About Maisie Holder
My name is Maisie Holder, I’m an accomplished technology and innovation leader, currently serving as Chief Operating Officer at the World Summit AI. My career has spanned strategic growth, community building, and high-impact program delivery. I’m responsible for shaping internationally renowned AI summits and platforms that bring together leaders spanning industry, academia, government, and startups.
Further, I am the Managing Director at InspiredMinds!, the organisation behind the summit. I drive the team forward in our mission to spread AI4Good across healthcare, education, STEM and government-level AI. We want to ensure that AI is available to all economies, countries and cultures, and have so far built the world’s largest and most active AI community of over 500,000 members in 160+ countries.
My career has been built around a clear mission: to ensure emerging tech is developed responsibly, inclusively, and with real-world societal impact. Over the past several years, I’ve been central in the development of World Summit AI from a relatively local but high-impact conference to a truly global community and platform. I am deeply involved in developing and 3x3cuting the summit’s vision and mission.
For the summit, I oversee strategic direction, international partnerships, programme development, cross-sector engagement and more. It is my responsibility to ensure we remain a voice for credible, relevant, and responsible real-world adoption of AI.
My work is about more than promoting events. The Summit isn’t merely another trade exhibition show, instead we’re pursuing the development of infrastructure for global collaboration. In my time with the Summit, I’ve helped to convene thousands of decision makers from all around the world and across various industries to neutrally discuss complex issues in relation to AI.
In particular, I take pride in my contributions to positioning the summit as a catalyst for policy-informed change and dialogue. Throughout the years, I have championed themes including responsible AI governance, generative AI, and accelerated adoption, ensuring that conversation moves beyond hot air into practical implementation.
Diverse representation within technology is a passion of mine. I’ve actively been involved in championing greater representation of women in AI and emerging tech across the world. As a woman in technology leadership, I am proactive in ensuring diverse speaker representation and initiatives that make high-level tech conversations more accessible to underrepresented groups.
I am committed to building purpose-driven communities that amplify diverse voices and promote accessibility within technology. Ultimately, I want to bridge the gap between cutting-edge tech and real-world societal benefits.
