In this very special episode of Women Lead, host Nadia Koski brings you the bold ideas, vibrant voices, and high energy straight from the Cannes Lions Festival of Creativity. Recorded live in Cannes, France, this episode features on-the-ground interviews with inspiring global leaders who are shaping the future of tech, AI, marketing, and inclusive leadership.

In collaboration with Microsoft Advertising, Nadia sat down with:

Sunita Richardson, Head of Brand & Campaign Strategy, Microsoft
We explore the evolving relationship between AI and creativity, and how storytelling is being redefined in an age of disruption.

Ravleen Beeston, Regional Vice President, Microsoft Advertising UK
Ravleen shares what it takes to lead through rapid change with empathy, resilience, and purpose, and why advocacy is non-negotiable.

MJ DePalma, Head of Inclusive Business Impact, Microsoft Advertising
MJ takes us behind the scenes of one of Cannes’ most talked-about panels, “The Future of AI Personalization is Inclusive,” and the case for using inclusive data and neuroscience in advertising strategy. Plus, a quick insight from Pranav Yadav, CEO of Neuro-Insight, on the science behind creative messaging and subconscious influence.

We also had some fun on the Croisette with Stefanie Beach, Host of The Digital Marketeer podcast. Nadia and Stefanie talked about reinvention and leadership as Stefanie shared her journey from corporate to founder.
