Ronald Harmsen

Ronald Harmsen

Ronald Harmsen has a slightly old-fashioned belief: the software you ship today should still be running, and still be a pleasure to work on, ten years from now. He has spent over 25 years putting that belief into practice as co-owner of NForza, where his team runs the systems their customers genuinely depend on. Some of those partnerships are now past two decades.

Whether the topic is AI-assisted development, Kubernetes platforms, software architecture, or pragmatic security, Ronald likes to ask the question most talks skip: what does this look like from year three forward? Expect concrete examples, strong opinions, and honest trade-offs.

A regular speaker at international conferences and trainer to thousands of developers and engineers across NL, NO, DK, SE, and the UK

Lani Gonzales

Lani Gonzales

Lani Gonzales helps successful women and high achievers who look accomplished on the outside—but feel exhausted, disconnected, or unfulfilled on the inside—create success without burnout and power without losing their soul.

Many of the women Lani works with have done everything “right.” They’ve built impressive careers, achieved financial independence, and earned respect—yet inside, they feel stuck, overextended, or quietly empty. The constant pressure to perform, produce, and prove has pulled them further from their intuition, their body, and their deeper sense of purpose.

After becoming a law firm partner at 23, Lani lived that same story. From the outside, she had it all. On the inside, she was driven by subconscious survival patterns and a nervous system locked in overdrive. Her own awakening led her to leave the legal profession and devote her life to studying the subconscious mind, human behavior, and the wisdom traditions that have guided healing and leadership for thousands of years.

Today, Lani blends neuroscience-based hypnotherapy, performance psychology, and ancient wisdom traditions to help high-achieving women:
- Rewire burnout and overdrive at the root
- Break free from subconscious self-sabotage
- Reconnect to clarity, intuition, and inner authority
- Build success that feels aligned, sustainable, and alive

Her talks are known for being raw, strategic, and deeply activating—combining modern science with timeless wisdom to create real, lasting transformation. Audiences leave with tools they can use immediately to change how they lead, live, and work.

I’m a CTO and software architect with a background in designing and evolving enterprise systems across complex, multi-product environments. I’ve worked on unifying data models, modernizing legacy architectures, and helping engineering teams ship reliable software at scale using Azure and .NET.

I was part of the core group introducing AI-assisted engineering workflows in a 5,000+ engineer organization, working through the real challenges of adoption, architectural constraints, and quality at scale.

I later transitioned to full-time CTO of an AI-native startup, where I designed the engineering process around AI-assisted workflows from day one. By aligning architecture, domain boundaries, and development practices with AI collaboration, we significantly compressed delivery timelines compared to traditional team structures.

Frederik Vannieuwenhuyse

Frederik Vannieuwenhuyse

Frederik Vannieuwenhuyse speaks and runs workshops on two connected topics: AI leadership — governance, collaboration models, and the organisational redesign that AI demands — and agentic software development — agents in the delivery workflow, structured methods like BMAD, quality gates, and what it changes about roles and reviews.

His claim: AI changes who does the work, who reviews it, and who is accountable — and most organisations have redesigned none of the three. His sessions give leaders and product development teams the models to make that redesign explicit: The 3 Collaboration Models, Your Agent Architecture Is Your Org Chart, Delegate / Redesign / Protect, and the AI Strategy Canvas.

He builds AI agent systems himself — today he is building again, full circle: agentic software engineering and product development. He doesn't claim to be the expert; the field is too new and moves too fast. What he brings is what twenty years of navigating complexity taught him, everything he learns from building, and the willingness to say what doesn't work yet.

Sessions are never pure slide talks: every one has a story, a live element, and puts the room to work — grounded in ten years of facilitation with Liberating Structures and Training from the Back of the Room. Recent stages: Agile2025 Denver, the Dutch AI Conference Amsterdam, and AI Summit Brussels — on a decade of European and US conference stages. Behind it: twenty years as a consultant through nearly every seat in the product development chain, and the highest international training and coaching credentials (CST & CEC, Scrum Alliance).

All sessions available in English and Dutch. Speaker kit, room requirements, and copy-ready program descriptions: value-first.be
