Annie Margarita Yang is the definitive voice in Millennial finance, specializing in strategies for beating today’s tough economic challenges. She is the author of an award-winning, best-selling new book, The 5-Day Job Search, which helps young professionals get out of student loan debt while finding the ideal job.

With more than 1 million views on YouTube, her witty approach to tough talk sets her apart from others.

Annie’s journey began with a powerful motivation: to prove her high school guidance counselor wrong. Her guidance counselor drilled into her that she would be a failure for the rest of her life if she didn’t go straight to college and borrow $40,000 to get the degree. Annie refused to believe it. She secured three accounting jobs in a row in only 5 days, without the formal accounting degree.

And now Annie shares her methods with others so that they can do the same. Her candid style cuts through the noise, delivering foolproof advice for real-world challenges. Far from generic tips, her tips focus on practical steps to quickly improve finances, especially for challenges unique to Millennials.

Based in Boston with her husband, Annie complements her professional life with a love for piano, adding another layer to her multifaceted persona.

Svenja Sass

Svenja Sass

Svenja Sass is a senior program leader for large-scale digital transformations in DAX companies, with a focus on complex ERP/CRM landscapes and AI-enabled platforms. She has led international hybrid teams of 70+ people across onshore, nearshore and offshore locations – often stepping into programs that are already in trouble and bringing them back on track.

🔧 Delivery & Architecture
Svenja specializes in integrating different delivery models within one program – for example, combining waterfall ERP projects with agile CRM implementations under a single testing and release strategy. She designs pragmatic SIT and UAT approaches across multiple vendors and systems and is known for turning chaotic testing phases into structured, end-to-end quality gates that actually work.

👥 Leadership & Culture
Her work sits at the intersection of delivery, leadership and culture. Drawing on her podcast conversations and project recovery experience, she talks openly about what really makes or breaks projects: clarity of roles, honest escalation, and the ability to communicate change instead of just “managing” it. She has developed practical tools such as a “project user manual” for roles and expectations, and a one-page leadership guide for critical project phases.

🎙️ Keynotes & Thought Leadership
On stage, Svenja is known for her candid, concrete style – no buzzword bingo, just real stories from the field. Her keynotes include:

“Too Busy to Improve” – what high-performing executives do differently in transformation.

“Waterfall + Agile, One Program, One Go-Live” – integrated testing in mixed delivery setups.

“From Firefighting to Ownership” – how to lead hybrid engineering teams that deliver.

“Agentic AI – Adapt or Lose” – why office jobs as we know them are going away and how to stay relevant.

🧭 Focus
Across all her work, Svenja’s core theme is simple: stop being too busy to improve. She helps organizations move from permanent firefighting to focused, value-driven delivery by aligning strategy, governance and engineering culture so digital projects don’t just look good on slides, but actually land in the real world.

suppliers, ran new product development to ensure the ultimate safety and program performance
in one of the most demanding technical environments on earth.
In parallel with her technical and leadership work, Nikki has been a lifelong advocate for mental
health and emotional well-being in STEM. She has conducted research and facilitated programs
on emotional intelligence, resilience, and workplace culture, translating insights from psychology
and behavioral science into actionable tools for engineers and technical leaders. She has also
founded and led mentorship programs, women’s networks, and engineering education outreach
initiatives, ensuring that the next generation of engineers—especially women in STEM—enter
the field with both the technical expertise and human skills to thrive.
Nikki speaks and writes on topics ranging from courageous leadership and emotional
intelligence in technical fields to building mentorship cultures and leading with authenticity in
male-dominated industries. Her story challenges traditional notions of leadership—and reminds
us that empathy is not a soft skill; it is a core skill for the future of work.
