SDG Group Hosts First European Edition of World Leaders in Data & AI

This exclusive event brought together global leaders and C-level executives to discuss the future of data technologies and artificial intelligence.

Madrid, October 16, 2025 – SDG Group, a leading consulting firm in Artificial Intelligence and Data, hosted today at its Barcelona offices the first European edition of the WLDA Leaders Meet. This prestigious, invitation-only event gathered global leaders, C-level executives, and vice presidents with at least 15 years of industry experience to discuss the latest trends in data and artificial intelligence technologies.

The WLDA (World Leaders in Data and AI) is a global organization for technology leaders built on the principles of community, exclusivity, diversity, and trust. Over the past few years, it has hosted events across different regions worldwide, and on this occasion, it chose Barcelona for its first European forum.

The WLDA Leaders Meet took place today, October 16, at SDG Group’s Barcelona offices, featuring the participation of several top executives, including Asha Saxena, Founder and CEO of WLDA; Marcos Rodríguez, Partner and Head of Global Clients at SDG Group; and Muriel Moscardini, Head of Market Expansion for France, DACH, and the Nordics at SDG Group, who moderated a panel discussion on how to build a more ethical, responsible, and inclusive future for AI.

The event took place during a week with a strong focus on innovation in Barcelona, coinciding with the AI Summit Barcelona, where artificial intelligence experts such as Marcos Rodríguez and Asha Saxena also took part, sharing their perspectives on the development and implementation of AI in Europe.

“Europe is at a decisive moment in how we align intelligence and integrity. The WLDA Leaders Meet we just held in Barcelona brought together several industry leaders to translate that alignment into concrete actions — where strategy, technology, and ethics move forward in unison. When leadership works with a shared purpose, AI not only becomes a very powerful tool, but also something profoundly human,” says Asha Saxena, Founder and CEO of World Leaders in Data and AI (WLDA).

“We are thrilled to have hosted this event — not only because Barcelona was chosen as the venue for the first European edition, but also for the valuable insights and synergies we shared with participants, particularly around the ethical development of AI,” concluded Muriel Moscardini, Head of Market Expansion SDG Group France, DACH, and Nordics.
