Jane Smith, Field Chief Data & AI Strategy Officer, Europe, the Middle East and Africa (EMEA) at ThoughtSpot, will join the Future of Enterprise AI panel, exploring large-scale deployment, governance and measurable business value, with a focus on aligning AI initiatives with corporate objectives and accelerating transformation across complex organisations. Florence Mottay, Group CISO at Zalando, will participate in the Cybersecurity Forum fireside chat, discussing how AI is reshaping the security landscape, from AI-powered attacks and data vulnerabilities to practical strategies for safeguarding intelligent systems and building trust in an increasingly automated world.

Elisa Sai, vice president (VP), Analytics & AI at Capgemini Invent, highlights the summit's timely focus: "I'm really looking forward to speaking at AI LIVE and exchanging ideas with people shaping what comes next. This is an important moment to focus not simply on what AI can do, but on how leaders turn it into meaningful and responsible value."

From strategy to enterprise transformation

The speaker programme will address the critical shift from AI potential to practical, scalable application across industries. Markus Kede, Senior Vice President and Chief AI Officer at Lundbeck, will share insights on AI's transformative role in biopharma: "I'm thrilled to join the London AI Summit to discuss how biopharma is moving from AI experimentation to true enterprise transformation. Becoming a 'bionic company' is not just about adopting technology, it is about fusing AI, supercomputing and human neuroscience to compress discovery timelines from years to months and deliver life-changing therapies to patients faster."

Cayleigh O'Dwyer, AI Transformation & Culture Leader at Lloyds Banking Group, will explore the organisational capabilities required for AI success: "I'm looking forward to speaking at AI Live because it brings together leaders who are genuinely focused on turning AI potential into real-world impact.
