Milan Parikh

I am an Enterprise Solution Architect and technology leader specializing in AI-driven cloud architectures, Microsoft Fabric, Power Platform, Azure serverless platforms, and enterprise data modernization. I work at the intersection of artificial intelligence, distributed systems, and low-code engineering, helping organizations design scalable, autonomous cloud operations grounded in strong data foundations.

With more than 15 years of experience working with organizations across many industries, including Fortune 500 companies, I have led large-scale digital transformation programs that modernize legacy platforms into event-driven, serverless, AI-ready ecosystems. My work focuses on building intelligent operational architectures that combine Microsoft Fabric, Power Platform, Microsoft Dynamics 365, Azure Functions, Logic Apps, and Dataverse with AI agents to enable self-healing workflows, predictive insights, and real-time decision automation. I delivered end-to-end solutions where Dynamics 365 drives core business process automation, Power Platform enables rapid low-code development and citizen-led innovation, and Microsoft Fabric unifies data engineering, analytics, and AI workloads into a single governed platform.

I am a Fellow of the British Computer Society (FBCS), Fellow of IETE (FIETE), Senior Member of IEEE (SMIEEE), and Distinguished Fellow of the Soft Computing Research Society. I serve as a technical program committee member, reviewer, and keynote speaker at international conferences, contributing research and thought leadership in AI governance, data architecture, and low-code engineering at scale.

Je suis tombé dans l’agilité il y a plus de 10 ans et depuis, j’accompagne les équipes et les organisations à mieux naviguer dans la complexité. Aujourd’hui, je co-pilote le centre agile de CACIB en position de freelance après avoir collaborer avec le centre agile et accompagner plus de 15 équipes, où j’aide les directeurs et les équipes à transformer leur façon de travailler, avec une approche pragmatique et humaine.

Mon parcours mélange coaching agile, coaching pro et transformation organisationnelle. J’aime creuser ce qui permet (ou empêche) une transformation de vraiment prendre, au-delà des frameworks et des bonnes intentions. J’utilise des modèles comme l’Analyse Transactionnelle, la systémique ou le Solution Focus pour aider les organisations à dépasser leurs blocages et à créer un changement qui tient dans le temps.

À travers mes conférences, j’aime à partager des clés concrètes et des retours d’expérience sur la transformation des organisations, sans bullshit ni recette magique, mais avec des leviers actionnables dès demain basé sur l'approche Tete/Coeur/Corps, l'analyse transactionnelle et l'approche systémique.

Mira Horáček

Mira Horáček

Mira is a Staff Security/Software Engineer at a unicorn-stage SaaS company running on Microsoft Azure in a multi-cloud environment. As one of the ten architects responsible for both software and security architecture, he shapes the trajectory of a platform built on .NET - from the monolith that carries the business to the emerging microservices that will define its future, while being actively engaged in both business and technical guidance during M&A events.

By day, I navigate the tension between shipping fast and shipping safe across a product surface that now includes LLM-powered features. By night (and early morning, and weekends), I build games, convenience apps, and small tools using every conventional and unconventional AI coding assistant I can get his hands on (I used to do small scoped projects prior to the AI era as well) and I have the experience as both a hobby and a long-running field study in what these tools actually produce.

I speak from the intersection of architecture, security, culture, and hands-on making. I have some production scars, real side-project joy, and very few slides with stock photos.

Robert Johnson

Robert Johnson

Some leaders command a room. Robert H. Johnson Jr. changes what happens when people leave it.

A Culture and Leadership Strategist, TEDx speaker, and Amazon #1 bestselling author, Robert spent 20+ years inside Fortune 100 organizations — Amazon, Nike, Capital One, Lucid Motors — studying one persistent question: Why do talented people disengage, disconnect, and disappear?

His answer became a movement. The TACT® Leadership Framework — Trust, Accountability, Communication with Intent, Take Action — is an independently validated model deployed across 500+ leaders and 73,000+ employees.

His Three C’s of Community™ framework gives organizations the language and the ledger to quantify what disconnected leadership is actually costing them.

In 2020, Robert made a defining choice — he walked away from corporate America and became The Corporate Dropout: a strategist, speaker, and author committed to building what most organizations aspire to but few achieve: cultures where people feel genuinely safe, seen, heard, and valued.

His work blends the rigor of research, the resonance of lived experience, and the rare ability to make leaders feel both challenged and cared for — often in the same sentence.

Hernan Huwyler

Hernan Huwyler

Hernan Huwyler is a Global Risk Management Executive and the Academic Director at IE Law and Business School (Executive Education). With a dual background as an MBA and CPA, Hernan specializes in the intersection of Law, Technology, and Quantitative Risk.

He focuses on "translating" complex regulatory frameworks (EU AI Act, GDPR, ISO 42001) into actionable architectures for engineering and business teams. Unlike traditional compliance officers, Hernan advocates for data-driven risk management, moving beyond "heatmaps" to utilize Monte Carlo simulations, convolution models, and Python-based risk quantification.

Hernan has led Risk, Control, and Audit functions for major multinational corporations across Europe and the Americas. He writes and speaks extensively on Adversarial AI, Algorithmic Auditing, and the financial quantification of Cyber Risk. Past keynote venues include Risk Awareness Conferences (>2,000 risk managers), IIA and ISACA Summits, ProcureCom Europe, IKN Madrid, IE University, and closed-door sessions for international organizations and national regulators. Hernan’s talks consistently rank in the top 5% of conference feedback scores because he makes complex security requirements, business needs and regulations feel like a competitive advantage.

Speaking Topics:

AI Governance: Implementing ISO 42001 and navigating the EU AI Act.
Risk Quantification: Why "Impact x Probability" fails and how to use convolution models.
Adversarial AI: Balancing transparency with security to prevent data poisoning.
AI ROI: Risk-adjusted financial modeling for Generative AI deployments.

Ready-to-Submit Talk Proposals:

Session 1: The Technical/Quant Talk

Title: Kill the Heatmap: Quantifying AI Risk with Python & Monte Carlo Simulations
Abstract: Most organizations manage AI risk using colorful 5x5 "heatmaps." This is mathematically flawed and dangerous for high-stakes AI deployment. In this talk, we will ditch the gut-check methodology. I will demonstrate how to use convolution and Monte Carlo simulations to model the "tail risk" of AI hallucinations and regulatory fines. You will leave with a method to calculate the actual financial exposure of your models—no expensive GRC software required, just math and logic.

Session 2: The Governance/Security Talk

Title: The Transparency Trap: How to Audit AI Without Creating Vulnerabilities
Abstract: New standards like ISO/IEC 12792 demand AI transparency, but in the age of Adversarial Machine Learning, "oversharing" is a security vector. If you reveal your full architecture and training sources, you invite data poisoning and model inversion attacks. This session outlines a "Tiered Disclosure Architecture." We will discuss how to route specific data to auditors, regulators, and users differently, ensuring compliance with the EU AI Act without handing the keys to bad actors.

Session 3: The Business/Strategy Talk

Title: The Real Cost of Intelligence: A Risk-Adjusted Framework for AI ROI
Abstract: Companies are deploying Generative AI based on productivity hype, but they are ignoring the "OpEx Iceberg"—model drift, inference costs, and liability reserves. This talk presents a financial framework for calculating the true ROI of AI. We will cover how to factor in the "Risk Delta" (new risks vs. automated risks), calculate the Levelized Cost of AI (LCOAI), and determine when to build vs. buy based on process uniqueness. A session for leaders who need to justify the cloud bill to the CFO.
