Crystal Isanda

Isanda Crystal Bitutu is an AI governance strategist ensuring technology and education don’t just innovate, but includes. Based in Nairobi, Kenya, I drive impactful change in education as a UNICEF Youth Foresight Fellow, consult on youth engagement at IREX, and shape policy through opportunities like the Diplo Foundation Apprenticeship.

With a Bachelor of Business Information Technology from Strathmore University, specializing in Business Intelligence, I turn data into action – crafting ethical AI policies and inclusive digital ecosystems that uplift children, youth, women, and marginalized communities worldwide.

Why? Because technology should be a bridge, not a barrier. I’ve mentored 50+ underrepresented women in AI, shaped youth-centric policies across the Commonwealth, and spearheaded research on equitable AI access – always asking: How can innovation serve humanity? My work has been featured on global platforms, from the YouLead Summit stage to the Commonwealth Trade Competitiveness Briefing Series.

Beyond the code, I’m a dreamer inspired by Nairobi’s energy and a mentor fueled by the potential I see in every young leader. I’d love to collaborate on shaping an AI-powered future that serves humanity. Connect with me at https://www.linkedin.com/in/crystal-isanda/.
