Sylvie Leotin Biography

Sylvie Leotin is a health systems scholar, speaker, and entrepreneur whose journey from professional dance to engineering to healthcare gives her a rare view of how complex systems shape human experience. Her expertise spans medicine, health systems science, humanism, ethics, technology, and AI. Trained as a ballerina at France’s National Conservatory, Leotin earned a master's degree in engineering from Stanford University and spent two decades in technology innovation.

Then a cancer diagnosis placed Leotin inside healthcare, where she witnessed firsthand how care could meet medicine’s standards while leaving patients exposed. She founded Equify Health and secured $1.75 million in Genentech grants to study blind spots in clinical care. Leotin serves as Affiliate Faculty at Belmont University's College of Medicine and as a Fellow of the Belmont Collaborative for Health Systems Innovation. She has delivered keynotes and Grand Rounds for the National Cancer Institute, Stanford Medicine, and Yale School of Medicine, published in the Journal of Patient Experience and STAT, and been featured in The Boston Globe.

Sylvie Leotin Speaking Topics

  • Humanism in the Age of AI: The Hidden Risks of Intelligent Systems

    As AI takes on a growing role in decisions that affect our lives, its hidden risks may lie not only in what it gets wrong, but in what it gets right. Drawing on decades in technology innovation and original healthcare research, Sylvie Leotin explores how AI can inherit and amplify the blind spots of human systems—and why a humanistic perspective is essential to ensuring that technological progress protects society.

  • What Leaders Miss About People Who Depend on the Systems They Govern

    People who design, lead, and govern systems often see them from a fundamentally different perspective than those who depend on them. Drawing on original healthcare research and decades in technology innovation, Sylvie Leotin explores how even capable, well-intentioned leaders can miss the human consequences of the systems they oversee. Her talk challenges audiences to rethink how they lead, evaluate success, and fulfill their responsibilities to the people whose lives their decisions shape.
