Haben Girma is best known for changing how organisations understand access, not as accommodation, but as a question of design, responsibility, and leadership intent. A disability rights lawyer and the first deafblind graduate of Harvard Law School, she works at the intersection of law, technology, and human experience to show how systems quietly decide who can participate fully and who cannot.

Her perspective is structural rather than sentimental. Haben examines how digital platforms, workplaces, and institutions often exclude by default, not through malice but through narrow assumptions about communication, interaction, and ability. She helps leaders recognise that access failures are leadership failures, signals that systems have been built without enough imagination, accountability, or range.

Her talks are composed, incisive, and quietly challenging. They focus on how inclusive design strengthens innovation, how accessibility reduces risk and friction, and why organisations that design for the margins ultimately perform better at the centre.
