Our 2021Speaker

We are thrilled to announce Rita Arrigo as our speaker at the 2021 International Women’s Day breakfast.

An Industry Digital Strategist at Microsoft, Rita is passionate about utilising emerging technology to redefine the meaning of ‘possible’.

Believing data and Artificial Intelligence (AI) can actually reinvent and help humanise our working lives, Rita sees the potential for a lifelong learning culture to be developed, creating new levels of human experiences. In her role as an AI Ambassador, Rita drives many ‘AI for Good’ initiatives, including Smart Inclusive Cities, Diversity, Sustainability and Humanitarian aspects. Rita was recently presented with the PauseFest Super Connector Award for her work in driving technology in the community.

Based in St Kilda, Rita has two daughters who mentor her in Generation Z ways, and is married to St Kilda Still Life artist Chris Beaumont.
