Hi and welcome to my site!
I’m Dr. Alice Vo Edwards, a PhD-level research scientist, ethical AI advisor, and fractional C-suite consultant (COO, CFO, Chief People Officer) who helps mission-driven organizations thrive at the intersection of technology, ethics, and human-centered innovation.

I specialize in helping companies implement responsible AI practices, data-driven decision-making, and scalable operational strategies that improve organizational performance while staying aligned with values like inclusion, equity, and social impact.
With over 20 years of cross-sector experience—including managing teams of 130+ and budgets exceeding $15M—I offer fractional executive leadership and strategic consulting for clients ranging from startups to global enterprises. My superpower is bridging the gap between vision and execution, blending rigorous research and analysis with human-centered systems design.
What I Do:

I’m passionate about advancing technology for good—particularly in areas like digital health, workplace inclusion, mental health, and disability empowerment. Whether leading research projects, building frameworks for ethical innovation, or helping teams scale with purpose, I bring a rare mix of technical fluency, strategic insight, and heart.
Outside of work, you’ll find me swimming, traveling, and advocating for neurodivergent and LGBTQ+ communities, as well as raising awareness about the human impact of AI and emerging technologies.
