Inmaculada Alarcón

Inmaculada Alarcón

My name is Inma Alarcon Torres, CTO of SIPSA and TAST product Owner.

I am a Telecommunications Engineer (E.T.S.I.T - U.P.M) and throughout my professional career I have specialised in Quality, Testing and Test Automation.

I started developing test applications to test the telephony services of the main European Telco companies, and that's where I started to develop the idea of defining a product that would allow to perform automatic tests in a simple way, without having to know how to program, in order to make the testing process efficient and to reuse all the knowledge that functional testers have.

Due to the comings and goings of the economy and the crisis, I went on to work in process consulting and quality assurance for large organisations (Ericsson, Grupo Santander, BMW, Vodafone, etc.), which led me to complete my profile and understand the impact of technological evolution in organisations of all sizes.

In 2017, from SIPSA, I had the opportunity to make the product TAST (Test Automation System Tool - "my son 😊") the test automation tool that we are implementing in organisations of all sizes to cover test automation in transformation projects, a reality.

And because it's not all work, I describe myself as an enthusiastic, enterprising and hard-working person who, apart from being passionate about her work: quality, testing, automation and efficiency, likes to enjoy family and friends, sport (I'm a triathlete) and music, I play the tenor trombone and dare to play the drums.

Emmanuel Ventura Villanueva

Emmanuel Ventura Villanueva

With nearly 25 years in the digital industry, including a decade dedicated to promoting agile values, I have been at the heart of the revolutions of our time. I have witnessed the transformative power that comes from aligning individuals around a common purpose, a vision. At the heart of every transformation is the human element.

As an agile coach, facilitator and trainer, I have been on a never-ending quest to understand team dynamics and the mechanisms that enable each individual to thrive in an ever-changing environment. My career is made up of stories of encounters where I have guided clients and teams to achieve their goals.

My core belief is that communication and collaboration within organisations are the catalysts for innovation and value creation. With this in mind, I turned to agility and organisational design, where every project is a human adventure before it is a technological challenge.

I'm deeply invested in the agile community, sharing knowledge and contributing to an ecosystem where experience is valued and shared. I've been passionately exploring the first word of the first value of the Manifesto, "Individuals", for almost 10 years.

Alexia Georghiou

Alexia Georghiou

For decades, I worked in clinical and administrative roles in mental health, eating disorders, and substance abuse, serving children, teens, families, and adults through individual sessions, group work, and community initiatives.

2019 was a transformative year for me. I founded the Knoxville Happiness Coalition, hosting meetings until March 2020, when the pandemic halted in-person gatherings. Our events featured speakers from diverse backgrounds who had discovered happiness. This inspired me to study happiness and positive psychology, earning a certification from the Fellowship's premier masterclass on organizational culture and completing a leadership and management certification through Wharton Online.

In 2019, I began teaching at the University of Tennessee’s Center for Professional Education & Lifelong Learning. That same year, I joined the World Happiness Fest, planning an event for March 2020 to promote cross-cultural happiness. Around this time, I lost my role as a program coordinator due to layoffs. I created my first online course in 2019, and joined LearnFormula 2021. Since then, I’ve developed 20 courses on leadership, communication, workforce skills, mental health, and organizational transformation.

In 2019, I also joined the Knoxville Association of Women Executives (KAWE), quickly accepting a board position. I became president in 2022 and led initiatives such as awarding scholarships to college students, recognizing women leaders with the Notable Woman Award, composing press releases, and managing marketing campaigns on social media. I supported board transitions in 2023 to ensure continued success with community projects and leadership development.

In 2020, I joined the board of the Oak Ridge Human Resources Association (ORHRA), leading programs to advance local HR initiatives. By 2022, I helped form the Oak Ridge Human Resources Alliance as ORHRA merged with the Oak Ridge Chamber. I continued as an advisor since 2023, to shape HR policies benefiting the community.

My vision for community improvement expanded through Life Betterment Through God, an initiative offering culture and leadership training for ministry leaders. Over the past five years, I’ve written extensively, podcasted, and launched a newsletter, Life Skills for Leadership, featuring three columns and a library of 800+ resources for organizations and ministries. My mission is to transform communities one person, church, and organization at a time.

My book, The Future of Work is Human and The Future of Success is Happiness, helps professionals develop positive psychological capital in the work setting.

My signature V.A.L.U.E.S. Model—Vision, Action, Leadership, Unity, Engagement, Synthesis—based on empirically proven Positive Psychology practices expands organizational capacity. At the heart of my approach is storytelling, a powerful catalyst for organizational development and transformative advocacy.
