Kira Koopman is an experienced learning and capability leader specialising in digital learning transformation, culture change, and enterprise capability building. She works at the intersection of strategy, technology, and human behaviour, helping organisations move beyond “learning as content” toward learning as a driver of performance, culture, and strategic outcomes.
With deep experience across large, complex organisations from financial services to the development sectors, Kira has led group-wide learning strategy design, large-scale digital learning ecosystems, and leadership and behavioural capability programmes that deliver measurable impact. Her work focuses on embedding learning into the flow of work, aligning capability building to business priorities, and designing systems that scale sustainably.
A growing focus of her work is digital and AI capability building – not just from a tools perspective, but through the lens of organisational readiness, skills, governance, and behaviour change. She regularly works with leaders to explore how AI can be adopted responsibly and pragmatically within Learning & Development, avoiding hype while unlocking real value.
Kira is known for translating complex ideas into practical frameworks and advocates for impact-led learning strategies, moving beyond completion metrics toward evidence of behaviour change, performance uplift, and organisational value.
She holds a Master of Business Administration degree from UCT’s Graduate School of Business, and most recently, a Postgraduate Diploma in Futures Studies & Managing New Technologies from Stellenbosch Business School, specialising in technology adoption, culture change and organisational transformation.
