Margaret Spence

Margaret Spence is an AI governance strategist, women's leadership expert, and author of four books. She founded The Inclusion Learning Lab and AI Governance for HR.

Her latest book, When AI Breaks the Law, helps HR and talent leaders understand what goes wrong when AI shapes hiring, advancement, and workforce decisions without strong governance.

Spence built her expertise in human resources, risk management, and workplace compliance. Before AI entered the talent conversation, she managed workplace litigation claims for Fortune 500 companies. That experience shaped her focus on evidence, accountability, and defensible decisions.

Her prior book, Leadership Self-Transformation, helps high-achieving women ask the career-defining questions that move them from invisible to indispensable.

Across her work, Spence helps leaders build systems, careers, and workplaces that protect people and expand what is possible.
