Here I am; I host; I speak; and I talk on panel discussions... Unimaginable 10 years ago. Reality now. Still unbelievable. Still loving my job and everything it comes with it.

HR professional and practitioner with a strong IT background and nerdy mind. After years in positions as Head of People & Culture or HR, I decided to switch my focus, roll up my sleeves again and get my hands dirty.

Now I am helping companies, teams and individuals in the fast-growing and highly dynamic IT environment with their needs related to development, growth, internal processes, people-relatad data interpretation and communication. My academic roots in anthropology and other humanities were an immense advantage in my transition to the IT industry, where I deeply anchored myself. I cannot imagine my life without being surrounded by those clever, smart individuals with their willingness and drive to grow and learn more.

My overall philosophy is quite holistic and that reflects even in my approach towards all of the People related topics – viewing the whole area not just as "human resources" but as "human relations," emphasis on the value of interpersonal connections. Thanks to my analytical and entrepreneurial nature I strive for a balance between the people-centric and data-informed decision making. And always making sure the decisions are being made hand in hand with the business needs of the organisation.

Stefan Priebsch

Stefan Priebsch

Stefan Priebsch is a Software Success Consultant, university lecturer, and keynote speaker who helps leaders turn software complexity into strategic clarity.

For more than 30 years, he has worked with companies of all sizes to show how software can become a predictable source of business value, and why that so often does not happen by accident. In his work, he repeatedly sees the same pattern: software initiatives rarely fail because of technology alone, but because strategic clarity is missing and architecture decisions are left implicit.

Stefan brings together deep technical experience, entrepreneurial thinking, and a clear, human way of communicating. His talks help business and technology leaders understand how architecture shapes business outcomes, why complexity becomes expensive when decisions are unclear, and what it takes to turn software into a strategic asset rather than a growing cost risk.

Audiences appreciate his clarity, his relevance, and his ability to make complex topics accessible without oversimplifying them.

Ivan Font Miñarro

Ivan Font Miñarro

I had an unusual start at university — my first year was in Medicine. Soon I discovered my path was elsewhere, and I pivoted into Industrial Engineering at Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya (UPC) in Barcelona. That early change shaped how I approach challenges today: with curiosity, adaptability, and a strong analytical mindset.

After graduating, I stepped straight into the world of ERP, working with Microsoft Dynamics AX (2009, 2012) and evolving alongside the ecosystem into what is now Dynamics 365. From the beginning, I was fortunate to go beyond pure ERP implementation — combining functional and technical work with Business Intelligence, systems architecture, and later, data and AI-driven solutions.

Today, I lead the technical department at a Microsoft partner consultancy, where I’m responsible for architecture, development standards, and innovation across projects involving Microsoft Dynamics 365 Finance and Operations, Power Platform, Azure, and AI. My role sits at the intersection of technology, people, and strategy: designing scalable solutions while helping teams grow technically and professionally.

One of the most meaningful parts of my job is mentoring. I was lucky to have people who invested in my growth early in my career, and now I strive to do the same for others. Watching a colleague take their first independent “step” — solving a problem, leading a feature, making a design decision — is one of the most rewarding moments in my day-to-day work.

Beyond delivery, I’m passionate about sharing knowledge through talks, technical content, and community initiatives, especially around applied AI in business applications. I strongly believe that technology creates real impact only when it empowers people — both users and the professionals building the solutions.
