Nick Finch is CTO and co-founder of inmydata, where he leads the development of AI-first infrastructure for enterprise.

inmydata is built on a simple observation. Most of what an organisation knows lives in people's heads rather than its systems, and the data that does sit in systems is locked inside ERPs and legacy platforms that AI cannot easily reach. The company addresses both problems through two pillars. A Data Platform that gives AI real-time semantic access to operational data, and a Knowledge AI layer centred on an Expert Interview System that autonomously captures tacit knowledge from subject matter experts, served through an Agentic RAG architecture combining vector search, lexical search, and structured retrieval under agent control.

Nick brings around 20 years in data analytics and four years working hands-on with LLMs to that mission, having built production agentic systems across commodity trading, enterprise database administration, and operational analytics, integrating ERP data, financial markets, and external data sources at scale.

inmydata is AI-first in how it builds as well as what it builds. The team has developed a leading agentic engineering practice, where AI agents do most of the work under human supervision, and writes openly about how to do it well at inmydata.ai/blog. Nick speaks regularly at industry conferences and publishes on agentic architecture and engineering discipline, arguing that agentic AI compresses the SaaS UI layer to near-zero, while making the underlying business logic, data, and engineering practices that produce them more valuable when properly packaged for AI consumption.

Philippe possède une expérience solide de plus de 10 ans en tant que Coach Agile d’Entreprise et de plus 20 ans en tant que Développeur et Team Leader Agile principalement en salles de marchés. Il a contribué à plusieurs programmes d'agilité à l'échelle. Il sait comment catalyser une véritable agilité grâce à son expérience.

En effet l'agilité souffre actuellement d'un trop grand investissement dans les structures organisationnelles et les pratiques associées. Un rééquilibrage est possible si nous redonnons du pouvoir à l'humain, à notre capacité à ressentir et à surtout créer du sens, et à nous relier en tant que systèmes humains afin de favoriser la collaboration et de faire émerger des solutions innovantes et adaptatives.

Pour cela, Philippe s'est formé au coaching systémique ORSC™ en 2023 (Coaching Systémique pour les Organisations et les Relations). Il a expérimenté cette approche lors de ses missions et plus particulièrement lorsqu'il a travaillé avec des managers et leurs équipes en tant que facilitateur d'équipes. Il est certifié ORSC depuis juillet 2025 après avoir été mentoré et supervisé pendant un an sur ses compétences et ses interventions en tant que coach systémique. Pour compléter son expérience du métier de coach, il s'est formé également à Co-Active (coaching individuel) qu'il pratique régulièrement.

Il s'est également formé pendant des années à l'accompagner d'équipes agiles à tous les niveaux d’une organisation et à faire évoluer leur leadership (individuel et collectif). Il a démontré son approche aussi bien avec des équipes Produit dans le Digital que managériales. En faisant grandir le leadership à différents niveaux d’une organisation, ses clients bénéficient de structures plus performantes alignées avec la culture et la stratégie de l’entreprise.

Philippe est également traducteur du livre d'une des co-fondatrices d'ORSC : "Systems Inspired Leadership" / "Leadership inspiré par les systèmes".

Most founders are stuck building a job for themselves, not a company. Chris Wiser builds systems that buy back time, drive relentless revenue, and leverage the next frontier of technology: the AI-First Economy.

As a 2x Inc. 5000 entrepreneur, Chris specializes in transforming stagnant companies into high-margin, scalable engines. His philosophy is simple: think bigger, execute faster, and automate the mundane. After hearing Chris speak, audiences walk away with practical frameworks they can immediately apply to scale revenue, remove themselves as the bottleneck, and build infrastructure that actually supports growth.

Chris brings over 30 years of experience in the technology industry and has scaled and sold his own MSP. In the last three years alone, he has driven 2,416% revenue growth in a tumultuous industry, earning multiple top-tier recognitions, including multiple 2CCX awards and two appearances on the Inc. 5000 list, including a top-ranking finish. His impact extends beyond business, with a scholarship established in his honor at his alma mater.

Chris’s work today centers on execution, not hype:
1. AI Profit Systems – Through AI Profit Machine, Chris helps business leaders move past the noise and build real AI infrastructure. His “Business-in-a-Box” model and embedded dev teams allow founders to launch high-ticket AI advisory services and turn AI into a true profit center.

2. Scale & Sales Psychology – As the Founder of 7 Figure MSP™, Chris has coached over 1,500 MSP owners, rebuilding their B2B sales processes for the modern era and helping them stop playing small.

3. Thought Leadership – Chris is a 10x best-selling author, with every book reaching the #1 spot on Amazon, including Making Your First $1 Million with AI and upcoming work focused on digital safety and the next generation of technology leaders.

Chris’s insights and commentary have been featured on:
- The Entrepreneurs Radio Show
- School for Startups Radio
- SmallBizAmerica Radio
- National television including ABC, FOX, CNBC, and NBC

He is known for being polarizing - and he wears it as a badge of honor. Chris challenges founders to become true leaders, not just high-level “doers.” He believes industries are disrupted by execution, not consensus, and that real growth requires confronting uncomfortable truths.

Whether speaking on stage, leading high-level coaching ecosystems, or hosting private experiences like the AI Profit Machine House at SXSW, Chris’s mission remains singular: create millionaires and change lives through ruthless execution.

When he isn’t supporting his favorite racing teams, rooting for the Green Bay Packers, or speaking on stage, Chris lives in Austin, Texas, where he enjoys spending time with friends and family.

If you’re looking for fluff, Chris is not your speaker.
If you’re ready to scale, dominate your market, and lead with AI - he is.
