Magdalene Amegashitsi is a trailblazing Data & AI strategist with 10+ years helping organisations turn complex data into clear strategy. With an academic foundation in econometrics and a career spanning advanced analytics, machine learning, and digital transformation, she pairs technical depth with a values-first lens. She’s also the founder of the Global Queens Community, focused on bridging the gap between the underrepresented and the thriving, and is also now launching her own data & AI venture!

We dive into her path from languages and econometrics into AI leadership; how to communicate technical truth when you’re the only dissenting voice in the room; and why “conscious, values-led” leadership is non-negotiable in AI. Magdalene unpacks her idea of “forever mentors,” the real difference between mentorship and sponsorship, and how to build legacy without burning out — all while balancing entrepreneurship and motherhood.
