Jarle Adolfsen

Jarle Adolfsen

Jarle Adolfsen is a partner and senior consultant at bspoke AS with more than 27 years of experience as a developer, architect, CTO, and tech lead. He has led large-scale API and microservice platforms, real-time systems, and performance-critical enterprise solutions using .NET and Azure.

He is also a serial entrepreneur and co-founded Link Mobility, which has grown into a multi-billion NOK international company. Jarle has built engineering teams across multiple countries and worked in South Africa, where he helped design and develop a mobile platform for Glocell.

His fascination with systems started in the 1990s as part of the Norwegian demoscene, programming 3D routines in 68000 assembler alongside fellow technologists such as Ander Norås.

Alongside enterprise architecture, Jarle builds complex systems from scratch — including a custom 3D engine powering the retro-inspired game The Omega Strain. He believes the best way to understand software is to build the hard parts yourself.

Jay Manley

Jay Manley

When he’s not helping finance teams untangle their payments messes, Jay is usually strapped into something loud, fast, or airborne—sometimes all three in the same week.

In the office, he’s a visionary and a natural leader for Accounts Payable teams: the kind of operator who doesn’t just “optimize a process,” but rethinks how AP should work end-to-end—simplifying the chaos, modernizing the tech stack, and rallying teams around a clear path from manual grind to automated control.

He’s also a multi-rated pilot (powered, glider, and unmanned—rotor and fixed-wing) who puts those skills to work with the Civil Air Patrol on search-and-rescue missions, logging real cockpit time when it actually counts.

Back on the ground, he’s a lifelong motorsports addict: a season points champion who’s finished 3rd out of 330 cars in divisional competition—and then decided that wasn’t chaotic enough, so he went all-in on the art (and smoke) of drift driving.

And when things “slow down,” it’s only by Jay’s standards: playing guitar in a band, disappearing off-grid in the mountains, or sending a snowmobile through deep powder like it personally offended him. If it runs on fuel, flies, or makes your heart rate question your life choices, there’s a decent chance Jay’s either done it… or is already planning the next stunt.

Amanda Lentz

Amanda Lentz is a keynote speaker, podcast host, and Human Resources Business Partner whose work lives at the intersection of lived experience and organizational psychology.
When she was diagnosed with breast cancer at 34 — mid-career, mid-build, and firmly between the young adult oncology world and the general cancer landscape — she survived. What came next was harder to name: the identity shift, the disorientation, the rebuilding of a self that no longer fit its previous shape. No program existed for that conversation. So she built one.
She is the creator and host of Who We Become — Life Beyond Change, a podcast gathering honest stories of reinvention after disruption. Her graduate work spans I/O Psychology, Leadership Development, and Business Administration, and she brings that framework to every stage she stands on.
Amanda speaks to healthcare conferences, women's leadership events, survivorship organizations, and corporate teams navigating transformation. Her signature talks — The In-Between, Navigating the After, Both at Once, and The Body You Didn't Choose — give audiences language for the experience they've been living but couldn't name.
