I am pleased to wholeheartedly recommend Tania for her outstanding expertise in chatbots and her profound insights into the ethics of artificial intelligence and technology. Tania gave a corporate presentation on chatbots demonstrating impressive in-depth knowledge and ability to communicate complex concepts with clarity and enthusiasm.

Her presentation not only showcased technical prowess but also demonstrated a keen understanding of the ethical considerations surrounding artificial intelligence. Tania is undoubtedly a technologist of the highest calibre, evident not only in her presentations but also in her written works.

As an accomplished author of books on the subject, she has contributed significantly to the discourse on the ethical implications of AI. Her commitment to fostering a responsible and inclusive approach to technology is truly commendable. I do not doubt that Tania will continue to be a leading voice in her fields of expertise inspiring others with her ethical approach.

To Whom It May Concern,

It is my distinct pleasure to provide this letter of reference for Dr. phil. Tania Peitzker, who served as Adjunct Professor for Immersive Technology and Applied AI at the University of Silicon Valley (USV) from 2022 to 2024. During my tenure as the Head of the Computer Science Department at USV, I had the privilege of headhunting and mentoring Dr. Peitzker, witnessing firsthand her transformative impact on our academic community.

Dr. Peitzker is a visionary educator and researcher with a unique ability to bridge theoretical knowledge and practical application. Her courses were rigorous and intellectually stimulating, often incorporating cutting-edge tools in interactive holograms and applied AI. Beyond her teaching, she is a prolific author and thought leader, currently mentoring an interactive AI hologram project for her forthcoming book, AI, Civility, and the Climate Crisis.

Her interdisciplinary background -spanning AI, law, and intellectual property -makes her an unparalleled asset to any institution. Her ability to collaborate across fields and drive innovation is exceptional. I wholeheartedly recommend Dr. Peitzker for any role that demands creativity, technical acumen, and leadership in immersive technology.

Please feel free to contact me if you require further information.

Sincerely,

Ms. Peitzker is a fantastic educator, she goes above and beyond for her students and always makes sure that everyone understands the subject she is teaching.

I thoroughly enjoyed her class -- I learned so much about the metaverse and all the cool software that's being developed -- introducing AI in wonderful new ways!

All in all I highly recommend her because her work ethic is truly excellent.

I had the privilege of working with Dr Tania Peitzker during the Impact10X accelerator this last week, where she delivered pitch deck coaching, IP guidance, and practical advice that made a tangible difference in my journey and the journeys of other founders in our cohort.

Her feedback on my pitch was perfect - clear, actionable, and grounded in her deep experience in commercialisation and investment. I implemented her suggestions immediately, and the results spoke for themselves when I went back to present again.

Beyond her technical expertise in AI, IP, and emerging technologies, what impressed me most was her generosity and genuine investment in the founders she supported.

Tania doesn’t just deliver theory - she equips you with tools you can use straight away, while also boosting your confidence as a founder. I’m very grateful for her insight and encouragement, and I’d highly recommend Tania to anyone seeking expert guidance at the intersection of technology, IP, and strategy.

In addition to her immense knowledge of AI, Tania brings a great deal of enthusiasm and energy that is inspiring. If something doesn't work out the way it should ideally: she also goes the extra mile.

I had the privilege of receiving early pitch coaching from Tania. Drawing on deep tech-investing experience, she sharpened my elevator pitch and clarified how to capture investor interest.

Two points really stuck: you can’t scale alone, hire exceptional salespeople and drive growth through the team and when seeking that initial seed capital, you must position yourself as investment-worthy, so you stand out.

She also stressed staying investor-ready, even when you’re not actively raising, and shared practical guidance for scaling once traction hits. If you’re an entrepreneur looking to tighten your pitch, refine fundraising, or scale effectively, I wholeheartedly recommend connecting with Tania.

Tania came at the Impact10x Program and provided great professional guidance, as a start-up founder in the AI space this level of knowledge and experience comes around rarely. It was a real privilege and I look forward to keeping in touch with Tania and her future endeavours!

Since Tania came on board, her enthusiasm for innovative approaches to emotional literacy and well-being has been vital in the first pivotal steps of bringing our methodology forward. Her commitment and energy have already added real momentum.

In the short time we’ve worked together, her global perspective and insights have been imperative in helping us pivot from what could have remained a small, local initiative toward a vision with genuine global potential. Even from our initial conversations, the direction and scale of what we’re building has been reshaped in meaningful ways thanks to her guidance.

Her willingness to step in as a potential first NED marks an important milestone, and I’m excited about the path we’re now blazing together.
