Dr. Natalie Petouhoff

With over 14 years in AI, Dr. Natalie is changing the narrative from a dystopian future to an unparalleled and limitless opportunity. As a key founder of The Women in Generative AI’s Leadership Council, she is helping to lead us to this new future. It’s not about the technology, it’s about the people. We must take this opportunity to transform the future of AI, or we jeopardize our destiny. To do that, we must ruthlessly examine our true motivations, who we’re being, and the choices, decisions, and actions we take based on that awareness. Dr. Natalie’s relentless optimism about AI's potential provides a bright light in the storm. She cares about the truth and the truth is we’re scared. But we need not be if we connect with each other, are honest with ourselves, and come together to identify solutions to our blind spots.

As a former rocket scientist, she is uniquely qualified to help executives demystify AI with inspiring stories about actual applications illuminating the path toward an AI-driven future where businesses thrive, and people feel seen and heard. Her role in companies as the AI Executive Whisper is to get to the root cause of why we do what we do and solve the biggest challenges by delivering value through tangible business results. Her strategies are based on lived experiences, and proven, real-world case studies. They work. And she has proof.

Dr. Natalie believes, “We can create organizations focused on bettering humanity by transforming companies with empathy and at the same time empowering business’s profitability. We just have to know what we are optimizing for and why - especially with AI.”
