Padma Ayala — Co-Founder

I’m the Founder & CEO of Virtue Tech Inc., a global tech company helping organizations unlock the power of AI, cloud, and data. We work with companies ranging from digital-native startups to Fortune 500s—delivering solutions in Data Engineering, AI, Cloud Strategy, and Modernization. I also founded Seattle Data AI Security, a 6,000+ member zero-cost tech community where we host meetups, conferences, and hackathons. Our events bring together professionals from Microsoft, Amazon, Google, and 25+ startups and enterprises. Through Sakthi, my non-profit, I help train and mentor women from underrepresented communities to become strong AI engineers. These women don’t just get trained—they build real AI products and get hired by top companies. At Virtue Tech we have helped lead large-scale digital transformation initiatives, M&A integrations, and legacy modernization efforts across healthcare, retail, and high-growth SaaS companies. I’ve built and scaled communities, led global teams, and brought emerging tech to production for orgs that want to move fast and stay ahead. I've been fortunate to work alongside incredible teams at Microsoft, GoDaddy, Getty, and multiple startups—and to speak at conferences like Women in Tech DC.
