelm.

Kagonya Awori is the User Experience and Design Lead at Safaricom PLC. She has over 10 years experience in UX from all over the world including in Kenya, the UK and Australia. Kagonya guesstimates that she is one of less than 10 women in Africa with both a strong academic background and seasoned professional experience in Human-Computer Interaction (HCI) - which is the field from which UX stems. It is no wonder that at her current role, she is leading the structure and practice of UX at the largest company in East and Central Africa ( that is Safaricom PLC). Kagonya gained her academic background from four continents, a feat that makes her educational journey quite unique. She has a PhD in Computer Engineering from the University of Melbourne, , Australia ( she specialised in Human-Computer Interaction); a Masters in Human-Computer Interaction from Carnegie Mellon University (USA); and a Bachelors in Business Information Technology from Strathmore University, Kenya. The fourth continent is Europe given that her Masters degree was a dual one from CMU USA and CMU Portugal. In 2012, Kagonya was part of the team that founded the iHub UX Lab, which was the first Design lab in East Africa dedicated to UX. She then went on to found WananCHI, an ACM SIGCHI local chapter, and co-hosted the first Tajriba, an annual UX workshop for students and entrepreneurs. Also in 2012, Kagonya co-created the Umati project, with the aim of investigating and curbing online hate speech. Umati was the first project globally to collect, analyse and synthesise hate speech reports en masse using Machine Learning and Natural Language Processing. Intent on promoting Human-Computer Interaction (HCI) in and from Africa, Kagonya was technical co-chair for the inaugural conference for HCI in Africa, AfriCHI, in 2016. In 2014, Kagonya received the Google Anita Borg award for demonstrating outstanding academic achievement, leadership and community involvement in Computer Engineering, and received the Human Computer Interface/ Interaction Design Award sponsored by Microsoft Research SocialNUI Centre in 2016. All these achievements and experiences have motivated Kagonya to explore technology design outside academia and employment. Together with her elder brother, Kagonya is the co-founder of Acacia Neuron, a health technology company that builds intelligent solutions to improve the experiences of clinicians and patients. Acacia Neuron has two products at various stages of growth. The first is a touchless biometric platform for facilitating secure access to information, while the second is a digital assistant based on Natural Language Processing of African languages. What motivates Kagonya is the creation of technologies that solve African problems in ways that closely resemble African cultures, peoples, resources, knowledges and ways of life. In her free time, Kagonya greatly enjoys road trips, swimming, occasional hiking and mentoring young women.

I'm a freelance garden designer with a passion to creating green spaces designed to not only look good, but feel good too. I'm not a climate change activist and I like the finer things in life. But I do think we have lost the connection with nature and I hope to restore it by designing spaces that encourage people spending more time outside. As someone that was not born in UK, I've had to battle with impostor syndrome and stigma of being from Eastern Europe before I was allowed to earn my stripes. Now I'm a female entrepreneur with a burning desire to expand my brand, grow my company and inspire other girls and women in the process.

He was born during apartheid South Africa, attended a high school in Zimbabwe, and then went on to complete his Bachelor’s and Master’s degrees in architecture at the most ethnically diverse university in the United States; Andrews University in the state of Michigan. These diverse experiences around the world have shaped his understanding of the different environments around him and the importance of inclusion, which embraces the cultural roots that different communities are drawn to. He brings a refreshing and insightful perspective to the topic of diversity that’s based on the power of listening to others. The principle of Listen to Understand, empowers him to form decisions on the basis that everyone has a seat at the table. Everyone has an equally weighted voice which translates to a collective vision of a space that is guaranteed to be representative and attractive to different cultural and contextual values. By acknowledging, respecting, and appreciating different value systems, diversity can thrive, allowing everyone to be heard. This creates a space that represents a community of inclusion and mutual understanding. That is the true power of ‘Listen to Understand’; it creates an atmosphere of physical and contextual sustainability. "Diversity is being invited to the party; inclusion is being asked to dance." - Verna Myers
