TESTIMONIALS

Margaretta in a word is awesome. I have been fortunate to know her for a number of years and work with her on startups and non-profits. We serve on six advisory boards together and I hear nothing but high praise for her work effort and strong ethics. Margaretta is intelligent and creative. She works hard and smart. She thinks long-term and has an innate ability to execute on near-term projects which will lead to future success. She's a constant learner and reader which leads her to explore and find connections which are pertinent but were not previously thought of by others. When she works on a project, she focuses on it but also allows her mind to think through other permutations about how it could be done. Margaretta doesn't seek the spotlight. She works well with other people and she isn't looking for the limelight.

Enthusiasm, optimism, insight, and honesty describe my wonderful conversations with Margaretta. We met through a mutual interest in deep learning as applied to medical imaging. There are few people who grasp future trends the way she does. My reading list has also become full of new books on AI and emerging technologies because of her. Margaretta serves on the Advisory Board of the AI Precision Health Institute that I co-founded at the University of Hawai‘i Cancer Center. Cheers Margaretta!

There are many great people working in AI, however, I deeply admire Margaretta Colangelo. She is one of the greatest pragmatic thinkers of this generation. Margaretta is one of the extremely rare AI experts who writes about real-life AI. She's a no-nonsense AI expert who works, thinks, and writes about pragmatic AI. It's a breath of fresh air every time she expresses herself! I'm an absolute fan! Her articles are a MUST read. Margaretta's pragmaticism and scientific proof of AI innovations are worth the thousands of empty hype messages on social media! Bravo!

I met Margaretta in 2015 and was amazed by her energy and enthusiasm. She's had a very successful 30 year career in IT, and she's also become an investor, industry analyst, technology advisor to several governments, and industry influencer. She is highly ethical, non-compromising, curious, and has a broad social network. I always read her newsletters with great interest. Highly recommended.

Margaretta is a magical genius! I love her work and her positive spirit so much! Margaretta was a guest speaker for my class of 28 master students at Ansbach University of Applied Sciences in Germany. She is an outstanding speaker - this is simply in her DNA. My students were spellbound from the first to the last minute when she presented her lecture about recent advances in AI in healthcare. I am grateful for Margaretta's strong spirit and the concrete action she is taking to preserve our health and improve our lives. She is going the extra mile to reach people all over the world. We look forward to continued collaboration with Margaretta. Cheers from Germany!

Margaretta is spectacular!!! I admire her deep knowledge about the science and technology ecosystems around the world. If you want to know what is happening in innovation in healthcare Margaretta is the person to follow and contact. She brings everybody to the table and always shares the latest news on what is happening around the world in AI and clinical research. In particular she is driving the information on longevity and all the great milestones that are happening right now. Margaretta's passion for the transformation of healthcare is contagious and I always come out of meetings with her with new ideas. She has been critical in elevating all of this information around Latin America and continuosly supports initiatives with her drive and vision. Thanks for all your support Margaretta!

If there was a Nobel Prize for excellence in producing and sharing COVID knowledge, Margaretta Colangelo would win it hands down. In fact, Stockholm should probably make note of her just in case. Since January 2020 she has been tirelessly pumping out great medical, scientific, and technical research on COVID-19. The amount, frequency, and quality of data, papers, studies, information, and news coming from Margaretta is nothing short of extraordinary. She’s at her best when illuminating the intersection of AI and COVID. It's fascinating how she takes different threads of research to create an amazing picture of this super-deadly virus in all of its subtle, killing ways and disguises, and how science, like some great global COVID posse, is chasing it down. Collectively, her postings are like a new-age version of Paul de Kruif’s Microbe Hunters - remember that classic book? However, Margaretta’s aren't stories written in hindsight; hers are happening in the here and now, and she takes us along on the hunt. She’s become my go-to source for everything COVID. The work that pours out of her matters a helluva lot to a world scared to death of living in constant fear of plague. She’s amazing. You should check her out.

