Angel Ceballos is the Founder and CEO of SeraphicGuardian and an architect of defensible systems.

Her work focuses on how complex data and decision systems are designed, governed, and held accountable in real-world environments. Rather than treating governance as documentation or policy layered on top of technology, she builds it directly into system architecture.

With a foundation in data engineering and enterprise architecture, Angel designs and implements accountable infrastructure that governs risk, fairness, and long-term resilience. She challenges organizations to move beyond performance metrics and build systems that withstand scrutiny, degrade safely under stress, and produce defensible evidence by design.

Her mission is to ensure accountability and safety are not policy add-ons but engineered foundations that preserve long-term enterprise and investment value.

With over 20 years of experience in corporate roles and consulting, I help companies move away from a "tactical obsession" toward an evidence-based strategy rooted in marketing science.

By diagnosing structural breaks and aligning marketing with sales, Bernard enables marketing functions to operate smoothly, thereby improving revenue operations and boosting growth.

My talk focuses on applying the foundational, timeless elements of good marketing to drive business growth. It pains me that marketing is often a black hole, and that proposed solutions miss the mark by not returning to basics and by failing to win new customers.

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.

My career is made up of stories of encounters where I have guided clients and teams to achieve their goals.

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.
