# Dr. Dédé Tetsubayashi > AI GRC & Tech Exec | Founder | TEDx Speaker | Board Director & Advisor | Investor | Luxury Disability & Accessible Travel | Corporate Wellness | Advocate & Philanthropist Location: San Francisco, California, United States Profile: https://flows.cv/drddtetsubayashi Fractional CPO/CPRO | Disability & Chronic Illness Advocate | Sickle Cell Warrior | Founder & Angel Investor I operate at the convergence of emerging technology, disability-affirming advocacy, and radical imagination, dedicated to shaping ethical and accessible futures in business, AI, and society. Drawing on 25 years of leadership in AI governance, innovation, and the lived experience of navigating the world with disability, my work centers both visionary systems building and practical design for belonging. My practice is rooted in equity: architecting AI-powered business systems, scaling ventures, and co-creating adaptive fashion that celebrates disabled identity and expression. I curate luxury travel experiences that redefine accessibility at the highest levels, proving that sophistication and full inclusion must exist side by side. Whether I’m advising executives, designing automation platforms, or leading retreats that model truly accessible community, I bring empathy, intuition, and a deep commitment to unlocking potential at the intersection of technology, artistry, and humanity. Dreaming forward means driving executive leadership, championing responsible AI, creating accessible design, and building collective intelligence for a future in which disabled talent and voices are central—not peripheral. My approach blends strengths-based and behavioral science methods (Gallup StrengthsFinder, Working Genius), lived expertise, and a relentless commitment to public impact—ensuring every strategy, product, or community is built for innovation, beauty, and true accessibility. Let’s reimagine what’s possible—together, as catalyst, strategist, and steward for futures that include us all. ## Work Experience ### CEO & Founder @ incluu Jan 2020 – Present | San Francisco Bay Area AI Governance, Regulatory Compliance, & Policy Lead the development of responsible AI and biometric technologies at incluu, focusing on accessibility, regulatory compliance, governance, policy, privacy and security measures.
