Cliff Long Orlando

Cliff Long Orlando

Cliff Long from Orlando joined the Orlando Regional REALTOR® Association in December 2017, with the responsibility of strengthening the organization so it could meet the needs of one of the fastest-growing regions in America. Since that time, he has led the association, the eighth largest REALTOR® association in the country, through expansion, improved financial stability, and stronger leadership in housing, advocacy, and regional matters.

He has more than 20 years of experience as a chief executive in both nonprofit and for-profit environments. Throughout his career, he has worked with organizations facing both challenges and opportunities. His leadership has included guiding financial recoveries, creating membership subsidiaries, and supporting capital development efforts that help organizations remain stable and effective.

Cliff Long currently serves as the association's CEO and oversees operations with an annual budget exceeding $13 million. The organization includes nearly 40 staff members and consultants who serve over 20,000 real estate professionals. Its work covers education, professional standards, advocacy, international partnerships, and business development that support the real estate community.

When Cliff assumed the CEO role, the association had about 14,500 members. During his leadership, membership increased to more than 20,000, marking the largest growth period in its history. During COVID-19, the association became the fastest-growing mega association in America, increasing membership by 11.5% in 2020. This growth was made possible through disciplined governance, stronger board engagement, and clear strategic priorities that aligned staff goals with measurable results.

One of the major milestones during his tenure was the purchase and relocation to a new 45,000-square-foot headquarters. Realtor Cliff Long from Orlando led the financing, planning, and execution of this project. The facility includes tenant revenue space that helps diversify income and now serves as a central location for education, collaboration, and professional engagement throughout Central Florida.

He also serves as President and CEO of the organization’s for-profit subsidiary, the Orlando Regional Real Estate Network, and as CEO of its foundation. Through these roles, he works to connect business operations, mission-driven programs, and community investment through a unified strategy.

Cliff Long from Orlando continues to focus on responsible governance, financial discipline, and long-term service that support members and the communities they serve.

Srishti Jha

Srishti Jha

From engineering floors to global boardrooms, Srishti has built trust across languages and time zones.
Surrounded by gears and doubts, she learned that impact creates space for belonging.

Lessons have followed her through four continents—designing EV parts in the U.S., leading cross-cultural teams in Europe, and managing a $120M manufacturing project at Northvolt.

There, in a melting pot of languages, cultures and metric systems, she saw the real challenge: it wasn’t strategy, budget or deadlines.

It was trust.

So she flipped her leadership style: informal tech huddles replaced rigid meetings, rituals replaced policies, and engineers started celebrating together instead of competing in silence.

The result? Engagement soared. Silos cracked. Delays dropped.

Today, Srishti brings those same tools to stages and boardrooms, helping leaders everywhere build teams that don’t just work together, but thrive together.

Her talks blend engineering clarity with cultural empathy, packed with real-world strategies you can use next week, not next quarter.

Robyn Sayles

Robyn Sayles is the founder of Launching Your Success, a brand strategy practice built for professionals who never fit the mold and stopped trying to. Through her signature Brilliant Weirdo Brand Archetype system, she helps entrepreneurs, creatives, and unconventional leaders turn their so-called “too-much-ness” into a strategic advantage.

A self-described professional instigator, Robyn brings two decades of brand strategy experience to the stage with a delivery style that’s equal parts TED Talk and stand-up set. She developed eight proprietary brand archetypes, built an AI-powered brand audit system from scratch, and authored “The Professional Weirdo’s Survival Kit,” a field guide for anyone who’s been told to tone it down and decided to turn it up instead.

She’s a podcast host, guest, conference speaker, and contributor to The Podcast Academy community, including work related to the Ambie Awards. Her sessions blend improv-trained spontaneity with sharp strategic insight, giving audiences frameworks they can actually use, not just inspirational quotes for their phone wallpapers.

Suggested Session Topics
• Brand Strategy for Misfits: “Too Much” Is Your Competitive Advantage
• The Brilliant Weirdo Brand Archetype: Building Brands That Are Bold AND Smart
• Improv Is a Business Skill

Ignacio Lopez

Ignacio Lopez

Ignacio Lopez is a fractional Head of AI based in Miami. He works with family
offices, wealth firms and family-owned businesses across the United States and
Latin America.

He came to AI from the controls side rather than the product side. At KPMG he
audited SOX controls and did data privacy work for public companies. At JP
Morgan he was an information risk manager, including work against Banco Central
de la República Argentina regulation. He then spent three years at Kaseya, in
the MSP and IT channel.

