Participants Stories
Future Forward by Uplevyl is more than a program — it's a launchpad for women leaders ready to embrace the transformative power of AI and shape what’s next. As a participant, I was immersed in thought-provoking content that connected the dots between emerging technologies and leadership in a rapidly evolving world. The program provided a unique blend of strategic insight, practical AI knowledge, and a supportive community of visionary women. It empowered me to not just keep pace with innovation, but to lead confidently with purpose and foresight. Uplevyl has created a future-facing community where women are not only included in the AI conversation — we’re driving it.

Now is the time for women to step into AI — not only to seize its immense opportunities, but to counter the risks of a future shaped without us. With data and power concentrated in the hands of a few, women must rise as leaders of ethical, human-centered innovation. The Uplevyl Future Forward Accelerator is a catalyst — igniting knowledge, confidence, and collaboration to shape AI for the good of our world.

Sheila Mullen
Account Director – Global Financial Services & Payments Industry, BMC Software
Uplevyl’s Future Forward Accelerator program equipped me with the confidence and skills to lead AI conversations in my enterprise and secure a seat at the decision-making table. I’ve since contributed to automation projects, guided teams on AI integration, and positioned myself for future leadership roles — all while expanding my professional network with inspiring women across industries. My active participation has led our leadership to recognize the value of the Future Forward program in empowering women leaders in technical topics such as AI.
