After 26 years as a CEO leading organisations across education, innovation and social impact, Leonor Diaz Alcantara founded Saviesa in response to a growing concern: that as artificial intelligence becomes increasingly embedded within institutions and everyday life, societies risk losing the human capacities on which judgment, responsibility and meaningful participation depend.
Her work explores what it means to remain human in an AI-shaped world, with a particular focus on leadership, education, institutional life and human capability.
Across more than two decades of leadership, including roles at Montessori Global Education, RAFT Institute and Smart Matrix, Leonor became increasingly concerned not only with technological change itself, but with how institutions make decisions, exercise judgment and shape human development under conditions of acceleration and uncertainty.
Her current work includes The Leadership Renaissance, a global inquiry into leadership and authenticity in an AI world involving interviews with women across more than 30 countries, alongside Perspectives, Saviesa’s publication exploring the human implications of artificial intelligence across culture, leadership and public life.
Leonor works with institutions, leadership communities, educators and organisations seeking thoughtful engagement with the human implications of artificial intelligence across organisational life, learning and public culture.
Through Saviesa, she brings together educators, researchers, artists, institutional leaders and technologists to explore how societies can preserve judgment, responsibility, creativity and human dignity during a period of profound technological change
