Taylor Shead is the visionary founder and CEO of Stemuli, a Dallas-based gaming and AI company redefining how people learn and work. Stemuli merges a massively multiplayer simulation with the world’s first AI-native game engine for education, enabling students to build companies, solve problems, and develop real-world skills through play.
Under Taylor’s leadership, Stemuli has been recognised as the United Nations Global Champion of AI for Good, honoured by Forbes, Google, and the Gates Foundation, and partnered with Stride Learning (the largest U.S. online school) and LAUSD (the nation’s second-largest district) to personalise learning for millions of students.
A former Division I athlete turned founder, Taylor leads with the belief that “people learn best by doing, not by being told what to do.” Her mission: to make education as engaging and rewarding as the games people love- and to unlock a new generation of human potential through AI with Soul.
