Recognized for impact beyond the boardroom, she co-created #ShareTheMicUK to amplify Black women’s voices through high-profile allyship, reaching audiences in the hundreds of millions.

In 2025, Kigori’s perspectives on search, culture and creativity featured on major stages including SXSW London and Deloitte’s Media & Telecoms “2025 and Beyond,” where she set out a practical blueprint for thriving in an AI-accelerated market. As a keynote speaker, she equips leaders to navigate disruption with clarity, purpose and measurable outcomes.
