Teddy Teece

Teddy Teece

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 V.

Nicolás Contreras V.

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. Electronic and industrial engineer from Universidad de los Andes. Builds from Bogotá, and builds robots with his kids on weekends.

Gracias por tomarte el tiempo para leer mi biografía, lo cual demuestra tu interés en el maravilloso mundo de las finanzas y la contabilidad de costes.

Permíteme una breve introducción: He trabajado como CFO y controller durante mucho tiempo, y soy apasionado de la técnica financiera y de costes. Disfruto analizando procesos, y esta pasión me ha llevado a impartir clases en distintas universidades, donde he aprendido tanto de mis alumnos como espero que ellos hayan aprendido algo de mí.

Una pregunta que a menudo me hacen es sobre los sectores en los que he trabajado. Para mí, el desafío no es en qué sectores he trabajado, sino cuántos me faltan por explorar y aprender.
Como apasionado de las finanzas, el control de gestión y los costes, actualmente me encuentro inmerso en el mundo de Dynamics, lo cual representa toda una aventura.

Si estás buscando una sesión que combine visión de negocio aplicada a Dynamics y que, en algún momento, desafíe tus habilidades con cálculos, no lo pienses más, no vengas a mi sesión, o sí.

Linda Grizely

Linda Grizely is a financial wellness speaker who partners with organizations to reduce the hidden cost of employees' personal financial stress — the cost that quietly shows up as lost focus, lower performance, and retention challenges.

Linda speaks to employees, ERGs, associations, HR leaders, and leadership teams across the country, in person and virtually.

Through her human-centered approach to money, Linda helps audiences bridge the gap between financial knowledge and real-life decision-making.

Her background spans holistic financial planning, leadership, business strategy, marketing, human resources, nonprofit consulting, association leadership, and sales.

In 2026, MeMoney® was named a finalist for a Money Awareness and Inclusion Award.

As seen in the Chicago Tribune, Yahoo Finance, MSN Money, WSJ Buy Side, and MarketWatch Picks.

Serban Mare

Serban Mare

What happens when your most committed people quietly burn out behind a mask of performance? Serban Mare has lived the answer, and now helps organizations catch it early and reverse it.
Serban is an Engineering Program Manager with 20+ years in the semiconductor and technology industry, still leading complex, high-pressure programs today while keynoting national conferences including PMI Global Summit and SHRM events. He burned out the quiet way: achieving everything on paper while running on empty. Then he rebuilt his energy, focus, and performance without leaving the pressure behind. That makes him a working proof of concept, not a recovered cautionary tale.
His sessions are direct, interactive, and science-backed, built for people who think in systems. Audiences leave with the three warning signs of burnout, a practical counter for each one, and tools they put to work the same week.
