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.
