Dominique Shelton Leipzig

Dominique Shelton Leipzig is the CEO of Global Data Innovation, a legal advisory firm that guides CEOs and boards in turning AI into measurable return. She advises using a proprietary, cross-industry knowledge base of thousands of documented AI, cyber, and privacy failures and successes, built over 35 years of privileged practice, paired with pre-legislative access to regulators and legislators from Washington to Brussels to Geneva. Together they let her tell a board which failure pattern its AI deployments most resemble, which pathway comparable companies used to reach return, and which obligations to prepare for before they take effect. She has trained 50,000+ professionals in AI, privacy, and cyber governance, and advised companies representing a combined market cap over $3 trillion. 

Her fourth book, Trust: Responsible AI, Innovation, Privacy & Data Leadership, won the 2024 getAbstract Business Impact Award; her TEDx talk drew 1.6M+ views. An ADWEEK “AI Trailblazer Power 100,” Forbes “50 Over 50 Innovator,” and Financial Times Agenda Future 50 honoree, she founded the Digital Trust Summit.
