Practical AI education for real teams.

Most people leave an AI keynote feeling informed. Celia Quillian's audiences leave feeling like they've been let in on something - and they can't wait to go try it.

With over a decade leading growth strategy, go-to-market, and brand storytelling inside high-growth tech startups, Celia has spent her career translating complexity into clarity. In 2023, she channeled that skill into a mission: making AI literacy accessible to everyone. As the founder of SmartWorkAI, author of AI for Life (Simon & Schuster, 2025), and frequent AI speaker, she has built a community of 180,000+ followers by making generative AI easy to understand, practical to use, and genuinely fun, while being pointedly honest about its limitations.

What makes Celia different is that she doesn't just talk about AI adoption - she lives it. By day, she leads AI enablement, go-to-market strategy, and brand storytelling at one of Atlanta's most recognized fintech companies, giving her a front-row seat to what actually makes organizational change stick.

A valedictorian of her MBA class at Emory's Goizueta School of Business and a theatre and communications alum from Wake Forest University, Celia brings a performer's instincts and a strategist's discipline to every stage, screen, boardroom, and enablement session she occupies.
