Chatting to Clement Manyathela (Standing in for Bongani) is  — described by Forbes as a ‘Professional Mad Scientist’, named by the BBC among their 100 Women of the Year, and celebrated by the Financial Times as a leading LGBTQ+ executive and visionary. A theoretical neuroscientist, AI pioneer, and entrepreneur, Dr. Ming has advised governments, the World Economic Forum, and Fortune 500 companies on the future of work, leadership, and human potential.

Her work spans from designing AI systems that have reunited refugee children with their families, to AI tools that help leaders unlock creativity, inclusion, and performance inside organisations.
