The Women in STEM Summit & Awards is a cornerstone event in Ireland, designed to celebrate the remarkable achievements of women across science, technology, engineering, and mathematics. By recognising trailblazers who continue to push boundaries and redefine what is possible, the event highlights the essential role women play in advancing innovation and excellence in STEM.  

Aoife D’Arcy’s win as Mentor of the Year is not just a personal triumph but a testament to her profound impact on the STEM community. With over 20 years of expertise in data science, machine learning, and artificial intelligence, Aoife has established herself as both an industry leader and an advocate for the growth of education. Her extensive experience in training, mentoring, and guiding professionals has reinforced her reputation as someone who goes beyond imparting knowledge.

This dedication was recognised even beyond her victory in the mentoring category as Aoife was also a nominee for the “Women in STEM – Maths” Award, underscoring her versatile contributions to STEM fields. 

Aoife’s professional journey began with a commitment to developing data-driven solutions that create tangible business impact. This passion led her to found Krisolis in 2009, a consultancy that blends data science training, mentorship, and strategic guidance to empower organisations to cultivate world-class AI and machine learning teams. Through Krisolis, she has enabled numerous businesses to build internal capabilities that not only enhance their performance but foster a culture of continuous learning and innovation within the professional setting.
