Speakers
Presented By Nikou Javadi
Imagine Indiana Jones spotting the trap everyone else missed. Dr Nikou Javadi brings that vision to information leaders.
TEDx speaker with dual PhDs, she reveals what conventional thinking overlooks: hidden risks in rushed migrations, ignored protocols, lost records.
Blending her design insights with lessons gathered from high-stakes environments like aviation, healthcare, and military, Dr Javadi shows leaders how to protect data treasure when chaos strikes.
Like Indy, you'll learn to see what others miss and safeguard what matters most.
Dr Nikou Javadi transforms how leaders think and perform under pressure.
With dual PhDs in Architecture and Design for Health and Wellbeing - specialising in neuroarchitecture and high-pressure environments - she brings together design intelligence, clinical insight, and decision science to strengthen judgement in critical moments.
Her path from architectural innovation to perioperative crisis and cognitive strategy has shaped a distinctive perspective on a problem most leaders and organisations don’t see coming: how pressure, perception, and unchallenged assumptions quietly drive high-stakes decisions off course - often before leaders realise they’re solving the wrong problem.
A TEDx speaker, her talk “How One Second of Pause Changes Everything” explores why in fast-changing, chaotic environments, conventional thinking and routines aren't always enough.
Blending rigorous, evidence-based insights with compelling storytelling, she reveals what is often unseen - equipping leaders to act with clarity, confidence and control.
