I have a background in economics and social entrepreneurship. I began my career working with a grassroots organisation in Calcutta, India, where I surveyed climate migration patterns and assessed the electrification needs of urban slum settlements. Previously, I held roles at organisations such as the Carbon Tracker Initiative (a London-based climate think tank), Agami (a non-profit based in India supporting innovation in law and justice ), and Ashoka Innovators for the Public (global philanthropy supporting social entrepreneurs around the world), where I focused on addressing systemic inequality, promoting social innovation, and shaping climate policy in South Asia.

My interest in critical minerals began during my Master’s studies in Ecological Economics, where I explored the just transition aspects of the Green New Deal.

Tim Ceradsky

I work as a director in the Value & Solution Engineering group for BMC Intelligent Z Optimization and Transformation. My team of Solution Engineers works with clients all over the world helping them realize their Developer Experience dreams, which feeds right into maximizing their ability to contribute to DevOps, connecting the mainframe to the cloud in a unique and powerful way to enable more access to analytics, and overall a more agile mainframe experience. There is nothing more exciting than to have a client jump up and realize that they are not hindered by the platform, it is the assumptions about the platform that hold them back. Many people have stated that, after starting a DevOps journey, that they actually build and deploy code faster than their distributed partners, which is awesome to hear!

In my spare time, I have 4 adult children and a wife who is an accomplished stage and technical director. Between ballet, stage, and music, much of our time is taken up by the arts, but my wife and I have taken up off-roading in our lifted Jeep, so we can get away from it all and climb over big rocks, just because they are there. My technical passions outside of mainframe DevOps and cloud center around AI and Virtual Reality, because I see a revolution coming in how we build, consume, and leverage the digital world.

Nir Bashan

Nir Bashan

Nir Bashan spent a lot of time on skid row.

He wasn’t there for the shadow economy of drugs and prostitution and discounts on designer knock offs. Instead, he found his formative years in a warehouse in the middle of skid row in downtown Los Angeles. For what he found in this warehouse changed his life forever.

This warehouse bristled with an energy unlike any he has ever experienced. It was a rehearsal space for musicians from all over the world. Where else could a kid jam with the likes of Fishbone and Rob Zombie? All of which Nir did his best to keep up with. Initially, Nir thought it was the music that made the place so electric. He would spend the rest of his life learning otherwise. It was not the music or art that made the place irresistible. It was the creativity. This experience energized Nir and inspired him to devote the rest of his life to spreading creativity to the four corners of the globe.

Today, Nir is a top business speaker leading innovation for high performing leaders and individuals around the globe. As founder and CEO of The Creator Mindset® LLC, where he helps organizations and leaders foster a culture of innovation with his groundbreaking creativity keynote speeches that supercharge business models to improve profitability, increase sales, and boost customer service. He speaks at conferences and events on the creative potential in every single human being on earth. He is represented by 6 speaking bureaus and is consistently ranked as a top innovation keynote speaker. As an invited guest, he regularly speaks to some of the most beloved brands on earth such as Rolex and Porsche.
