Evan Kirstein works in financial-sector information security, running a day-to-day security program under federal examination: governance, risk and compliance, identity, data protection, and the AI-assessment work that now comes attached to all of it. They research passive RF systems alongside that. Their MARVIN project uses receive-only Wi-Fi and Bluetooth observation to study networked license-plate-reader infrastructure, with no probing, no association, and no credential capture by design.

Liz McMillan is a Strategic Alignment Advisor and Keynote Speaker who works with CEOs and executives to create alignment and expand what is possible for their teams and businesses.
Across 15 years in executive leadership in Australia and the US, Liz has evaluated, acquired, integrated, transformed and exited businesses. Her career spans public companies, private equity, founder-led businesses and high-growth scaleups, giving her an unusual perspective on what separates organisations that struggle to translate ambition into performance from those that create enduring value.
As CEO of Dictionary.com, Liz transformed a declining business stuck in the status quo, culminating in an exit at 2.5 times its prior valuation. As CEO of Teach Starter, she professionalised a founder-dependent business, taking it from unsellable to a successful exit. Earlier, as SVP of Corporate Development at IAC Publishing, Liz evaluated hundreds of acquisition opportunities and oversaw six acquisitions and integrations representing $500 million in deals.
But Liz’s experience has also taught her that the problems organisations experience as separate—strategy that stalls, decisions that drag, great people who disengage and conflict that consumes energy—are often connected by something deeper: misalignment.
Known for truth-telling with humility, Liz connects people dynamics with commercial outcomes, sees patterns others miss and asks the questions others avoid.
Today, through her advisory work and keynote The Truth About Performance, Liz challenges leaders to confront the mistruths limiting their organisations and explore what becomes possible when Truth creates Alignment.

I work with leaders, executives, managers and teams in organizations that want to thrive in the complex domains of the 21st century and I help them rethink their organizational dynamics, mindset, processes and practices to be more adaptive and effective in their business.

I’m especially interested in distributed leadership in knowledge-based organizations, a topic that touches on a number on subjects, including non-conventional organizational structures and individual and collective communication and social skills. And, I’m a long-standing Agile practitioner.

In over 20 years of professional experience, first in IT then in Agile in the broader sense, I worked with organizations in three different continents, as big the United Nations’ FAO and as small as dynamic post-startup companies. I have a wide range of expertise, in both the public and private sector, with both large and small organizations and with different cultures.

I'm based back in Italy but I've also worked for four years in the USA on a O-1 visa for "extraordinary abilities in Sciences”.
