Lianna Adams is a Human-Centered AI Strategist, Digital Dignity Advocate, and Cognitive Culture Builder recognised by ForbesWeb3, Animoca Brands, and Open Campus as a 2024 Social Impact & Ethics leader — and named one of the Top 10 Rising Women in Crypto 2023.

She has spoken at the WEF in Davos 2024, COP28, TEDx Youth, NFTNYC (four consecutive years), the World Web3.0 & AI Summit, EmpowHer AI, and Web3 Amsterdam, among others.

She is the creator of the Human-AI Cognitive Toolkit — nine science-backed tools for cognitive wellness in an AI-saturated world — and host of The Human Strata, a podcast and newsletter exploring the human layer in the age of AI. She hosts the Wirex Podcast and has convened 80,000+ community participants across digital events since 2021.

Teddy Teece is the Managing Partner of KEA Capital Partners, an investment firm that links international capital with New Zealand’s light industrial sector. He is an entrepreneur, investor, and philanthropist whose work spans finance, technology, executive coaching, and real estate. Across these fields, he has focused on connecting purpose, profit, and planet while addressing overlooked market inefficiencies and practical business challenges.

Teddy's relationship with New Zealand comes through five generations of family ties, and his dual-hemisphere, bi-coastal early life helped shape his global outlook. This background informs his current work with long-term and lifestyle-oriented investors who seek financial returns while building deeper connections to New Zealand and contributing to its economy, environment, and infrastructure.

As Founder and Managing Partner of KEA Capital Partners, Teddy leads acquisition strategies across New Zealand’s “golden triangle,” with attention on light industrial sectors. The firm focuses on acquiring, growing, and consolidating established businesses that support the country’s infrastructure. Through KEA Capital Partners, he is raising funds from investors seeking residency in New Zealand while making a meaningful contribution to its economy.

Teddy developed KEA Capital Partners’s business plan and thesis during his first year in Wharton’s Executive MBA program. This involved building advisory relationships, stress-testing the plan, and shaping a timely opportunity. KEA Capital Partners now offers a geopolitical insurance product for investors concerned about macroeconomic uncertainty and interested in New Zealand as a safe and stable place to live and invest. His model combines private equity, search fund methods, local partnerships, community events, and philanthropic opportunities.

Before founding KEA Capital Partners, Teddy served as Co-Founder and Chief Operating Officer of an investment bank that processed eight and nine-figure transactions. He also co-founded a marketplace for unique experiences through an incubator and created partnerships with major providers. In consulting, he co-founded a leadership and family business advisory service that supports business families, executives, and next-generation leaders across the United States, the Middle East, and New Zealand.

Teddy has also developed a nonprofit and executive retreat destination near Boulder, Colorado, improving a forty-acre property for connection, reflection, wellness, and community. Since 2017, he has supported Navy SEAL families through a foundation and helped raise six- and seven-figure sums for charities.

Teddy graduated from Yale University with a Bachelor of Arts in American Studies, earned recognition for the university’s best senior essay, competed as an NCAA Division I lightweight rower, and played rugby.

Today, Teddy Teece works with a New Zealand-based team, supports charitable organizations, writes, drums, works the land, and seeks adventure. He remains focused on service, stewardship, and partnerships that support lasting organizations and communities.

Nicolás Contreras is the AI Director of PappCorn, a Colombian startup studio that builds ventures from the inside, alongside their founders. He leads the studio's AI-native practice, where every partner's repo gets an agent squad on day one — an orchestrator, a typed fleet of specialists, and a skills library, versioned inside the partner's own codebase — so the first thing a startup buys is the factory, not the feature. He productized the pre-code stage the same way: a discovery-to-unit-economics pipeline that runs as chained slash commands and has the authority to STOP a bad idea before anyone writes code. Delivery runs as an agent product team that hands feasibility to the machines and keeps value and viability with the humans. He is also CTO of Vaki, Colombia's largest crowdfunding platform, where he built vAIkilorians: ten production AI agents that let four people — one of them an engineer — run support, code, data and operations across three countries from a single Mac Studio.
