Lindsay Bekombo

Lindsay Bekombo serves as an IT project manager for the federal government in Washington, DC, where she has received a quarterly award for her contributions. With a passion for artificial intelligence that led her to switch her bachelor's concentration to AI after starting in IT, she earned multiple AI certifications and is now enrolling in her PMP. Bekombo's educational path includes a high school diploma in economic and social studies, an associate degree in business and business management, and her current bachelor's in business. She founded a nonprofit focused on the representation of African culture and Black women, partnering with brands internationally, and works as a social worker, advancing to assistant director and housing director positions. Bekombo belongs to NABA, NASBE, and the National Leadership Society, for which she received three nominations. She credits her mentor Isaac Hernandez with the guiding principle that success is defined by you, not by others, and draws on her Christian faith to pursue human-centered work as a social entrepreneur committed to creating positive societal impact through AI that solves problems rather than replacing jobs.
