In this talk, we are guided through a journey into adulthood using the perspective of time. With personal reflection and anecdotes, as well as questions, we are encouraged to think about where we have been, where we are now and where we are going. After 15 years in top leadership roles like CEO, COO, Group CTIO and holding Board positions at some of the world’s largest telecommunication companies, working in more than 11 countries & 4 continents across the world, I believe that people with growth mindset, innovation & embracing diversity in its full extent, can make a significant positive impact to our surrounding societal ecosystems. My passion is about building and coaching teams that are hungry, curious, and hardworking, with an aim of developing next generation of tech-savvy talents. I also believe that in order to be relevant in the rapidly changing world, one needs to start with customer use cases, understand deeper technology trends and be able to think outside of the box (clean-sheet approach). Outside of technology, I love cooking vegetarian meals with my family and enjoy macrobiotic way of lifestyle, as it helps make our world a much healthier and a more sustainable place.

¿Qué pensarías si te dijera que la Inteligencia Artificial no está aquí para reemplazarnos, sino para hacernos mejores? En esta charla, te invito a descubrir cómo la verdadera revolución está en convertirnos en “centauros digitales”, donde la IA procesa, pero nosotros decidimos; donde la máquina calcula, pero nosotros juzgamos. Como consultora y estratega digital, comparto historias reales, basadas en mi experiencia y datos que revelan una paradoja fascinante: cuanto más avanza la IA, más importantes se vuelven nuestras cualidades humanas. A través de casos que demuestran mejoras de hasta un 40% en eficiencia y un 60% en innovación, exploro las tres capacidades fundamentales que necesitamos para prosperar en esta nueva era: Curiosidad Aumentada, Creatividad Colaborativa y Sabiduría Híbrida. El mensaje es claro: el futuro no pertenece a quienes temen a la tecnología ni a quienes la siguen ciegamente. Pertenece a los centauros digitales que aprenden a bailar con ella, combinando lo mejor de ambos mundos. Porque no vinimos a competir con las máquinas, vinimos a evolucionar junto a ellas. Karina, fundadora de Estrateka, fomenta el crecimiento rentable y sostenible de los negocios digitales al combinar estrategia, tecnología y operaciones centradas en las personas. Con experiencia que va desde Iberdrola Renovables hasta el empoderamiento de mujeres indígenas, muestra cómo la tecnología y la humanidad pueden unirse para lograr un progreso significativo. En su charla TEDx, redefine nuestra relación con la IA, inspirándonos a convertirnos en "centauros digitales", fusionando la innovación tecnológica con la esencia humana para impulsar una verdadera transformación.