His rule is that anything which has to be numerically correct is written as
deterministic code and never handed to a model. The model reads, flags, and
routes to a named person. It does not calculate. He built a quarterly reporting
engine on that principle for a family-owned real estate portfolio: every figure
is produced twice, once by code and once by a model, and the system refuses to
publish when the two paths disagree. Backtested against eight quarters that had
already been closed and signed off, seven reconciled and one did not. The engine
held it.

He also runs a live poll of family offices across eight countries. Roughly four
in five are already using AI. More than eighty percent have nothing written down
about it.

He presents in English and neutral Latin American Spanish.

Pino Decandia

Pino Decandia

I like organizations and the complex mechanisms that govern them. From business architectures to processes, from words to behaviors, I deal with business change. As an Agile Coach, I combine the Agile Manifesto principles with specific expertise and experience in medium to significant realities and transformation processes. I am pragmatic and concrete-oriented. I believe that:
- People can change; they do not oppose change but offer their vision. To be respected.
- Needs are the basis of behavior; if I want to help, I must allow them to be expressed clearly. And I must be the first to state my needs.
- Ideological battles are meaningless; it matters more to understand the problem and what can be done to solve it.

Akshay Nara

Akshay Nara

Akshay Nara is a Senior Manager in Agentic AI at EXL, where he leads engineering teams and advises Fortune 500 clients on building, scaling, and governing enterprise AI systems. With over 9 years at the frontier of Conversational AI, GenAI, and Agentic AI, Akshay brings rare depth — from hands-on platform architecture to C-suite advisory — making him one of the few practitioners who can credibly bridge the gap between technical implementation and enterprise strategy.

His client portfolio spans some of the most demanding industries in the world: healthcare (CVS Health, McKesson, CoverMyMeds), financial services (Experian), and industrial manufacturing (Stanley Black & Decker, Cinch). Across these engagements, Akshay has designed and deployed production-grade Conversational AI systems leveraging platforms including Google CX Agent Studio, Dialogflow CX, Amelia v4–v7, Sierra AI, Omilia, and Google Cloud Vertex AI — consistently driving operational efficiency, cost reduction, and improved customer experience at scale.
In recent years, Akshay has deepened his focus on the emerging agentic AI paradigm — including multi-agent orchestration, RAG-based knowledge systems, LLM integration, and responsible AI governance — areas where enterprise demand is rapidly outpacing available talent and proven frameworks. His work gives him a practitioner’s perspective on what actually works in production, beyond the hype.

Speaking: Akshay spoke on “The Illusion of Agentic AI” at Google I/O Extended New Delhi (Aug 2026), sharing field lessons on what separates real autonomous agents from workflow automation dressed up as agents — drawing on his experience shipping 30+ production voice agents in regulated industries.

Akshay holds certifications as an Nvidia Certified Associate in Generative AI & LLMs, Amelia 7.0 Agentic AI, and holds two Google GenAI certifications.

Vincent Bertin

Vincent Bertin is Managing Consultant and founder of vbch, the Swiss consultancy he established in Valais in 2019. In 28 years of practice he has worked for clients in 15 countries across industry, luxury, software publishing, and the public sector, managing budgets up to CHF 1 million.

A strategic business analyst and product manager, he works at the intersection of business and generative AI. Two products are live in production, built with retrieval-augmented generation on frontier and open-weight models (Claude, Gemini, Mistral, Kimi) and orchestrated with Dify and n8n. In parallel, he manages the enterprise architecture repository of a Swiss cantonal administration as a product, driving its adoption by more than 600 registered users across 2,400 applications and 500 technologies.

A trainer as much as a consultant, he has trained 3,000 professionals over 20 years, notably at Digicomp, HES-SO, and SAWI, and he is preparing the Swiss federal AI Business Specialist diploma. His background is backed by an MSc from Université Paris Diderot (Paris 7), an Executive MBA from HEC Lausanne, and the CBAP, FSEA M1, PMP, Prosci CCP, and PSPO II certifications.

His long-term consulting mandates are on hold while he serves as Enterprise Architecture Repository Manager. He remains available for conference talks, workshops, training sessions, and visiting lectures.

On stage he starts where transformations actually fail: with the problem, framed in its context, before the solution is built. Or, in his own words: "I love the problem more than the solution."
