*WOMEN OF THE FUTURE PODCAST – KINDNESS & COURAGE: MEN AS ALLIES*

 

When you're onto a good thing, why stop?! We've decided to continue our brilliant new Women of the Future podcast series as it's proving incredibly popular with you lovely listeners.

The idea was conjured up by the wonderful Pinky Lilani herself - founder and chair of the Women of the Future Programme it’s awards and initiatives.

 

Introducing: ‘Kindness & Courage: Men as Allies’.

We will be joined on this podcast by prominent male figures from the world of business, entrepreneurship, tech and more, as we delve into the nuanced world of male allyship. Defined as the consistent and intentional efforts by men to support and advocate for gender equity and inclusion.

We have someone VERY special for you this week, who offered an incredibly moving and inspirational conversation.

But, how to describe Manon Dave’s career? He admits himself it isn’t easy… 

One thing's for sure, Manon is immensely impressive - sitting confidently, powerfully and magnetically at the intersection of entertainment, technology, storytelling and culture. 

 

A Creative Technologist, Product Designer, Musician & Founder Manon Dave is the principal lead A.I. engineer for will.i.am and Idris Elba, and the founder of multiple new business ventures focused on creating better A.I. equity for all. 

 

Manon’s adaptive experiences connect with audiences and evolve with feedback, into something quite extraordinary as he continues to push the boundaries of what A.I. can achieve in shaping the future of creativity and innovation.

 

One of Manon’s proudest moments was working alongside Framestore and Che Lingo, to produce original music for the Refugee Olympic Team. Combining live footage and generative A.I. to produce a graphic-novel-style showcase of the athletes which was shown at Cannes Lions and the opening ceremony of the Paris Olympics.
