Kirsty Tan

Kirsty Tan has spent more than two decades helping the world’s leading organizations navigate complexity—as a management consultant, academic institution-builder, and trusted advisor to enterprises across three continents. At AI Aspire, she brings that experience to one of the most consequential challenges facing business leaders today: turning AI from a buzzword into a lasting organizational capability.

Her approach is built on a simple premise. AI transformation doesn’t happen in the boardroom or the IT department alone—it has to move through the entire organization, from the executive team to the front line. Working with clients from the C-suite down, Kirsty helps enterprises identify their most pressing challenges, build internal teams that can act on them, and develop the leadership habits that sustain progress long after the engagement ends.

That philosophy was forged over a decade leading executive MBA programs at some of the world’s most respected institutions—including École des Ponts ParisTech and Tsinghua University—where she designed curriculum for future technology and aerospace leaders across Beijing, Paris and Toulouse. She knows what it takes to build capability at scale, and she knows that real transformation requires more than a workshop. Kirsty also serves as General Partner of AI Fund’s Growth Fund, giving her a direct line to the most promising AI companies in the market and the ability to connect enterprise clients with solutions built for their specific needs.

She is fluent in English, Mandarin, Cantonese, and Bahasa, and holds a PhD in international business with high honors from the International School of Management in Paris, an MBA from Deakin University, a bachelor’s degree with a triple major in commercial law, information systems, and accounting, and is a Chartered Accountant.
