Fall Conference 25 Keynote Speaker Thursday Sabba Quidwai [1]

 

Dr. Sabba Quidwai is a speaker, author, and AI advisor who helps visionary leaders design human-centered systems that thrive in an AI-powered world. As the CEO of Designing Schools and a lecturer at the University of California, Irvine, Sabba blends research-backed strategy with real-world application.

A former Education Executive at Apple, Sabba has been researching the future of learning and AI since 2014. Her book and documentary Designing Schools explore how design thinking helps people lead through change with confidence and creativity. She believes cultures of innovation begin with cultures of empathy, where people feel seen, heard, and empowered to grow.

Sabba’s signature message? AI shouldn’t replace people, it should elevate them.

Through keynotes, coaching, and courses, she helps organizations build AI teams that work with humans, not around them, streamlining workflows, unlocking innovation, and building a future where leadership is both bold and deeply human.
