She holds a Bachelor of Arts in History and International Studies and is passionate about advancing human rights, digital governance, peacebuilding, and public policy across Africa.

She has earned professional certifications in Disaster Management, Data Analysis, and Data Labelling, which have strengthened her analytical, problem-solving, and evidence-based decision-making skills. Her growing interest in the intersection of technology, human rights, cybersecurity, and artificial intelligence has inspired her to contribute to discussions on creating safer, more inclusive digital environments across Africa.

Mercy participated in the Kenya Internet Governance Forum in June 2026, where she engaged in multistakeholder discussions on digital governance and gained valuable insights into emerging policy challenges and opportunities shaping Africa's digital future. This experience reinforced her commitment to promoting collaborative approaches to online safety, platform accountability, digital inclusion, and responsible AI governance.

Drawing on her experience in complaints management and governance, Mercy is particularly interested in strengthening accountability and access to effective remedies for individuals affected by online harms. She advocates for African-led, rights-based approaches that protect women and children while promoting innovation, digital trust, and inclusive digital development.

Through this proposed session, Mercy aims to convene policymakers, regulators, technology companies, civil society organizations, academia, the technical community, youth representatives, and development partners to co-create practical recommendations that strengthen online safety, platform governance, and human rights in Africa's evolving digital ecosystem.

For CloudCon Sydney, I offers a distinctive global perspective. While many discussions on AI and API security are shaped by experiences in North America and Europe, i brings insights from one of the world's fastest-growing digital economies, where cloud adoption, financial technology, digital identity, and AI innovation are expanding rapidly. This perspective highlights challenges and opportunities that are increasingly relevant to organizations worldwide.

Attendees can expect an engaging, technically grounded session that bridges cloud architecture, API security, AI governance, and Zero Trust principles.

Hayat Amin

Hayat Amin

Hayat Amin operates as a fractional C-suite executive — CFO, COO, and Chief Strategy Officer — for venture-backed startups across three time zones: New York City, London, and Dubai. He plugs into companies at the inflection point between seed and Series A, where the founder is still doing finance in a spreadsheet, ops is informal, and growth is starting to outpace the team's operating discipline. Within 90 days he typically rebuilds the financial model, installs board-grade reporting, and hands the team a 12-month runway plan tied to growth metrics that actually move the business.
In parallel he runs as an AI agent operator: designing, deploying, and supervising production agent stacks that handle real workloads — content engines, sales pipelines, finance reconciliation, customer support. He treats agents the way a CFO treats hires: with KPIs, performance reviews, and a clear ROI threshold.
His third practice is IP and data strategy. He builds patent portfolios for technology founders, valuates data assets the way investment bankers valuate revenue lines, and shows operators how to defend a moat increasingly made of training data, prompts, and proprietary workflow. Hayat has shipped three exits as an operator and speaks internationally on the future of work, human purpose in a post-AI economy, and the new operating model for fractional leadership.
