Tali Despins

A multidisciplinary builder with 16+ years of experience across design, marketing, front-end development, and entrepreneurship.

Today, my work focuses on AI enablement: helping organizations adopt AI in ways that are practical, sustainable, and psychologically informed.

What differentiates my approach is a focus on the human side of AI adoption. I bring cognitive science and psychology to AI transformation, not just tools, prompts, and workflows. I help organizations better understand the human factors that determine whether AI adoption succeeds or fails, and what to do about it.

My perspective is grounded in a background in psychology. I earned a B.S. in Psychology from the University of Wisconsin–Madison and spent more than three years as a lab manager in the Lupyan Lab, studying how language shapes thought, memory, and perception.

In addition, as a Claude Ambassador, empowered by Anthropic’s Claude Code Community program, I work with local AI communities to connect ecosystems, and help people meaningfully adopt emerging technologies through hands-on education, events, and real-world collaboration.

Working across Tel Aviv and Madison, Wisconsin, I focus on bringing practical AI culture, builder energy, and accessible learning opportunities into communities and organizations navigating rapid technological change.

Emma Beckett

Emma’s story is anchored in two worlds that rarely meet: elite sport and enterprise transformation. While building a professional football career, she developed deep, practical expertise in large-scale programmes for FTSE and global brands. Her grounding across AI, ERP, CRM and HCM ecosystems positions her as a trusted partner to Microsoft, Dayforce and organisations that want to navigate transformation with discipline, risk awareness and genuine quality control.

Her sporting pedigree shapes her perspective. She sees transformation through the same lens as high-performance football: preparation, drills and strategy come first, and shortcuts simply cost you later. She is known for a direct, engaging style that cuts through jargon and gets to the truth of how programmes succeed or fail. Her talks blend sharp insight with authenticity, humour and sports logic, giving both technical and functional audiences something they can use the moment they leave the room.

As Product Manager for an API-as-a-service platform in fintech (around 300 endpoints), I own identity, account management, permissions, and remote identity verification for the teams building on this platform.
