Topic: The Race to AI Fluency: Leadership, Cyber Risk, and the Governance Gap
Speaker: Holly Smithson, President & CEO, Athena

Key Areas for the Topic:

• AI is not a technology race. It is a leadership and risk management race.
• The AI governance ga is the next major enterprise vulnerability.
• Every AI deployment expands the attack surface.
• Competitive advantage will go to organizations that build AI-literate, cyber-aware cultures.

As CEO of Athena, Holly leads efforts to accelerate women and cultivate allies through leadership development, workforce upskilling, and trusted peer exchange. Rooted in one of the nation’s most competitive STEM markets in California, Athena now extends its impact globally, supporting 50 corporate partners representing 1.5M employees and a member network spanning 170+ countries. 

Holly's career spans transformative roles, including leading the launch, merger, and financial turnaround of three mission-driven organizations in cleantech, biotech, and STEM. Previously, Holly served as a Presidential Appointee in President George W. Bush's administration, advancing critical legislative initiatives at the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency and State Department. She was also a delegate in California Governor Jerry Brown's Cleantech Trade Mission to China.

Her exceptional leadership has earned widespread recognition. Holly delivered the acclaimed TEDx San Diego Talk, "Uncaging the Confidence Within," where she explored the mindset shifts that fuel personal transformation and courageous leadership. She was inducted into the San Diego Women's Hall of Fame in 2023 and named among San Diego's Top 500 Most Influential Leaders from 2018-2024. Additionally, she's been honored as CEO of the Year and Businesswoman of the Year. 

Smithson began her career in broadcast journalism as a News Director and Anchor for television and all-talk radio stations. She is a graduate of the Harvard Business School Executive Leadership Program and holds a Bachelor of Science degree in broadcast communications from East Carolina University.

The Military Affairs Advisory Council works with Chamber Members, elected officials, topic experts, community leaders, and other organizations to advocate for policies that improve the quality of life for the military community.

Advisory Council Members are responsible for discussing and deciding, by vote, the official position and activities carried out by the Chamber regarding policies that affect the military community in San Diego.

Our advocacy focus includes but is not limited to the following issues affecting active-duty service members, veterans, and their families in San Diego County:

• Housing
• Jobs
• Taxes
• Unethical practices that impact active-duty service members and veterans

The Advisory Council also facilitates Operation Connect, a San Diego North Educational Foundation program, educating and connecting veterans to businesses within the Chamber and the community to assist their transition to civilian life.
