Woman of the Week - Abby Hanson - ABM AI (ABM Technology Group)

In this special live edition of Woman of the Week from XChange August, Jacquie Rives sits down with Abby Hanson, Vice President, Microsoft and AI at ABM Technology Group, to hear her extraordinary journey from a teaching degree to leading-edge roles in AI and Microsoft innovation. Abby shares how volunteering opened doors at Microsoft, the grit it took to power through 14 interviews, and how her career has spanned building billion-dollar practices, starting new teams from scratch, and championing ethical and transparent AI. 

Abby opens up about the proudest moment of her career—helping a healthcare company transform their systems to save lives, a story that became deeply personal when her own grandmother’s passing highlighted the critical role of technology in patient care. With her signature warmth and authenticity, Abby reminds us of the power of empathy in business and leaves us with a message that resonates: 
“Don’t fake it. Be uniquely you, every single day.” 

Tune in for an inspiring conversation filled with lessons on resilience, impact, and leading with authenticity.
