Speaker: Zain Buri, Founder of Seva
Zain Bari is the Founder and CEO of Seva Intelligence, an AI-powered care companion built for families raising neurodivergent children. Her career spans 18+ years across technology, financial services, international development, and mental health, with leadership roles at Siemens, IFC, and Canada Life. At Siemens, she led a major merger integration recognized as a global best practice and was fast-tracked toward country leadership as a result.
Zain holds both an MA in Counselling Psychology and an MSc from the London School of Economics & Political Science. She is a psychotherapist in training and complements that role as a Harvard Medical School-certified health and wellness coach.
As a mother and caregiver, Zain knows the invisible mental load these families carry, because she's carried it herself. Seva is the tool she wishes she'd had on the hardest nights, built from that same intersection of lived experience, psychology, and technology, and from one belief: systems should support families, not wear them down.
