Arfaoui Hania a SRE and Cloud Consultant at Deloitte, I work on building reliable, observable, and automated platforms across the cloud. I strongly believe in everything as code; infrastructure, pipelines, security, and even incident response workflows.
A production incident? A noisy alert? A dashboard that raises more questions than answers? I help teams understand what’s actually happening using logs, metrics, traces, and automation since i strongly believe platforms should not be black boxes, so incidents become a solvable puzzles rather than stressful mysteries
I’m a multi-cloud certified engineer (6 Azure certifications and 5 AWS certifications) and an active member of the cloud-native community.

Svenja Sass is a senior program leader for large-scale digital transformations in DAX companies, with a focus on complex ERP/CRM landscapes and AI-enabled platforms. She has led international hybrid teams of 70+ people across onshore, nearshore and offshore locations – often stepping into programs that are already in trouble and bringing them back on track.

🔧 Delivery & Architecture
Svenja specializes in integrating different delivery models within one program – for example, combining waterfall ERP projects with agile CRM implementations under a single testing and release strategy. She designs pragmatic SIT and UAT approaches across multiple vendors and systems and is known for turning chaotic testing phases into structured, end-to-end quality gates that actually work.

👥 Leadership & Culture
Her work sits at the intersection of delivery, leadership and culture. Drawing on her podcast conversations and project recovery experience, she talks openly about what really makes or breaks projects: clarity of roles, honest escalation, and the ability to communicate change instead of just “managing” it. She has developed practical tools such as a “project user manual” for roles and expectations, and a one-page leadership guide for critical project phases.

🎙️ Keynotes & Thought Leadership
On stage, Svenja is known for her candid, concrete style – no buzzword bingo, just real stories from the field. Her keynotes include:

“Too Busy to Improve” – what high-performing executives do differently in transformation.

“Waterfall + Agile, One Program, One Go-Live” – integrated testing in mixed delivery setups.

“From Firefighting to Ownership” – how to lead hybrid engineering teams that deliver.

“Agentic AI – Adapt or Lose” – why office jobs as we know them are going away and how to stay relevant.

🧭 Focus
Across all her work, Svenja’s core theme is simple: stop being too busy to improve. She helps organizations move from permanent firefighting to focused, value-driven delivery by aligning strategy, governance and engineering culture so digital projects don’t just look good on slides, but actually land in the real world.

I am a multilingual, intercultural leadership speaker who helps rooms of executives translate ambition into aligned action across borders through a values‑driven approach to transformation. Rooted in lived experience from Morocco to Germany, I connect with audiences across the USA, Europe, the Gulf, and Asia—bridging cultures with stories that land and practices that stick. On stage, I share the 4 Empires—Mindset, Heartset, Healthset, and Soulset—to unify performance, presence, energy, and purpose into one operating system leaders can use immediately. Conferences bring me in to spark inclusive conversations that turn difference into momentum, spotlighting the host’s commitment to representation, belonging, and leadership that resonates across languages and industries. Beyond the stage, my work funds on‑the‑ground charity initiatives in Morocco, and I actively position the host conference as a partner in inclusion and impact so attendees see the message—and the model—in action. If the goal is to inspire action and demonstrate real commitment to global inclusion, I deliver a keynote and community moments that help organizers amplify their message across international networks with credibility and heart.
