981 Stephanie Georges: Female Power & Dignity

How Meraki Dignity Project Helps Women Lead with Strength and Authenticity

When a bill comes in the mail, we can ignore it. Problem is, it doesn’t go away. It just gets bigger. So too with all things AI. Ignoring it is like ignoring the Internet in around 1998. 

For AI to work for us and not against us, it’s vital women step up both to shape its development, and its application. 

Stephanie Georges, the co-founder of the Meraki Dignity Project, is doing just that with her immersive AI platform dedicated to restoring dignity for women over 50.

Stephanie began her career as a top-ranked Wall Street analyst during the telecom deregulation era before moving into C-suite roles in telecommunications and technology, and all too often found herself the only woman in the room. She’s spent four decades guiding organizations through disruption, reinvention and large-scale transformation, and as a Harvard Advanced Leadership Initiative Senior Fellow, Stephanie began to think about how to restore and reimagine dignity, equity and agency for women.

The Meraki Dignity Project offers evidence-based and women-informed resources to foster an empowered community, focused on helping women get past the pitfalls of the traditional zero-sum narrative around gender equity. She says true dignity is expansive and inherent, and that community, clarity, and a mindset of abundance are crucial to systems-level change. Today we talk about overcoming persistent barriers like the pay gap and venture funding inequalities, to the importance of listening, supporting, and lifting each other up. And yes, we talk about AI—in particular, why women’s voices are needed to make AI work for us as women.
