Ingrid Tappin
Leadership Strategist, Creator of Identity Intelligence™ & Founder of Diverse Leaders in Tech
Ingrid Tappin challenges one of the most consequential assumptions in modern business: that the people and behaviours we have traditionally rewarded are those best equipped to lead us into the future. A leadership strategist, former Accenture senior manager and technology entrepreneur, she works at the intersection of identity, organisational transformation and artificial intelligence.
As founder of Diverse Leaders in Tech, Ingrid has worked across Europe’s technology ecosystem, connecting leadership thinking with the realities of innovation, growth and organisational change. Her pioneering Identity Intelligence™ framework explores how lived experience shapes judgement, influence and the ability to navigate complexity. As AI increasingly influences how organisations assess talent and make decisions, Ingrid raises a provocative question: are we recognising the intelligence tomorrow’s leaders need, or simply automating yesterday’s assumptions?
