About
Tiarne Hawkins
An AI executive, entrepreneur and speaker who has spent more than 15 years where technology, transformation and business meet.
I care less about what AI can do, and more about what it changes for the people who have to live with the decisions it makes.
Tiarne's work spans frontier AI, enterprise adoption, agentic systems and AI assurance, with experience across programs involving some of the world's leading AI and technology organizations.
She has spent her career translating between technologists and executives — turning capability into strategy, and strategy into adoption that actually holds up in production.
Today she is CEO & Founder of Optica Labs, host of You & AI, and the author of The Negotiation — a look at the bargain between humans and increasingly autonomous systems.
The path here.
