"Let's not use technology to make life easier, but to make life better."
Vivian Lan is a renowned expert in innovation, exponential leadership, and organizational transformation. She is the director of Singularity University Mexico and has worked with governments, global companies, and entrepreneurs in more than 15 countries, helping them anticipate the future and redesign their business models in a world of accelerating change. Her approach combines technological vision, systemic thinking, and human purpose, inspiring leaders to build more adaptable, conscious, and future-ready organizations.
Innovation with social responsibility and the use of technology to help humanity are the great drivers of Vivian Lan, who, in addition to studying graphic design in Mexico City, specializing in plastic arts in New York, and being a Montessori guide, has always been involved in projects of social impact.
As a social entrepreneur and consultant with experience in leadership, innovation, and design, Vivian believes in facing global problems through creativity and collaboration; working together to change the world.
After several years of working with marginalized communities in Mexico, Israel, and Kenya, in 2011 she carried out a campaign through social networks to help the famine in Africa caused by the drought, in which she raised 100,000 USD in 10 days, gathered 57 international volunteers, and delivered 40 tons of food and medical assistance to 20,000 affected people.
In 2013 she attended Singularity University at NASA, where she studied the use of exponential technologies, in order to integrate them into humanitarian work and apply them to change the world. After graduating, Vivian became the ambassador of Singularity University in Mexico, in addition to serving as Director of Ecosystem of Innovation in the Presidency of the Republic and the Exponential Growth Director at ExO Works.
After 10 years of working with top businessmen, government leaders, and successful entrepreneurs, Vivian understood that the only way to change the world is through education, so in 2023 Vivian co-founded Uma School, a Montessori institution of consciousness-based education, a pioneer in a new paradigm. In this approach, education serves as a life tool, empowering individuals to discover their purpose, fuel the desire to be the best version of themselves, achieve self-realization, and consequently expand their capacity while discovering inner happiness and life force.
In addition to running the school, Vivian is currently a renowned international speaker and director of SingularityU Mexico.
With numerous conferences around the world during the last years I have contributed to generate a culture of innovation, a focus on the future and a progressive stance in multiple sectors.
With a training in design and art and with experience as a Montessori guide, I am convinced that education is the basis of any change and one of the greatest challenges for humanity in the 21st century.
Through Singularity University we help companies and institutions to grow exponentially, to generate innovation and integrate technologies that allow them to scale.
Innovation with social responsibility and the use of technology to help humanity are my main engines.
Through conferences and workshops I have the opportunity not only to transmit knowledge, but to inspire different audiences and help them transform their environment, to have an exponential growth, to grow their businesses, to be proactive in the construction of the future, to precede adversities and change the world.

With a training in design and art and with experience as a Montessori guide, I am convinced that education is the basis of any change and one of the greatest challenges for humanity in the 21st century. Throughout my professional life I have had the privilege of working with children in different continents, both in urban and marginal areas and I have learned that in a world of constant change, education is no longer an informative process and becomes a formative process to develop better human beings.
Singularity University is an institution based at NASA Ames Research Park focused on using exponential growth technologies to solve the great challenges of humanity. After studying there topics of nanotechnology, robotics, artificial intelligence, biotechnology, neuroscience and 3D manufacturing among others, I became the ambassador of the university for Mexico and finally the General Director of the SingularityU Mexico Summit.
