Texas Women In Tech - Meetup

AI isn’t the future, it’s the competitive edge shaping the market right now. But most conversations stop at theory.

This session is about execution, how leaders in tech, data, and AI are delivering measurable business outcomes today.

We’ll pull back the curtain on real-world case studies from industries like oil & gas, finance, and consumer goods, where AI isn’t just being explored, it’s being deployed to grow revenue, cut costs, and create market advantage.

You’ll learn:

• How top leaders move AI from “innovation project” to enterprise impact
• Practical ways to apply AI and data in your role or business within the next 90 days
• Frameworks for making faster, better, data-informed decisions
• How to speak the language of both business results and technical execution

Who should attend:
Women who lead, or are ready to lead, in tech, data, and AI. Whether you’re driving corporate strategy, launching a startup, or influencing change within your team, this is about equipping you to execute with impact.

Breaking into AI and data leadership doesn’t mean starting from scratch.

The truth? You already have 70–80% of the skills you need. You just have to translate them into this new language of leadership.

In this session, we’ll show you how to pivot your career into tech, data, and AI roles by leveraging your existing expertise.

We’ll walk through an AI Transition Blueprint, a proven framework for identifying transferable skills, filling strategic gaps, and positioning yourself for high-impact opportunities.

You’ll learn:

• How to map your current skills directly to AI and data leadership roles
• The fastest ways to build credibility without a technical degree
• Where the real leadership demand is emerging in AI—and how to prepare for it
• How to make your AI career pivot visible to decision-makers and sponsors

Data doesn’t drive impact, decisions do. And the leaders who can move from data to decisive action quickly are the ones shaping the market.

In this session, we’ll break down Decision Intelligence, the leadership skill of turning complex data into clear, confident, and strategic action. You’ll learn how top leaders use data not just to inform choices, but to accelerate execution and create measurable results.

You’ll learn:

• How to move from “analysis paralysis” to confident, timely decisions
• The frameworks leaders use to align data insights with business priorities
• How to translate data into a language that boards, executives, and teams act on
• Ways to design decision dashboards that keep you focused on what matters most

Launching an AI pilot is easy. Scaling it into a company-wide success story? That’s leadership.

In this session, we’ll tackle the execution gap, the reason so many AI initiatives stall after the pilot phase. You’ll learn how leaders navigate governance, align stakeholders, and manage change to take AI from “interesting experiment” to enterprise-level impact.

You’ll learn:

• Why pilots stall and how leaders keep momentum
• Governance structures that make AI scale sustainably
• How to secure buy-in from executives, business units, and tech teams
• Change management moves that turn resistance into adoption

What you’ll walk away with:
A 5-Step AI Scaling Plan you can apply immediately to your own organization, whether you’re managing a project now or preparing for the next opportunity.
