Sharon Gai is an international female keynote speaker who helps organizations see how leading companies use AI and innovative business models to disrupt their industry and exceed their competitors. Using her experience from the east and west, she is able to provide a more balanced and nuanced view to her topics.
She was born into northeastern China, during a time when girls were told they are best if they are “serene and quiet”. Immigrating to Canada at a young age, she was presented with a new language, a new culture and a newer way of looking at the world. Perhaps it was because of these geographical changes in her life, she was able to become Culture Fluid and cultivate a culturally intelligent way of looking at the world.
Today, companies and associations from around the world rely on her knowledge in ecommerce, digital transformation and AI. She helps organizations become agile disruptors in their industries so they can learn faster and disrupt larger competitors. In her tenure at Alibaba, she advised brands and heads of state in crafting their digital strategy with programmatic marketing and AI. She has been the keynote speaker at TEDx, Singularity University, UBS, Deloitte, Nestle, Ecomworld, and Etail. She is in the AAE list of Top Keynote Speakers in 2023. She is also one of 2024’s RETHINK Retail’s Top Retail Expert and a Linkedin Top Voice in Public Speaking 2023. She has appeared on Bloomberg, Yahoo Finance, Reuters, ABC, CBC, CCTV, Techcrunch, Retail Asia, Wired, and The Next Web. She is the author of the book, Ecommerce Reimagined: what we can learn in retail and ecommerce from China. Sharon has an Honors Bachelor’s degree in International Development from McGill and a Masters in Knowledge Management from Columbia University.