In my universe of accomplished colleagues and collaborators, Margaretta Colangelo is a singularity. She brings a combination of insightfulness, thirst for knowledge, creativity, energy, and productivity across multiple domains, which in a single person is rarely equaled. Margaretta was an early mover in applying computer technology to enterprise and life sciences. She continues as an authoritative and very articulate voice in the application of machine learning in multiple fields. Margaretta has long been a proponent of and catalyst in the field of aging biology and increasing healthspan. During the Pandemic, she became one of the most prolific and trusted writers on the multifaceted subject of COVID. Margaretta is not just a leader, a technology genius, strategic thinker, internationalist, and gifted writer, she is a humanitarian. She seeks a better world and energetically and creatively works for it across every time zone. Margaretta takes a special interest in helping young people early in their careers. She is genuinely warm, engaging, and energizing. I am among countless people who have greatly benefitted from Margaretta’s astute coaching and encouragement.

Margaretta was by far one of the most informative and credible posters of information during the pandemic. She is always a consistent and quality resource and has probably saved quite a few illnesses and lives with her data driven posts. I look forward to her work even beyond the COVID pandemic!

I'm always amazed by Margareta's professionalism and compassion. She is definitely a force of good in this world and she's leading the way in finding innovative solutions to our most urgent challenges. She is a true expert and we have so much to learn from her especially about how AI will transform the healthcare industry here in Oman. Looking forward to working with her again very soon.

Thank you Margaretta Colangelo. You are an awesome chairperson, speaker, and influencer. Your knowledge and exposure is an institution itself for AI in Healthcare. We are fortunate enough to have you as chairperson.

Margaretta and I met at the Buck Institute for Research on Aging and instantly connected on our visions for living healthier and longer lives. We are both passionate about translating scientific breakthroughs into the clinic and we understand that healthy longevity is now more of an engineering challenge than it ever was. We both agree that more needs to be done in the way of educating the general public on the promise brought forth by living longer and more enjoyable lives. I will always remember something profound Margaretta said to me. She said "When I hear people say that they wouldn't want to live longer, I always think that their perspective would change very quickly if they faced a life-threatening event". Needless to say, all those who meet Margaretta are immediately refreshed by her lively and positive outlook on life because she truly enjoys life. I am proud to say I understand that feeling.

Margaretta understands and values humanity. She puts humanity before money. She is one of best people I know. We have the same line of thinking, approach, mission and vision. Margaretta and I are working together to transform the lives of people from all villages across India and through all castes using technology. We believe that women's financial inclusion is essential and will bring positive development in families and in society. We are working to improve healthcare, increase financial inclusion, empower women, improve the lives of children, and to improve education at all levels from primary through university. Margaretta and I are kindred spirits working together to create big improvements for all human beings.

Margaretta is a force multiplier who is willing to leverage her vast network to propel you forward. Her advice is timely and relevant, but it is her genuine heart to change the world that makes her stand out from the crowd. Margaretta is the perfect combination of investor, advisor, social change agent, and friend.

I am Margaretta's primary contact for my 55+ community's Senior Academy for Education. My interest and activities in AgeTech led to our connection several years ago. Our residents were thrilled with Margaretta's lecture on longevity science in 2021 and we just had our second lecture in 2022 in what promises to be an annual event to enlighten us to the progress in this field of such importance to our community. We are so grateful to Margaretta for devoting some of her precious time to enlighten us. Everyone is amazed at her passion and her ability to make complex information understandable to a group of elderly lay people. Thanks Margaretta.

I thank Margaretta so much for her tremendous effort. Her daily summaries of COVID-19 research and review papers are a must-read for me. I am sure many of her followers appreciate her work as much as I do.

Amazing efforts by Margaretta in tracking data and research on the COVID-19 pandemic. Researchers of all kinds are finding her posts full of information that is critical for life on earth post pandemic. The posts that she has shared from the time that COVID-19 first surfaced until now are TOP CLASS knowledge enriching posts. I can imagine the efforts she has taken to extract useful information and publish it while keeping readers of all kinds in mind. The words "thank you" are just not enough to acknowledge her for her efforts. We all are grateful to her. I will continue to read her posts until we have victory over COVID 19. Her mission is to serve humanity with her knowledge in all diverse fields so that well informed decisions are taken by individuals, researchers, hospitals, AI firms, pharma companies, and governments. Surely a Nobel Prize for outstanding efforts to combat the COVID-19 pandemic by an individual in action as a one woman army goes to... Margaretta Colangelo.

