Meet Dr. Layla Maya Dillon – Redefining AI Leadership

AI isn’t just changing technology—it’s reshaping the very nature of power.

Some adapt. Some react. I shape.

From astrophysics to AI governance, my career has been built on understanding transformation at its most fundamental level. First, I studied stellar evolution—the forces that forces that shaped the universe. Now, I work at the next great frontier: governing intelligence itself.

And I didn’t just join the AI revolution—I helped lead it.

I have shaped AI strategy from cutting-edge startups to trillion-dollar MNCs. I’ve led multi-million-dollar AI portfolios, advised global tech leaders and policymakers, and driven AI innovation across sectors—from healthcare to space technology.

But my real mission? Ensuring that AI leadership isn’t just in the hands of the loudest voices—but the right ones.

Leadership in AI is not about hype, models, or algorithms. It’s about governance, influence, and execution. That’s why I work directly with the executives, policymakers, and industry pioneers shaping AI’s future.

Because AI won’t lead itself. And those who fail to take control? They’ll be led by it.

Why Maya?

Most AI consultants sell solutions. I build AI-first leaders.

My expertise isn’t just technical—it’s boardroom-ready. AI isn’t about models; it’s about leadership. I make sure you’re the one leading it.
