Lauren Ducrey Speaker Profile: At A Glance

Lauren Ducrey spent years at Google designing AI and found that in a world of smart machines, human empathy is the real competitive edge. She now equips global organizations to transform how their teams connect, communicate, and create—using both generative AI and poetic thinking to unlock creative resilience and cultural change. Featured by Bloomberg, The Huffington Post and Le Monde, Lauren brings both poetic firepower and tech fluency to every stage, from Columbia University to PepsiCo, AXA and AdoptAI (Europe's largest AI conference). Through her lens, even skeptics see that soft skills aren’t soft—they’re seismic.

Lauren Ducrey makes the case that poetry is our original language model—and that in an age of generated text, the ability to write with personality is a form of literacy every discipline needs. Born in France, she received her Master’s in literature from the École Normale Supérieure and Columbia University before spending seven years designing the personalities of Google Assistant and Gemini. That work taught her a simple truth: in an AI-powered world, the leaders who thrive aren't the most technical, but the most emotionally intelligent. Now a performing poet and AI consultant, she works with universities and organizations to explore how generative AI and poetic thinking can support creative resilience and cultural change. She has spoken at international gatherings including MIT's AI-Powered Women, Adopt AI (Europe's largest AI conference), and Human + Tech Week, led workshops at AXA, PepsiCo, Grupo Santillana, and Squarespace, and spoken with students from universities like Columbia University to school principals across Mexico. Featured by Bloomberg, The Huffington Post, and Le Monde, Lauren brings both literary depth and technical fluency to the stage.
Lauren's talk was the creative spark we needed for our conference. She delivered her insights with clarity and warmth, making a lasting impact on all who attended. Poetry & AI, what magical alchemy! - Sophie Huss, Chief Marketing Officer at Artfefact Lauren not only nailed the brief but exceeded our expectations. Her talent for making complex topics relatable is impressive. She's a true professional and an exceptional speaker. - Charlotte Sparks, Brand Marketing Lead at Squarespace It was such a pleasure working with Lauren as a featured speaker for our conference. Her professionalism was top notch: prepared, calm, and, above all, inspiring. - Kristen Bret, Global Communications at AXA Lauren exudes a confidence that is bold yet inviting, and her storytelling brings the audience inward, into reflection. I would love for more founders to access her so that we can continue to deliver confidence and flow in what we're building. - Joy Fan, Founder/CEO Re/Tell
