How do you turn adversity into innovation? | Sarah de Lagarde | TEDxLondonBusinessSchool
What if your greatest tragedy became the spark for your greatest innovation? After a devastating accident left her with life-changing injuries, Sarah de Lagarde rebuilt her life—one AI-powered movement at a time. This is a story of resilience, cutting-edge technology, and the human spirit's power to rise again. Sarah de Lagarde is not just a speaker—she is a force of resilience, innovation, and inspiration. As Global Head of Corporate Affairs at Janus Henderson, she has mastered the art of turning complex ideas into compelling stories. But her most powerful narrative is her own.
In 2022, Sarah’s life changed forever when she was run over by two tube trains. What could have been the end became the start of an extraordinary new chapter. Defying the odds, she became the first woman in the world to summit Mount Kilimanjaro with two prosthetic limbs. Now fitted with a groundbreaking AI-powered bionic arm, she is a trailblazer in the future of prosthetics and human potential.
From resilience and adaptability to the transformative power of AI, Sarah’s story captivates and inspires audiences worldwide. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at https://www.ted.com/tedx
