Ramyani shares her 25-year journey from being the only woman in engineering classes to leading digital, analytics, and AI across Northern Europe, while championing diversity and lifting other women as she climbed. She opens up about a defining early-career moment: being told to tone down her bold colours and emotions and why choosing authenticity became a turning point. Ramyani makes the case that AI is a once-in-a-generation opportunity for women because it rewards problem-solving, leadership, and collaboration, not just coding. Expect practical advice (passion, resilience, learning through failure), a look at major AI transformation programs she’s leading in banking and heavy industry, and a powerful call to use women’s “superpower” alongside technology to create lasting business and societal impact.
Ramyani Basu is a senior partner at Kearney.
