Carmen Leiser Bio (LinkedIn)
Carmen Leiser is Director of Movi Collective, where she leads day-to-day strategy, programming, and team. She holds an M.Eng. from Stanford's d.school and dual psychology degrees from the University of Konstanz, and is a Fulbright Scholar. Carmen co-taught Human-Centered AI at Stanford with Peter Norvig and Dan Russell and previously led strategy at Lufthansa Group. Her crisis counseling and Gottman-method training informs how she builds culture and holds real difference across the community.Movi is a curated intergenerational collective uniting accomplished people driven by optimism, curiosity, and a shared mission to build careers, organizations, and lives that create meaningful impact. Members have achieved a lot and still feel there is more to figure out, about their work, their lives, the world, and what comes next. Unlike transactional networking groups, Movi operates on a mosaic principle: no single perspective holds the complete picture, but diverse lived experiences, disciplines, and life stages combined produce accelerated growth. Movi creates environments where members show up as whole humans, professionally ambitious and personally authentic, exchanging perspectives, challenging assumptions, and co-creating value through reciprocity rather than extraction. The collective includes leaders from IDEO, Anthropic, SpaceX, Stripe, Meta, Patagonia, McKinsey, Google, and Goldman Sachs, plus Stanford, Harvard, Yale, MIT, and Columbia alumni.
