Margaret Yuan

Margaret is the rare executive who operates fluently on both sides of the AI conversation, the technical side where systems are built, and the business side where decisions are made. That bilateral fluency, developed across 17 years in global enterprise and frontier AI research, makes her uniquely equipped to move retail organizations from AI ambition to AI execution. At Estée Lauder, she built the first enterprise AI strategy across 20+ brands and 150+ countries, delivering RAG pipelines and multi-agent systems. As a MIT AI Safety Fellow, she knows what it takes to get there without losing control of your brand, your data or your margins.
