Two worlds
Julia Suzuki is an AI leader, wellbeing strategist, and founder of two companies: Securely Wellbeing and Truly Human AI.
Julia believes that as AI redefines how people work and live, pursuits that cultivate creativity, continuous learning, and personal growth will become increasingly important sources of purpose. Her perspective draws from two worlds: AI leadership and competitive ballroom dance, also known as DanceSport.
From Accenture to founder
Before starting her ventures, Julia spent 14 years at Accenture, advising senior leaders on AI strategy and transformation across industries. She also led workplace wellbeing strategy and operations for Accenture's Detroit community, work that earned a Gold-Level Healthy Workplace Award and recognition from Governor Gretchen Whitmer.
That wellbeing work continues in her own practice. Julia is a Certified Wellness Practitioner (CWP) through Wellness Alliance, she has spoken at the Annual Wellness Summit and shares her insights on AI and wellbeing in speaking engagements and blog posts through Securely Wellbeing.
Julia also stays close to the people building AI. She is an active member of AI communities. She has been invited to Google's global AI conferences, including Google Cloud Next and Google I/O, and was invited to attend NVIDIA GTC AI conference in March 2026.
Why dance
Dance evolved from a hobby into a way of life for Julia. She is committed to four dimensions of wellbeing: body, mind, emotion, and spirit. That commitment fuels her pursuit of excellence and mastery, both on and off the dance floor. It also shapes what she builds. Through Truly Human AI, an AI-first product company and NVIDIA Inception Program member, she is building an AI-powered training companion for amateur competitive ballroom dancers.
Julia was named among the "10 Empowering Business Women to Watch in 2026" by The Women Stories for her transformative leadership. She encourages leaders to prioritize wellbeing and create space for themselves and others to learn, unlearn, relearn, and grow. She believes leadership in the AI era requires a builder's curiosity and willingness to experiment and a dancer's flexibility and commitment to bringing a creative vision to life. She invites leaders to approach new information with curiosity, learn AI by building, and use AI or build with AI to make the world a better place.