Margaretta and I have worked together and attended tech events together for several years. We've discussed everything from our interests, to the future, to the potential of the longevity and Blockchain spheres. A few years ago we attended a Crypto investor event together at Draper University and while the event was full of interesting people, the person who really shined to me was Margaretta. By the end of the day I felt like I'd known Margaretta forever. She is one of the smartest, most charming and welcoming people I’ve ever met. It's an honour to work toward a bright future together with Margaretta.

When Margaretta and I met, we had both independently arrived at the conclusion that blockchain, AI/ML, and other emerging technologies could drastically reduce the 15-17 years it takes medical science to go “from bench to bedside,” putting new treatments into life-saving clinical practice. We discussed her myriad ventures and my new company Science Distributed. We spoke of blockchain and books, computers and cats. She invited me to her think tank. Next, we change the world.

Margaretta is a business fairy and an altogether wonderful human uniting the most incredible minds in the world. She's on the advisory board of my company and we have fantastic conversations about many things. I admire her intelligence, business acumen, perseverance and excellence in literally everything she does, and I am convinced that it stems from her love for her fellow humans. She is interested in finding a cure for aging and disease, and improving overall health using cutting edge technologies (blockchain, AI) - this is all very much in line with my thinking. She is an incredibly interesting and interested individual. I was stunned by the extensive collection of all the right books she owns which leaves no doubt of the above. By supporting, advising, mentoring, and propelling gifted and prodigious youth, she is forming the next generation right before our eyes. I am beyond excited and proud to be going down this path with Margaretta side by side.

I am glad to share interests in AI with Margaretta. She is on the advisory board of my company Robots Go Mental. We collaborated on an article about the importance of small data in advancing AI which was published in MIT Technology Review Italia. She proposed that I join her think tank. Here I am. Gladly.

Margaretta and I have great and energizing conversations. I love her enthusiasm. We live in exciting times where technology and data science can open unthinkable doors to cure diseases, improve quality of life, and help people live longer. The complexity of this enterprise requires the interaction of thinkers, innovators, and entrepreneurs. I love Margaretta's vision to make this possible by creating this think tank. My main motivation is to create tools for early cancer detection which significantly increase survival and also have a positive impact on patients already battling the disease. Margaretta and I have joined forces to make a big impact on patients - they are in urgent need of options and solutions.

Margaretta is a trust catalyst between high impact oriented people. I’m looking forward to collaborating with her to bring about the future that we envision as soon as possible. Our work together will be around medical care, which is something that we both value deeply. The idea about the upcoming technological revolution in healthcare that we stand for is not about replacing doctors with machines, but about improving the therapeutic alliance between doctors and patients by helping doctors spend more time with patients and less time analyzing data.

Not only was she enjoyable to work with, but her decision making and overall understanding of the entire company was invaluable to the team at Open Horizon. All early stage companies need someone like Margaretta to help keep the team organized, focused and moving in the right direction.

Margaretta is the best combination of energy, intelligence and enthusiasm that I have ever had the pleasure to work with. She is as comfortable in fast paced and often high risk commercial application development cycles as she is patient and thorough in the rigorous and often laborious military software development cycles. She understands people, process and product. Whenever there is an opportunity to collaborate with Margaretta,I jump at it because I know she will keep morale high and never let me down.

Margaretta and I connected over a mutual interest AI in health. She is insightful and forward thinking, and I'm grateful to be part of a think tank where I can learn from amazing individuals from different disciplines.

When I was a student at Phillips Exeter Academy, I reached out to Margaretta for help securing an internship at fashion company Narciso Rodriguez. I loved to design, but I had no idea how to break into the fashion industry, especially while still in high school. Thanks to Margaretta's help, I was able to secure an internship at Narciso Rodriguez, which led to many amazing opportunities and really solidified my desire to work in the industry. Since then, I've even launched my own company, all stemming from the support I received from Margaretta. Margaretta is the Empress of all things Tech.
