Aimée-Louise Carton

Aimée-Louise Carton is a digital health and AI leader who transforms how organisations approach mental wellbeing through technology and lived experience. As the founder of KeepAppy, an award-winning wellness app, and now Global Director at Concentrix, she has successfully exited her startup whilst continuing to champion preventative mental health care for the millions who struggle in silence. Recognised in Ireland's 30 Under 30 Entrepreneurs and the Irish Times 50 People to Watch, her work spans digital innovation, crisis care technology, and large-scale mental health networks. Audiences leave her sessions equipped with practical tools to embed wellbeing into their culture, inspired by her authentic storytelling and empowered to create meaningful change within their teams and organisations.

Standing on a bridge in 2017, moments from ending her life, Aimée-Louise Carton made a choice that would not only save her own future but reshape how millions access mental health support. Rescued by a helpline volunteer and her dog Aura, she transformed her darkest moment into a catalyst for change, co-founding KeepAppy, an internationally award-winning wellness app that has since evolved into a successful exit whilst she continues her mission as Global Director at Concentrix. Her journey from suicidal ideation to pitching at Web Summit exemplifies the power of lived experience combined with entrepreneurial vision, and her determination to reach the two in three people suffering from mental illness who will never seek help drives everything she does.

Aimée's credentials span social enterprise, digital health innovation, and large-scale systems change. After spending a year emailing Ireland's Health Minister weekly to advocate for improvements to underfunded mental health services, she channelled her frustration with the status quo into building technology-driven solutions. Her work co-founding America's largest umbrella mental health network during the COVID pandemic demonstrated her ability to respond rapidly to crisis, developing technology that connected individuals to care during unprecedented uncertainty. Recognised as one of Ireland's 30 Under 30 Entrepreneurs, featured amongst 20 Women to Watch in 2020, and selected as one of only two women in the Irish Times 50 People to Watch in 2021, she has established herself as a leading voice at the intersection of AI, digital health, and human wellbeing. Her academic foundation in politics and sociology from Trinity College Dublin, combined with her background in social justice organisations, informs her approach to destigmatising mental unwellness through accessible, preventative technology.

Aimée equips audiences with practical tools and frameworks they can implement immediately within their organisations and teams. Her presentations blend authentic storytelling with actionable strategies for embedding wellbeing into workplace culture, drawing on her experience scaling digital health solutions and leading innovation at a global level. She demonstrates how technology can humanise rather than replace care, showing leaders how to create environments where mental health is prioritised before crisis point. Audiences leave her sessions not only moved by her personal journey but empowered with concrete methods to support their people, challenge stigma, and build sustainable wellbeing initiatives that create lasting impact across their organisations.
