Irena Palamani Xhurxhi will help you own the call when you use AI

I’m an AI builder with an economist’s toolkit. I lead applied AI at Walmart, after four years at Amazon building AI solutions in marketing technology. I hold a PhD in Economics and taught for six years at Trinity College.

I founded Human Centered Intelligence, where I built GradLight, a companion for graduate students, and CareerMirror, a career intelligence platform. I believe AI should amplify what’s human in us, and everything I build and teach starts there.

My sessions are hands-on and built around live experiments, not slides about AI. You’ll test your own thinking, see what moves it, and leave with habits you can use at work the next day.

I also write, advise on AI in education and speak at conferences, and I share what I learn with 36,000+ people on LinkedIn.
