Emerald de Leeuw‑Goggin on Scaling AI Governance in Global Organisations

“If your responsible AI program disappears every time the law changes, you never had one.”

Speaking & Thought Leadership

Emerald speaks globally on the intersection of AI, privacy, and governance helping leaders translate regulation into strategy. She brings a pragmatic, commercially grounded voice to stages including Davos AI House, Reuters Momentum AI, TEDx, and the European Parliament.

As seen on:

Signature topics

Emerald explores how power, trust, and accountability evolve as technology reshapes leadership. Her keynotes offer practical frameworks for boards and executives navigating AI governance, regulatory change, and organisational transformation with insights that connect ethics, innovation, and authority in real-world contexts.

1. Terms & Conditions May Apply: Regulating AI Without Killing Momentum

AI rules are moving faster than most companies can adapt. This session breaks down what matters, what’s noise, and how to build systems that meet regulation without stalling progress. It’s for leaders who want control and speed as the rulebook evolves.

2. The Trust Dividend: Privacy, AI, and the Business Case for Getting It Right

Strong governance creates efficiency and resilience. This session looks at how organisations that invest early in privacy and AI governance reduce friction, avoid costly rework, and build lasting confidence with regulators and customers.

3. From Framework to Function: Making Privacy and AI Governance Actually Work

Many governance models sound good on paper but collapse under pressure. This talk breaks down how to design systems that hold up in real operations — clear roles, practical processes, and accountability that scales.

4. Polish & Power: The Strategy Behind How Women Show Up

This session looks at how subtle cues; from how you speak to how you show up, influence who is seen as credible and who isn’t. Drawing on research and real-world experience, Emerald breaks down how authority is often read before it’s heard, and how leaders can manage those signals intentionally without performance or pretense.

5. Signals of Sovereignty: Building a Brand That Outlasts Your Job Title

Influence tied to a role is temporary. This session looks at how senior leaders — particularly women — can build visibility and trust that endure beyond any position. It focuses on practical ways to develop long-term credibility, professional mobility, and brand equity that support leadership over time.

Building Trust Into AI: Emerald de Leeuw-Goggin at Reuters Momentum AI Studio

Emerald de Leeuw-Goggin is the Global Head of Privacy and AI Governance at Logitech. She will join

TEDx

Emerald's 2019 TEDx Talk: Online Privacy Is Broken, This Is How We Fix It.

In this Talk, Emerald explains how social media algorithms can harm the mental health of young people, specifically young women. She shares her own story of having anorexia in her teens and delivers a moving speech on the future of these information flows and on what to do to secure our personal data.

The Future of AI Law & Governance

Emerald was invited by Professor Daniel Solove to discuss the future of AI regulation & Governance. Solove is the Eugene L. and Barbara A. Bernard Professor of Intellectual Property and Technology Law at the George Washington University Law School.

AI regulation and governance is at a crossroads. A debate rages about whether current laws are too strict; efforts to halt or weaken regulation are underway. Internal governance for AI is emerging, but it is unclear whether there are any uniform standards or much rigor to these efforts.
