IJEOMA CHIEMELA

I design and lead human-centered interventions that combine behavioral science with emerging technologies: AI / Machine Learning, Blockchain, and Quantum: to tackle global risks, address malnutrition, and strengthen communities. I also help leaders and organisations implement Generative Artificial Intelligence (AI) solutions through AI Literacy sessions, AI Strategy, Implementation, Leadership & Transformation, Human-Centered AI-Intervention Design; therefore, creating high ROI profit, impact, and relevance.

For over a decade, I’ve worked across 1,000+ underserved, remote, and hard-to-reach communities, including conflict zones and 3,000+ grassroots networks on public health, nutrition, WASH, gender, education, and climate, helping organizations shift from activity-heavy to outcome-driven. Trained over 29,000 Community Leaders and directly reached over 713,000persons through Community Engagement activities. My toolkit includes Human-Centered Design, Behavioral Science, Community Mobilization, Biomimicry, Organizational Development, and Responsible AI.

A key part of my work has been in Social and Behavior Change (SBC). I’ve led Community Mobilization, demand creation, RCCE, safer programming, and community engagement strategies across Reproductive, Maternal, Newborn, and Child Health plus Nutrition (RMNCH+N), immunization, Malaria, Family Planning, and major global health threats, including COVID-19, monkeypox, cholera, rabies, Lassa fever, diphtheria, zoonotic diseases, and GHSA-driven interventions, working with many global and local Humanitarian and Development Organisations. These experiences taught me to bridge global protocols with community realities, mobilizing communities for action and building local resilience.

Through VitalNutrient, I fight malnutrition by blending behavioral sciences, Human-Centered Design(HCD), and emerging tech.

Through SiX(Social Impact eXperience), I equip nonprofit leaders and changemakers to Build, Fund, and Scale their initiatives using frontier tools (AI, Blockchain, Quantum) and participatory governance.

Today, my frontier work encompasses biosecurity, pandemic preparedness, biotechnology, genomics, and nuclear safety/security while also addressing broader risks to ensure technology serves humanity’s urgent needs. I am currently advancing my learning in Machine Learning, Quantum ML, and AI automation to design and implement AI-driven systems for global health & development, biosecurity, and pandemic defense, while also exploring how edge computing and photonics can strengthen global defenses against catastrophic biological and technological risks.

At the core of my work is empathy, co-design, and a belief that innovation must stay rooted in humanity.

I believe The People closest to the Problem should Be Closest to the Model.
