Let's learn more about AI from Andrea:

1. Share your AI origin story

   
   

   My career in biotech, pharma, and healthcare as a talent professional gives me an insider’s view of what makes executives and leaders successful. I’ve worked with top organizations, built succession plans for CEOs’ direct reports, and placed leaders in mission-critical roles. I understand the nuances of leadership, diversity, and corporate decision-making at the highest levels.

   
   

   Pivotal Moment: Recognizing that traditional search processes were slow and inefficient, I saw an opportunity to integrate AI into talent assessment and executive hiring. I realized that AI could help identify leadership gaps, predict performance potential, and streamline search processes.

   
   

   Pivotal Moment: Realizing that AI isn’t just a tool for automation but a strategic partner that could empower professionals, entrepreneurs, and investors in ways that weren’t previously possible.

   This evolution aligns with my larger mission: leveraging AI to create access to wealth, leadership, and economic opportunity for underrepresented groups.

Special Series: Women's History Month

1. How do you envision AI shaping the future of women's rights and opportunities?

   
   

   We have an opportunity to get in early and lead while others hesitate. This is a generational opportunity to be at the forefront, something not previously possible for our mother’s and grandmothers.

2. What strategies have you employed to overcome gender-related obstacles in your AI career?

   
   

   I’m an early adopter (relatively speaking.) I’m learning, teaching and advocating for more women to participate. I’m with others creating a lane so I’m not aware of any obstacles.

   
   

3. What advice would you give to young women aspiring to enter the field of AI?

   
   

   Get in early and lead from the front. Be visible and vocal.

   
   

4. How do you think AI can be leveraged to celebrate and preserve women's history?

   
   

   We can add to the archives as we build it.
