Meet the Team: Kaitlin

Name: Kaitlin Mansour 

Title: Head of Global Marketing 

How long you have been at HumanX: 2 years!

What’s your background, and what brought you to HumanX?

I’ve spent my career on every side of the conference ecosystem, which has given me a deep appreciation for what works and what doesn’t. I started in PR, where I was submitting speaking sessions, studying what actually resonated on stage, and supporting thought leaders through media interviews onsite. That experience taught me how ideas land with an audience and how much narrative, timing, and relevance matter in a live environment.

I then moved to a marketing role in-house, where I was responsible for the full exhibiting experience, from pre-event strategy and onsite execution to post-event lead nurture and ROI. That role grounded me in the realities of budget and outcomes. 

Then I spent a year working to build and introduce a new collaboration platform for a large, global conference organizer–my first time truly being on the inside—and moving directly into the conference world felt like a natural next step. 

I was drawn to HumanX because it set out to build something genuinely different: an experience designed around real decision-makers, real use cases, and real outcomes. The opportunity to bring all of those experiences together and help shape an event that respects people’s time, intelligence, and responsibilities is ultimately what landed me here.

What are you most excited about for this year’s HumanX event?

I’m so excited about how intentional this year’s experience feels. HumanX continues to sharpen its focus on who is in the room, why they’re there, and what they walk away with. Notably, I’m happy we’re bringing HumanX to San Francisco and be at the center of the AI ecosystem itself. There’s something powerful about gathering people who are building, deploying, and governing AI in a city where so much of that work is already happening. I’m looking forward to seeing familiar faces come together in their own backyard, but also to the spontaneous connections that happen when people who might not otherwise cross paths share the same physical space. Those unexpected conversations are often where the most interesting ideas and partnerships begin.

If someone’s on the fence about attending, what would you tell them?

AI isn’t slowing down, and whether we like it or not, most of us are already responsible, or soon will be, for driving AI progress within our organizations. While HumanX is designed for people making AI decisions real inside their companies, that responsibility now touches almost every role. Attending is about equipping yourself with the context, confidence, and connections to navigate what’s coming next, not just keeping up, but helping shape how AI is actually used in our worlds.

What’s been your favorite HumanX moment so far?

One of the most meaningful moments for me was the session with Kamala Harris. She spoke about being raised by strong women, surrounded by women, something I relate to deeply, and about the importance of ensuring AI works for everyone, including those who haven’t historically had a seat at the table. She emphasized why spaces like HumanX matter: bringing diverse voices together to shape the future responsibly. Later, when I had the opportunity to give the opening address at the HumanX Women’s Summit, I was able to echo that message: that we have a responsibility to build systems, communities, and futures that include women and underrepresented groups by design, not as an afterthought.

What’s one thing that always makes your day better?

My coworkers and team! I’m incredibly lucky to work with a group of people who make me laugh every single day. Slack group chats and shared humor genuinely make my days better. Even in high-pressure moments, having a team that can LOL at the same things changes everything–especially in a fully remote environment.
