His talks are data studies from real accounts rather than frameworks: a $383K country-by-country audit of Meta's tROAS algorithm, a $606K test of what actually predicts day-28 ROAS, and the reconciliation logic for when Meta, the MMP, and the subscription platform disagree.

Emmi Kavander

Emmi Kavander

After surviving a near-fatal traffic accident in 2017 that doctors had little hope of me surviving, I embarked on a tough journey to understand my purpose to survive. During months of rehabilitation for re-learning to walk, I wondered about my fullest potential.

For 15 years, I had climbed a steep corporate ladder and reached every goal I ever envisioned, especially the ones others said impossible, including a seat in the senior leadership of a stock-listed FinTech before turning 30.

Combined with a decade of intense psychology studies, I realised that instead of using my combined wealth of knowledge for my own success as I had until then, I could help others reach their wildest dreams. This was the responsibility I felt arising from surviving the accident.

Now, as a globally active executive coach and entrepreneur, I bring my solid experience and expertise from years of strategy and psychology, as well as coaching top business leaders, to the table.

My true passion lies in empowering others to reach their aspirations - my speciality is the impossible ones.

Originating from Finland and based in Switzerland, I have an MBA from the University of London and am also an alumna of IMD Business School. In addition, I have studied psychology and NLP (certified Master Practitioner) to deepen my understanding of human psychology.

Solution Architect specialized in Microsoft Power Platform, I’ve had the opportunity to experience this journey from every angle: end user, project manager, business stakeholder, and now architect and strategic deployment leader in large organizations.

I’ve been at the forefront of rolling out Power Platform in complex environments, aligning technological innovation with business goals. In other words: not just building apps, but driving transformation and creating measurable business value.

Throughout my career, I’ve led governance programs, deployed Power Apps solutions to support international initiatives, guided the adoption of AI within business teams… and built communities (4,000 people strong) dedicated to sharing best practices and fostering a sustainable Power Platform culture.

Today, I’d like to share a candid field story: the keys to leveraging Power Platform as a true strategic transformation lever, the practices that really work (and the pitfalls I’ve personally stumbled into 😅)… with one promise: you’ll leave with concrete ideas — and maybe a fresh perspective on your Excel files.

Akshat Mishra

Akshat Mishra

Akshat is a Lead Product Designer for Agentic Experiences at Docusign. He uses AI to build and ship the products he designs – from rapid prototypes to production code.

Growing up in New Delhi, Akshat was obsessed with video games, which led him to study computer science. Along the way he discovered a passion for design, and has spent his career at the intersection of the two, never quite willing to pick just one. Today he uses AI tools to collapse the distance between an idea and something real, and is increasingly fascinated by what happens to product development when anyone can build – how teams change, how decisions move faster, and what becomes possible when one person can go from idea to working product.

When he's not at his laptop, he's either out on a run, deep in electronic music, or competing in hackathons just to see what he can build in a weekend.
