Biography

Catriona Wallace, PhD, is a globally recognised business leader, entrepreneur, and authority in artificial intelligence, ethics, and leadership.  She was a Shark on the hit TV show Shark Tank Australia (2023), is the founder of the Responsible Metaverse Alliance, and has been a pioneer in the technology-meets-humanity field for the last 20 years.  Dr. Wallace walks between the worlds of business and shamanism, embodying a unique blend of expertise forged through a highly successful business career as well as training with the Shipibo people in Peru. With a profound commitment to fostering the evolution of both technology and humanity, Catriona has cultivated a global reputation as a leader in both technology ethics and the Psychedelic Renaissance movement.  With a PhD in Organizational Behaviour, and Honorary PhD in Business, Catriona’s academic background underscores her deep understanding of the intricate relationship between technology and human behaviour.  

She is the co-author of Checkmate Humanity: The How and Why of Responsible AI and founder of the Rapid Transformation organization. Today, she advises businesses, communities, and governments worldwide on responsible technology practices while also facilitating transformational leadership retreats grounded in traditional plant and earth-based medicines.

Drawing on three decades as a CEO, entrepreneur, and academic, Dr. Wallace was named a Global Power Woman by the UK’s Centre for Economic and Leadership Development.  She has combined rigorous research with lived experience—including pioneering studies on the role of psychedelics in leadership development to develop her  “Rapid Transformation” framework.  The framework includes three pillars – ritual, awakened thinking, and emerging technology – that together provide leaders with the tools to navigate ambiguity and act decisively in a time of unprecedented change.

AI and the Future of Humanity

With the release of Generative AI in November 2022, the world changed forever.

Technology’s intelligence and consciousness is advancing at a rate faster than humanity’s and we must now ask the following questions:

  • Is AI technology useful, harmful or both?
  • Who is guiding technology and its relationship to humanity?
  • Where are we headed?
  • Are we okay to passively continue with AI development knowing that it poses an existential risk, on par with nuclear war and pandemics?
  • And … given there are no real laws or regulations that govern AI – what can we do? 

Furthermore, just as we are getting our heads around this powerful AI technology, we are faced with the imminent arrival of Extended Reality, Metaverse and Quantum technologies.

In this important and highly topical keynote address, Dr Catriona Wallace will discuss: the current state of AI; humanity entering into the early stages of transhumanism; the power and invasiveness of AI and Metaverse worlds – the good and the bad; technology ethics and responsibility; and strategies for how we might direct technology for humanity’s good.

Key topics include

  1. AI and the Metaverse – what are they? Good or bad?
  2. Technology vs human intelligence and consciousness
  3. The age of Transhumanism, the future of technology and humanity
  4. Development moratoriums & re-strategising technology for good

  • What is Transformative AI?
  • Designing AI with ethics, consciousness, and care

Leading with Spirit: Ancient Wisdom & Rapid Transformation for Modern Crises

The world faces four converging crises — AI proliferation, climate collapse, mental health breakdown, and polarization — that demand more than strategies; they require transformed leaders. Dr. Catriona Wallace shares how ancient rituals, altered states of consciousness, and her Rapid Transformation framework can expand leadership capacity, deepen ethics, and drive systemic change. Drawing on her Shipibo shamanic training and global leadership work, she reveals practical ways to harness neuroscience-backed ritual and collective wisdom to meet this moment with clarity, courage, and purpose.

Key Themes:

  • Ancient ritual and altered states as tools for transformative leadership
  • Responding to the four global challenges with expanded ethics and resilience
  • Collective healing and regenerative systems thinking for complex times
