Named one of HR’s Most Influential Thinkers in 2025, Egle Vinauskaite is the award-winning director of Nodes, a studio focused on the people side of AI adoption. Her deep expertise in learning, behaviour and technology has made her a sought-after advisor for blue-chip companies and next-gen edtech startups alike. Over the past eight years, she has worked with some of the biggest brands in technology, finance and other industries on upskilling and organisational change programmes, and advised on how AI can support scalable learning and performance, boost L&D and People operations, and prepare organisations for enterprise-wide AI adoption. AI doesn’t come with a user manual, and Egle believes we can only make the most of it by sharing and building on what’s working. As a result, alongside her advisory practice, she has been researching and publishing industry reports on the state of AI in L&D, capturing and analysing emerging best practices to share with the wider profession. Her work has earned recognition across the industry: she has been a finalist in several leading awards and won the Rising Star Award from the Learning and Performance Institute. Egle holds an M.Ed. from Harvard University. Grounded in both research and practice, Egle offers a wealth of knowledge at the intersection of AI, organisational learning and the future of work.
