Known for helping organizations navigate major technology shifts before they become mainstream, Tia has spent her career leading large-scale transformations across Fortune 100 companies including Wells Fargo, Capital One, JPMorgan Chase & Co., and AWS. Today, she is helping shape the future of Agentic AI and intelligent systems as businesses rethink how they operate in a world increasingly powered by AI agents and machine-generated workloads.
Under Tia’s leadership, AWS is helping organizations modernize the infrastructure behind AI-powered search, automation, analytics, and enterprise-scale intelligent systems. She brings a rare combination of deep technical expertise and executive leadership, having started her career as an engineer before becoming a Fortune 100 Director of Engineering before age 30.
A passionate advocate for inclusive leadership and representation in technology, Tia has spent more than a decade championing initiatives focused on recruiting, retaining, and advancing underrepresented talent across STEM fields. She has led mentorship and workforce development programs, partnered with organizations like Women Who Code, and helped companies significantly grow representation across technical teams.

Featured in Forbes and a sought-after speaker and emcee at events including SXSW and Grace Hopper, Tia shares timely insights on AI strategy, the future of cloud infrastructure, emerging technologies, leadership, and how organizations can prepare for the next era of intelligent systems.
AI has rapidly evolved from generating information to taking action. Today’s AI agents can reason, retrieve information, make decisions, and execute complex workflows — transforming how organizations operate, innovate, and scale.
In this conversation, Tia White explores the rise of Agentic AI and what it means for the future of work as humans and AI increasingly collaborate side by side. Drawing from her leadership across major AI and technology transformations, Tia breaks down how organizations are deploying AI agents and how these technologies can help teams work more efficiently, automate repetitive tasks, and create more space for creativity, collaboration, and other uniquely human strengths.
Tia also examines the critical considerations around governance, privacy, security, and change management as businesses prepare for the next era of intelligent systems.
As AI becomes increasingly central to business strategy, industries like healthcare, financial services, and government face a unique dilemma around how to innovate with machine learning without compromising data privacy, regulatory compliance, or intellectual property. In this dynamic keynote, AI and ML leader Tia White introduces federated learning: a groundbreaking advancement that allows organizations to train shared machine learning models without ever exposing sensitive data.
With deep experience leading cloud migrations, enterprise AI transformations, and multimillion-dollar service portfolios at Fortune 100 companies, Tia shares how federated learning allows multiple organizations to collaborate on training powerful AI models whether matching patients to clinical trials or improving fraud detection across banks.
Drawing from real-world examples and her work across the technology and banking sectors, Tia demystifies the technology, its implications, and why regulated industries must act now to stay competitive in the age of AI.
In the last 3 years, the amount of data we have readily accessible has grown over 1600x. To that end, we are unleashing the power of generative AI and large language models (LLMs), allowing companies to quickly deliver solutions such as text or image creation with very minimal data required.
In this conversation, Tia will explain GenAI in very simple terms, how to identify appropriate use cases for GenAI and when traditional ML may be more appropriate. Based on her expertise as a current AI executive, Tia leaves audiences with real-time insights into the rapidly evolving world of artificial intelligence.
