Madeline Smith

Background

About Madeline Smith

I’m a Toronto-based actor, community builder, and program manager with an eclectic professional background across the arts, education, nonprofit, and tech sectors. The throughline is this: I take things that are good and make them great, and I bring humanity to the work so people feel connected, energized, and excited. Right now, I work at Cohere Labs, the research arm of Cohere, where I bridge vision and operations: translating ambitious research goals into practical strategies, building open science community initiatives, and keeping people connected in the fast-moving world of AI research. Alongside this, I continue to engage in my own artistic practice. I thrive when I’m helping people shine- by creating spaces where they feel seen and supported, and by turning complex ideas into stories and systems that bring us together around shared purpose.
