AI and the Metaverse: Transforming Education, Professional Development, and Global Impact with Hoss Zaouali
August 23
About Guest:
Hoss Zaouali, CEO, Voilà and Connected Labs
https://www.linkedin.com/in/hosszawali/
Hoss Zawali's journey from a turbulent childhood to becoming a leading figure in global education is a testament to the transformative power of learning. Growing up between North Africa and France, he faced significant challenges, including language barriers and violence, which led to an identity crisis. However, education became his path to self-expression and growth.
After earning engineering and business degrees in France and an MBA in International Development in Canada, Hoss dedicated himself to using education as a tool to combat ignorance and violence. His work with the French government in Morocco, investigating the roots of violence among street children, reinforced his belief that education can change lives.
In 2005, he founded Tech-AdaptiKa, a social enterprise that provides free education to children in developing countries. Under his leadership, the organization has expanded globally, launching innovative projects like a digital education solution in Somalia and a Metaverse for universal education.
Hoss is also deeply involved in professional development, having launched virtual campuses and incubators worldwide. His work is particularly focused on Africa, where he sees online education as a means to rapidly advance learning, bypassing traditional steps.
In addition to his professional achievements, Hoss has been a course facilitator at the Stanford LEAD program, where he helped develop a global community of executive learners. He also created the Me2We conference at Stanford GSB to strengthen the connections among online learners.
Hoss's commitment to education is driven by his personal history and his belief in its power to foster empathy, mutual support, and a brighter future for all.

About Guest:
Matt Sauer, Chairman, Everstar Asset Management
/ matt-sauer-069724131
About Matt:
Having spent over 35 years evaluating and pricing assets, Matthew has been keenly aware that valuation is always based on data gathering, assimilation and analysis. Artificial Intelligence will fundamentally change the available data, the traditional investment process and the outcomes associated with investing. The dispersion of results will become larger at a faster pace, all because of the power of Artificial Intelligence.
Beginning with a career as a portfolio manager at three well known investment firms; Oak Value, Ariel, and Lateef, he has visited hundreds of C-Suites and has had numerous conversations with industry leaders, investment bankers and analysts. Different industries will be affected by Artificial Intelligence based on their own idiosyncratic risks and rewards of disruptive technologies, yet it is the combination of the knowledge of traditional business models and the understanding of the rate and magnitude of change occurring that allows for insightful analysis and valuation work.
While at Oak Value, Matthew was named by Morningstar Research as an All-Star Manager and an Ultimate Stock Picker. Matthew has been a General Partner in Lateef Capital LLP and Everstar Capital Fund LLC. The latter has significantly outperformed all benchmarks over the past 4 years.

Companies are unable to engage and retain their employees because they do not know how the employees are doing and the managers do not have adequate support. A leadership course a year and an annual employee survey is not enough in today's fast-paced world.
For companies who believe that leadership quality is their competitive edge, we provide an Ai-powered leadership mentor and a daily overview of employee experience to improve leadership, retention, and engagement across their organization.
As opposed to the pulse surveys, we map employee experience in all its categories daily and distribute the results instantly in a highly actionable dashboard to empower employees and leaders. The vast amount of data we have enables us to apply AI and provide leadership advice 24/7 across the globe.
