When technology reflects the biases of the past, it limits the possibilities of the future.
Throughout her career at Microsoft, Miri dedicated herself to democratizing access to technology, mentorship, and career opportunities for women. She worked across AI, skilling, and leadership development, ensuring women—especially those from underrepresented backgrounds—had the visibility and resources to thrive. But her mission took on new urgency after a life-changing diagnosis. Facing the reality of systemic inequities in healthcare, leadership, and technology, Miri emerged with an even stronger commitment to breaking barriers for women in AI and business.
“We can’t wait 134 years for gender parity. AI should be a force for equity, amplifying women’s voices, expertise, and leadership—now.” — Miri
