Ayisha Irfan
Founder & CEO
Augmented Intelligence Advisory
Decision Education can have a transformative impact on today's students, shaping them into capable and empowered community members and leaders. Tomorrow’s workforce will require adaptable, innovative problem solvers and effective collaborators, and Decision Education provides clear, hands-on training for how to embody these qualities.
Ayisha Irfan is the founder of Augmented Intelligence Advisory. She brings 15+ years of experience across every layer of the education ecosystem, and in tech.
Most recently, she spent the last several years inside Google advising product and engineering teams on Search’s data governance and generative AI features. This is where her education policy brain collided with the realities of how AI was being shipped to students, and this work led directly to the formation of AIA.
Prior to Google, at Airbnb, Ayisha led North America local policy and partnerships. Her work included Airbnb’s public commitment to provide accommodations for 20,000 Afghan newcomers and the national public-private partnerships that housed first responders and survivors of domestic violence and human trafficking during COVID-19. This work shaped her understanding of how tech can be used as a tool for public good.
Prior to that, Ayisha spent a decade in NYC government and policy spaces, focused on: leading grassroots organizing with students, leading leadership development work with current and former teachers, and advising elected officials on educational equity issues.
She holds a master’s in Policy and Applied Statistics from NYU and a bachelor’s in Biology from Brooklyn College.
