Zina Kaye
Zina is a technologist, futurist, and innovation strategist who’s been shaping the future for over three decades. Long before “disruption” became a buzzword, she was living it, from hacking text servers in the early 1990s to developing one of Australia’s first UAVs before drones became popular.
She’s worked across fintech, cleantech, IoT, AI, and digital media, helping governments, startups, and enterprises turn uncertainty into opportunity. Known as “the futurist who embraces the chaos,” Zina turns complex technology into human stories that unite creativity, culture, and code.
Through Holy Sydney, she leads projects that blend technology with purpose, from climate adaptation to programs empowering communities through curiosity and connection.
Her approach is playful yet profound, reminding us that behind every breakthrough lies a failed idea reborn and that the best way to predict the future is to build it together.
