Build Your AI Team
I did not come up writing code. Now I build with agents that write it for me.
Madina Gbotoe co-presents this hands-on session with Lauren Irving. It is for the woman who is closest to a problem and ready to build for it, whether or not she trained as an engineer. You design AI agents to run parts of your work, guided by two practitioners who do this every day.
- A healthcare product leader’s eye for turning a messy problem into something you can ship
- The practice of directing agents that write the code while you keep the judgment
- A teacher who stays with learners past the certificate, until they can build on their own
Madina trained in science, not software, and now directs AI adoption for healthcare and life sciences organizations. She is proof of the bet this session makes, that you do not need to come up as an engineer to build, and that the people closest to the problem are often the ones who should be building for it.
build with agents even if you have never written a line of code, and bring others with you.
Why this session lands
Madina Gbotoe leads AI product development at Danaher and serves as Chief AI Officer at Women Defining AI. Every system she touches gets measured by one question, whether it hands time back to people doing high-stakes work, from a patient to a provider to the next woman trying to build. She teaches the fundamentals publicly and does not lose the why.
