Aneta Pavli

Aneta Pavli is Chief Growth Officer at DeepAI, a San Francisco-based artificial intelligence company, and Chief Executive of MaxWise, which delivers sovereign, private-by-design AI to governments and family offices. Her work sits precisely where this summit places its focus: secure architectures, trust encoded at the foundation rather than added as an afterthought, and the responsible governance of frontier technology in service of human dignity.

She advises governments on digital sovereignty and the adoption of AI that is private by design, with particular attention to small and vulnerable states for whom these questions are not abstract but existential: her partnerships with Pacific island nations have placed those communities at the forefront of a conversation usually reserved for the world’s largest powers. Earlier in her career she led growth across Europe and Africa for a US autonomous-systems company that reached unicorn valuation, giving her a rare command of how frontier technologies move from invention to national-scale deployment.

A former competitive figure skater who represented Lithuania, and Founder of SixPointFive, a non-profit advancing the dignity of women in underserved communities, she works wherever technology meets the human person, convinced that the two must never be set apart.
