Rafael Tizzani

En sus inicios lideró la guerra de las colas de los 90, reposicionando en el liderazgo a la hasta entonces desaparecida Pepsi. Este logro fue resultado de aplicar creatividad y esfuerzos comerciales que revolucionaron las técnicas de promoción y venta en nuestro país.

Luego impulsó los cambios en Bieckert, tomando más de 20 puntos de participación del líder del mercado. En esta ocasión la segmentación y los cambios en la distribución fueron las claves para lograr el éxito.

Cerrando el ciclo de bebidas recaló en IVESS dónde la necesidad era “un cambio total”, pasar de una cultura de reparto y monoproducto a una de venta profesional multiproducto, logrando vencer las barreras del cambio que colocan las personas cuando están en un negocio rentable con una marca líder.

El siguiente paso fue desarrollar planes comerciales innovadores en Arcor directamente desde el área de RRHH comercial, la función era desarrollar la máxima potencialidad a través de planes de seguimiento que involucraban la capacitación y mejora continua...

El punto en común de esta primera etapa era enseñar a las compañías de consumo masivo a brindar servicio y potenciar los procesos de calidad. En la segunda la misión fue despertar a las empresas de servicios hacia la necesidad del consumo masivo, adaptación al cambio y creatividad.

Así fueron Hartford Life, Liberty, BNL, Lloyds Bank, Banco Galicia, AFJP Prorenta y Citibank, los primeros beneficiados a través de los servicios de consultoría y capacitación.

Han pasado más de veinte años y con servicios de excelencia acompañó importantes emprendimientos de capacitación a empresas como: Sancor Seguros, Neoris, Automóvil Club, AGFA, Telecom, Calsa, AUDI, Carrefour, VW, Philis Morris, DHL, YPF, Exxon Mobil, Du Pont Pionner, John Deere, Manpower, Fibertel, Toyota, Peugeot, Novartis, Unilever, Accenture, ACARA, Energía San Juan, Shell, San Cristóbal y muchas más.

También trabaja con empresas en el exterior y acreditó experiencia como profesor de la UBA y USAL en Negociación, Ventas, Liderazgo, Coaching y Creatividad.

Anupriy Kanti

Anupriy Kanti

Anupriy Kanti is a UX Design Leader and Content Strategist with over 14 years of experience designing for B2C and B2B products across various domains. He has led multidisciplinary teams in design agencies like Think Design and FoxyMoron, as well as high-growth unicorns such as Zeta and Infra.Market — where he built and scaled content design functions from the ground up.

Anupriy’s work intersects with systems thinking, storytelling, and UX clarity. He is known for developing frameworks and playbooks that make information architecture and content strategy accessible to cross-functional teams. As a design mentor and a frequent speaker across design communities, he employs metaphor-rich thinking to translate abstract ideas into practical tools and playbooks.

When he is not building design systems or advocating for content-informed UX, you will find him conducting mythological-prehistory walks in Bengaluru or decoding cosmic stories from deep time.

you may recognise me from this year's BBC The Apprentice.

I bring a unique blend of business leadership and media experience. Earlier this year, I appeared on BBC’s The Apprentice, reaching Week 8 with five wins including one as Project Manager, and a feature in the final episode. Following the show, I was invited to share my story on BBC News, BBC Radio 5 live, BBC South East, Manoto (Persian TV), and across multiple radio stations including BBC Radio Sussex, V2 Radio, and Greatest Hits Radio. I’ve also been featured in publications such as Daily Mail, Metro, The Mirror, The Sun, Recruiter Magazine, and Yahoo News.

As a speaker, I’ve delivered talks at Spotify, NBC Universal, and the University of Brighton (I will have completed a TedX Talk by the time this event is coming up, as it’s booked for October) covering topics including entrepreneurship, women in business, diversity and inclusion, how men can be great advocates for women, working in a male dominating industry such as recruitment, how to start a business, career independence, and the evolving AI landscape. I also host SkillTorch Disrupt, a podcast spotlighting stories of leadership and innovation within the tech and AI space.

