Michele Brissoni

Michele Brissoni

In February 2020, at IBM Studios in Milan, Mike Brissoni opened Agile Venture Milano beside Cesare Baroni, Vice President IT Delivery in IBM's CIO organization. Between them they were describing engineering practice across 170 countries and 360,000 employees, and the question underneath that talk is the one he still works on: what actually makes a large engineering organization move.

He has come at it from two sides for most of his life. On the tatami, 45+ years of practice and 35+ years teaching, six black belts, and the unhurried business of turning a beginner into someone others can learn from. In software, 25+ years of test-driven development, 20+ years of research and development behind the Software Craftsmanship Dojo®, and 15+ years applying it inside teams who had to change while they kept shipping.

The standard he measures against comes from a pit lane. Ferrari in the Schumacher years, where a group of people under absurd time pressure made precision look like an ordinary Sunday, is still the picture in his head when he watches a delivery team at work.

His current work sits where AI meets that same question.

He co-created nWave, an open-source engineering framework released under MIT in February 2026 and now carried by contributors well beyond the two people who started it; Dave Farley opened his AI Briefings series with it in April 2026.

Through The Forge of Unicorns, his research program, he has interviewed 130+ people, analyzed 52 unicorns and studied 100+ investment portfolios, tracing why capital and engineering talent so rarely arrive in the same place.

He advises engineering leadership as a fractional CTO/CAIO.

Selected speaking: opening keynote, Agile Venture Milano at IBM Studios, Milan, 2020; peer-reviewed experience report, XP 2024, Agile Alliance, Bozen-Bolzano; lightning talk, IT Revolution Enterprise Technology Leadership Summit Europe, hosted by Gene Kim, 2024; Italian Agile Days, Milan 2023 and Florence 2024; Agile Venture Vimercate, 2019; Software Crafts Romandie, Lausanne, 2026; AI Agents Montreal, 2026.

Recommended as a speaker by Gergely Orosz in The Pragmatic Engineer.

He is Italian, born in the Dolomites, based in Slovakia, and works with distributed teams worldwide.

Mario Noioso

Mario Noioso

Mario Noioso is a Rome-based technology author, solutions architect and inventor. He is an Advisory Solutions Architect at MongoDB, working with public sector and regulated organizations across EMEA on data and AI architecture.

His work focuses on how data and AI systems behave in real production environments, where complexity, governance, legacy, scale and operational constraints shape outcomes more than theory ever does. He has helped teams design data foundations that stay coherent as systems scale, organizations grow and automation becomes pervasive, including national-scale digital public services.

His career spans more than 30 years across IBM, Microsoft and ServiceNow. He began in IBM's development labs, working on mainframe and C/C++ systems, and holds US patents from that period, including one on deploying applications across distributed nodes and one on real-time analysis of live musical performances, which in hindsight reads like an early specification of an agentic AI loop.

He is the author of Who Owns Memory Owns the Future: Power, Knowledge, and Imagination from Fire to Mars, a history of how humanity has stored, controlled and transmitted memory, from oral tradition to databases and AI. He writes on data, AI and technology culture at marionoioso.com and in Towards Data Science, and edits Real-World Architectures, a series of free field guides on production data architectures.

He speaks regularly at industry and academic events, including AWS Public Sector Day, MongoDB.local and the Sapienza University of Rome engineering festival, on AI agent memory, data sovereignty, public sector modernization and the long arc from early computing to agentic systems.

Andrea Elliott

Andrea Elliott

Andrea Elliott is the CEO, Founder, and Managing Partner of EMG Advisory, the AI-native governance, risk and strategy practice serving regulated, high-stakes industries including Quantum Computing and Financial Services. She most recently served as Chief Compliance and Ethics Officer at a publicly traded global payments technology company, where she led a global risk and compliance transformation, built the company's AI governance framework, and led the outstanding CFPB & State AG Consent Orders to full regulatory compliance, with zero reportable incidents during her tenure. She also designed and led the GRC technology transformation to drive internal risk intelligence, transparency, and enterprise accountability, providing an end-to-end, 360 perspective on risk throughout the enterprise. With 15-plus years across risk, compliance, governance, ethics, and legal, Andrea brings a foresight practitioner's perspective to AI governance failures and mitigation. She is the author of (1) The Deadline on Implicit Governance, (2) The Proportionality Problem, (3) The Architecture of Intuition, (4) The Quiet Rewiring, (5) Bounded Autonomy, (6) The Compounding Bet, and (7) The Missing Middle. She holds a JD from Emory Law [Bankruptcy Journal & Transactional Certificate], an MBA from UGA [Finance focus with an emphasis in Consulting], and the AIGP credential from IAPP. Her undergraduate studies at Auburn University included Architecture, Industrial Design, and Business Administration.

From Andrea: "AI is rewriting what industries can do, and the leaders who govern it with seriousness and imagination will reshape theirs rather than scramble to catch up. I help those leaders imagine beyond what AI makes possible today, then usher them through the transformation for the betterment of the people their industries serve.

It starts with something deceptively simple: helping organizations make sound AI decisions they can stand behind, quickly and confidently. Done right, that discipline is not a brake on ambition. It is what lets a company reimagine what is possible with AI.

My work sits at the intersection of law, risk, ethics, strategy, and systems design. After 15+ years in risk and compliance roles, most recently as Chief Compliance Officer where I built the company's AI governance framework from the ground up, I founded EMG Advisory on a conviction: AI does not need more hype. It needs structure, accountability, and leaders who treat risk as a strategic discipline.

That is the part most people miss. Governance, Risk, and Compliance, done well, is not what slows AI down. It decides where you can afford to move fast and where you cannot, and it is inseparable from strategy; your AI strategy does not survive without it.

The other half of how I work is AI-native wiring. I think in systems, synthesize fast, and collaborate with AI at the conceptual layer as a cognitive partner, translating complexity into strategic clarity. It is also how EMG itself is built: I practice the responsible, operationalized AI I help my clients deploy.

I work with organizations that want to use AI strategically, responsibly, and with foresight. I help leaders:

Turn AI risk and compliance into strategic advantage
Make defensible AI decisions at the speed of business
Translate regulatory ambiguity into operational clarity
Anticipate second- and third-order effects before they surface
Design governance that works in practice, not just on paper

The regulatory landscape shifts faster than most AI roadmaps, and the patchwork of overlapping laws and standards leaves even willing organizations unsure what they must comply with. Pair that with AI that stalls in committee and governance impeccable on paper that no one operates by, and the gap becomes clear. Closing it is where I do my best work.

But closing the gap is the floor, not the ceiling. The organizations that govern AI with seriousness and imagination will not just keep up; they will transform what their industries can do for the people who depend on them. That is the future I am building toward."

I lead simplification and performance initiatives across the entire API surface — access governance, journey redesigns, tech debt reduction — guided by a simple principle: a platform is only worth it if it removes friction rather than adding to it. At Ippon, I also manage a team of about 7 consultants.
