I started my journey in software development in 2002, inspired by Stephen Prat's book "C++ Primer Plus" when I was 13 years old. Today, as a Regional Fujitsu Distinguished Engineer, I lead IT projects from proof of concept through to delivery and maintenance phases. My experience spans various business sectors, including retail, legal, and defense, and encompasses frameworks such as .NET, Angular, React, and SQL, as well as platforms like Azure, AWS, and Kubernetes (K8s).

I am a Microsoft MVP and a Microsoft MCT. I mentor students from high school and up through an education program I created myself, with its products now thriving independently thanks to collaboration within our TechMentoringPL group. I strongly believe in the benefits of lifelong learning and sharing knowledge, aiming to make IT less intimidating for young adults, future tech leaders - this is the goal of the TechMentoringPL group. To keep my skills sharp, I am currently pursuing the Executive Education program at UC Berkeley Haas.

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.

Ich bin Mirko Peters und ich sehe Microsoft 365 nicht als Sammlung von Tools, sondern als Spiegel einer Organisation. Mich interessiert nicht primär die Technik, sondern wie Unternehmen denken, entscheiden und Verantwortung übernehmen. Denn digitale Plattformen zeigen sehr schnell, wo Strukturen klar sind – und wo nicht.

Ich verbinde technologische Kompetenz mit einem tiefen Verständnis für Unternehmensdynamiken. Statt über Features zu sprechen, spreche ich über Wirkung. Statt über Funktionen, über Führung. Für mich ist Microsoft 365 kein IT-Projekt, sondern eine strategische Managementplattform, auf der sich Effizienz, Transparenz und Zusammenarbeit neu definieren lassen.

In meiner Arbeit hinterfrage ich Informationsflüsse, Entscheidungswege und Verantwortlichkeiten. Ich analysiere, wo digitale Reibungsverluste entstehen und wie sich daraus klare Strukturen entwickeln lassen. Mein Anspruch ist es, Unternehmen dabei zu unterstützen, Technologie bewusst und zielgerichtet einzusetzen – nicht reaktiv, sondern strategisch.

Digitalisierung beginnt für mich im Denken. Technologie ist das Werkzeug. Struktur ist die Lösung.

Cat Karow is the Founder & CEO of ZoraSafe, a zero-trust cybersecurity platform built to protect the most targeted (and most overlooked) users online: seniors, kids, and everyday people navigating a world of AI-driven scams and digital manipulation. After two decades building complex, high-impact systems for others, Cat is now building something that hits close to home: real-time protection with human-first design.

Cat led product at Apple, ran U.S. ops for McLaren F1, and secured systems for the White House. She scaled HiPerGator, built enterprise tools for Fortune 100s, and now heads Tech Ops at GuidePoint Security. She's a founding member of Hack The Box and Women in HPC.

But despite the prestige, Cat’s proudest work isn’t behind firewalls, it’s in the living rooms of people who never had protection in the first place. ZoraSafe is her answer to the digital threat crisis: an AI-powered platform that doesn't just detect scams, but teaches users how to defend themselves in real time. Think scam detection meets Duolingo (with teeth).

A disabled, self-taught technologist who built her career without a degree, Cat blends elite experience with unshakable grit. She’s not just here to talk about security—she’s here to rewire how we think about it.