Raised by a single father in an immigrant Persian household, I’ve always been fiercely independent. From buying my first property at a young age and now having 3, moving to Southern California alone in my 20s, to launching a business that works with global tech leaders, my journey reflects resilience, adaptability, and a passion for impact.

Martin Keary

Martin Keary

As Head of Software at Muse, I oversee and mentor teams responsible for our musical creation products, including MuseScore Studio, Audacity, Audio.com and MuseSounds. My responsibility is to ensure that our products grow to reach new audiences, providing free tools that compete with the best paid offerings on the market. It’s a role that requires a fine balance between big-picture strategic thinking and attention to the intricate details that make each product stand out.

My background is deeply rooted in product design for services used by millions of people. While at Microsoft, I led the design efforts for Paint 3D and applications for the Hololens AR headset. When I joined Muse, I became the product owner for MuseScore Studio, transforming it into the most popular notation application worldwide. I have also been running the popular audio editing application, Audacity for the last three years, focusing on significantly improving its capability and usability to make it a one-stop destination for podcasters and (eventually) musicians too. I am also experienced in effective product marketing and have produced numerous viral videos to promote Muse releases.

Outside of my professional responsibilities, I run a YouTube channel called 'Tantacrul', where I share my thoughts on music, technology, philosophy, and design. This platform allows me to connect with a broader audience, sharing insights and sparking discussions on subjects I'm passionate about. It’s a space where I can blend my personal interests with my professional expertise, engaging with a community that shares my enthusiasm for creativity and innovation.

I have a lot of experience working on open source products and collaborating in open source communities.

I have a degree in design from LSAD in Ireland and a master's degree in music composition from the Royal Conservatoire of Scotland.

Chris Elmore

Chris Elmore

Instead of a traditional bio, I asked ChatGPT: "If I were a font, which one would I be?"

The response?

Chris, you’d be Bebas Neue—a bold, confident, slightly unconventional font that still maintains clarity and professionalism. It represents your entrepreneurial mindset, rock-and-roll edge, deep faith, and your ability to balance fun with strategic leadership.
That sums me up well. I don’t fit neatly into a box—I’m an entrepreneur, a musician, a writer, and a teacher. But at my core, I help people innovate, sell, and grow by blending real-world experience with a practical, no-nonsense approach.

Why Hire Me?

Some speakers build their careers by talking about… their speaking careers.
I’m different.

Everything I share comes from real experience—hard-earned lessons from building businesses, making thousands of sales calls, and leading high-growth teams. When I get on stage, I don’t deliver theories. I deliver what works—because I’ve lived it.

Two Numbers That Changed My Life

1. 5,000 Cold Calls
Fresh out of college, I had no marketable skills. My degree in History and Museum Studies wasn’t exactly in high demand. My newlywed wife and I needed to eat, so I decided: I was going to learn how to sell.I took a job selling life insurance. I was terrible. My first-year earnings: $2,163.72. (Yes, I counted the decimals.) I knew I had to do something different, so I focused on mastering cold calling—because most people hated it, which made it valuable. After bouncing between six companies in five years, I finally committed. I took a job at a startup—just me and two other guys working in a bonus room. That year, I made 5,000 cold calls.

2. 9,000 Pitches
Over the years, I’ve pitched AP automation technology 9,000 times. Not because I have a special gift—because I’ve done it repeatedly. Of those 9,000 pitches, 1,200 turned into business. The other 7,800? Most people would call them failures. I call them education.
Here’s my definition of failure: Failure is making the same stupid mistake twice.

Her work has been featured on MSN and Rolling Out.

With over 25 years under her belt, Contressa teaches for the Georgia Department of Education and for the Technical College System of Georgia.

Students graduate from high school with a certificate(s), diploma, and/or an associate’s degree that allows them to go straight into their career field.

"Teaching post-secondary education allows me to prep students for their state board licensure exams and teach them the rules and regulations of their state. My number one priority is building their confidence, pushing them to their highest potential, and helping them accomplish their goals. I’ve served as a judge and advisor for Georgia’s SkillsUSA Cosmetology for the past two years. By having experience in both areas, I can properly train students for regional, state, and national competitions."

Contressa is the founder and CEO of Noble Glam Hair Collection LLC, an e-commerce beauty supply store that services customers worldwide.
