About Nina
Nina Jane Patel is a leading voice at the intersection of psychology, child protection and emerging technology—an acclaimed speaker, psychotherapist and founder of My Guardian Global, a social-impact venture dedicated to safeguarding and supporting children and young people exposed to harms and trauma in virtual and gaming spaces.
Her thought-provoking keynotes have headlined at AI Summit London, London Tech Week, WeProtect Global Alliance Summit, and the Dallas Crimes Against Children Conference, where she translates complex research on immersive tech into clear, actionable strategies for educators, policymakers, and industry leaders.
She also serves as subject matter expert Zero Abuse Project, delivering trauma-informed training to law enforcement officers that empowers investigators to prevent and respond to technology-facilitated abuse. Through every platform—from international stages to frontline workshops—Nina champions a future in which innovation and child wellbeing advance hand in hand.
As the author of “Childhood in a Quantum Age” (soon to be published by Springer Nature) and the creator of “Navigating the Future” workshop series, Nina equips families with evidence-based tools for future resilience, while her expert commentary has been featured by BBC, CNN, CNBC, and British Vogue.

"I strongly believe that she is one of those very few people in the world who can not only share real life experiences but also speak about the subject with so much clarity. Her profound understanding of the complexities and innovative solutions were practical and easy to understand – even for a lay person. Her dedication towards this topic (digital safety for children) is phenomenal.
