Cayman Compass
A Cayman mother’s journey to global AI leader
Tamsin Deasey-Weinstein wakes up at 4:30 every morning, long before her children. Those quiet hours are when she studies, writes or prepares for the day ahead. Later, after homework is finished and her children are asleep, she begins a second round of work.
“I sacrifice lie-ins and TV, not family time,” she says of cherished moments with her spouse, Diana and their two children, Riva and Rafferty, ages 11 and 6.
Sheer determination has carried the director at the University College of the Cayman Islands and one of the Caribbean’s leading voices in AI from a rural childhood in Lancashire to one of the world’s most prestigious universities.
Deasey-Weinstein was recently awarded a coveted place at the University of Oxford’s Saïd Business School. She will study for an executive diploma in artificial intelligence for business, supported by the executive diploma scholarship for women. It is an achievement that situates her in an elite network of executives who are not only fluent in technology, but also tasked with shaping how AI transforms societies.
