Paqui Lizana

Paqui Lizana

Paqui Lizana is a multidisciplinary lead, futurist and creative strategist whose work sits at the intersection of innovation, exponential technology and human intelligence. With a career spanning aerospace engineering, automotive, consumer electronics, and retail, Paqui has spent two decades asking what technology is actually for.

She is co-founder of Brilliant Failures AI Studio, exploring what intelligence becomes when we train it on the voices we usually leave out — caregivers, mothers, living systems, the people the innovation world forgets to invite. She is a Board Member of TEDx Amsterdam and a steering committee member of the IEEE AI Systems Flourishing Initiative. She has spoken at MIT, the European Commission, and global stages on leadership, imagination, responsible AI, and future of innovation systems.

Her practice is built on one belief: the most important thing you can do for someone is make them braver to imagine and act towards a future worth building.
