Hollie’s career highlights

• Producing startup events in Texas which resulted in sharing houmous with an astronaut
  and previous International Space Station Commander!
• Interviewing Myriam Côté, the Director of AI for Humanity at MILA, and finding out about
  the ‘technology for good’ projects she was working on – truly inspirational.
• Hosting Yoshua Bengio, one of the three pioneers of Deep Learning and a Turing Award
  Winner, as a speaker at a conference I organised in Canada to much audience acclaim.
• Assisting on my first International Event in Hong Kong, being thrown into the deep end
  and learning to swim – your first event is certainly one you don’t forget!

Unique fact

I am a Manx Dancer (Celtic dance from the Isle of Man), and love performing at festivals around
the world to learn about different cultures and traditions.
