Rica Elysée is the founder of BeautyLynk (beautylynk.com), an on-demand beauty service that brings the salon into women's homes and is bookable in more than 180 US markets. She started out as a community organizer and marketer who built an influential beauty and makeup community for women of color in Boston. While helping care for a disabled family member, she saw how much a good hair appointment lifted that family member's confidence - and how hard it was to find an accessible salon and to book and keep appointments. Most women in her beauty group described the same problems: late or canceled appointments and long waits for beauty services. So she used what she knew about the beauty industry, marketing and community building to go after the "beauty bookings" problem.

Rica is also the creator of Care in the Chair™, a training program that prepares licensed beauty professionals - stylists, barbers, nail technicians and estheticians - to recognize signs of distress in the chair and respond in ways that keep both the client and the professional safe. She writes The Beauty Brief, a Substack publication covering the beauty industry.

She has a longstanding passion for helping women entrepreneurs through her work with #AttheTable (atthetable.io) and #FemaleFoundersDay.

Rica speaks in two lanes: trauma-aware client care and the beauty chair as a health-adjacent touchpoint, and building technology-enabled service businesses as a Black woman founder in tech.

Peter Ward is CEO of SoHo Dragon, a New York–based Microsoft Partner — though he began as a CTO and never entirely stopped behaving like one.

While much of the technology industry focuses on what’s new, Peter is more interested in what works. He has spent years helping organizations implement Microsoft cloud solutions by mastering proven capabilities and executing them without unnecessary drama.

A co-author of four SharePoint books and author of Leadership in a Zoom Economy with Microsoft Teams, Peter continues to contribute to GitHub and remains closely involved in Azure and Microsoft 365 delivery. He has a mild distrust of unnecessary complexity, a preference for projects delivered on time and on budget, and a habit of asking what organisations are really trying to optimize.

He believes most expensive technology mistakes look impressive at the time — and that simplicity is still enterprise IT’s most underused advantage.

Other traits
- Good O365 trainer and motivator
- Good at thinking on my feet in meetings or complex situations
- I find myself often being able to get to the heart of the issue whilst not ruffling too many feathers
- Love yoga, vegetarian food, and reading Malcolm Gladwell books
