Ley Muller (PhD, AIGP)
Founder
I have worked with AI systems since 2020: starting and leading the first AI/ML team at the Norwegian Institute of Public Health, serving as AI methods expert to a European Panel on Science and Technology project, creating municipal-focused generative AI training programs, and responsible for AI governance as a senior AI product manager.
I work with AI systems bcause I love people, and change, and improvement, and holding ourselves to high standards.
I am trained as a public health methodologist with a PhD in addiction treatment, so I get very excited by evaluations and data-driven decision-making. I am a certified Artificial Intelligence Governance Professional by the IAPP, and an ISO 42001 Artificial Intelligence Quality Management Systems lead auditor. I also lead Nordic Women in AI Governance and am the Research and education lead for Women in AI Norway.
Originally from the US, with family in Australia, and have lived in Austria and Germany. Now I’m settled down in Trondheim, Norway, with my partner and lots of snow.
I founded Values-driven AI in September 2025.
Joo Helena Hansen
Organizational Developer
I am a seasoned organizational developer, change-maker, and facilitator. I have held leadership and board positions in Norwegian NGOs for nine years, where I have created and scaled up diversity training programs. I also founded the world’s first - and still the largest - pride event for children! My formal education is in pedagogy, and I bring exceptional training and capacity-building skills to Values-driven AI.
I moved from Denmark to Norway in 2013.
Mariam Sidibeh
Business developer
I am a governance and sustainability professional with over 20 years of international experience in highly regulated sectors across Norway, the United Kingdom, and the United Arab Emirates.
I hold an MSc in Sustainable Technology from Imperial College London.
My background spans oil and gas, engineering, and the London local government sector, with a focus on governance, compliance, human factors, and safety-critical operations.
Outside of my professional work, I enjoy hiking, travelling, and creative projects with my daughter.
“You learn so much in Ley’s workshops. She has a particular strength of being able to adapt both themes and the ways she teaches to her participants, and keeps things open for dialogue and discussion. This really leads to a strong level of engagement, and to participants understand how these high-level issues of AI are actually relevant to our work.”
