Katharina Covadonga Clören

Katharina Covadonga Clören

Hi there, my name is Katharina Covadonga Clören.
I discovered my passion for data analysis and reporting during my studies – quite unexpectedly, in a student job. That’s when I realized how much I enjoy analyzing complex patterns and bringing them to life through creative visuals. For me, data visualization is the perfect blend of analytical detective and creative artist: I love uncovering hidden insights and presenting them in a way that’s clear, engaging, and impactful.

For the past two years, I’ve been working as a consultant with a focus on Data Analytics and Data Storytelling. What fascinates me most is the incredible potential and variety that lies in good visualizations. Before starting my consulting career, I spent a year traveling around the world – driven by curiosity, a love for adventure, and an open mind for people, cultures, and new perspectives. That same openness shapes the way I work today: Data is everywhere, and it always tells a story – you just have to listen (and look) closely.

When I’m not building reports or analyzing data, you’ll find me moving (like yoga, bouldering or lifting heavy stuff), enjoying food from around the world, or exploring the planet.

Rob Carpenter

Rob Carpenter

I advise executives on how AI and autonomous agents will reshape organizations over the next five years—and what leaders must do now to stay ahead. My work focuses less on today’s tools and more on the trajectory: how agents evolve from copilots into operators, how decision latency collapses, how cost structures rebalance, and where new risks emerge as autonomy increases.

As a speaker with Summit AI Consulting, I help leadership teams develop a clear mental model of where AI is going, how quickly it’s arriving, and which organizational bets matter most. My talks connect AI’s technical direction to board-level implications: operating leverage, governance, security, workforce design, and competitive moats in an agent-driven economy.

I translate complex AI shifts into concrete executive decisions—what to centralize vs. decentralize, what to automate vs. retain, and how to prepare teams, controls, and incentives for a world where software increasingly acts on behalf of the business. Attendees leave with clarity, strategic confidence, and a roadmap for preparing—not reacting—to what’s next.
