Víctor Izquierdo Montes

Víctor Izquierdo Montes

I am a 32-year-old from Córdoba with a lifelong passion for process optimization. Thanks to the versatility AI offers, I enjoy applying it to my projects as a Power Platform specialist at MDW Partners.

Originally, I pursued double majors in Business Administration and Management and Law, and I hold an MBA. However, I've always been fascinated by computer science. After several years of using reports for analytical decision-making, I decided to shift my focus to creating them directly.

Later, I discovered the potential of Power Platform, and I now focus on developing complete solutions using the tools available on this platform. With the growing interest in AI among companies, I incorporate Azure OpenAI tools like GPT, DALL·E, and Whisper into many of my projects.

Ben spent a decade leading teams across Europe for a global consultancy and working with brands like Google, Meta and Samsung. From New York to Amsterdam to London, he saw the same pattern: leaders clear about who they wanted to be, who became someone else when the pressure hit.

Today he works daily with senior leaders to close that gap, and brings the same change into the room when he speaks, with clarity, energy and frameworks people can apply the next morning.

Nick Finch

Nick Finch

Nick Finch is CTO and co-founder of inmydata, where he leads the development of AI-first infrastructure for enterprise.

inmydata is built on a simple observation. Most of what an organisation knows lives in people's heads rather than its systems, and the data that does sit in systems is locked inside ERPs and legacy platforms that AI cannot easily reach. The company addresses both problems through two pillars. A Data Platform that gives AI real-time semantic access to operational data, and a Knowledge AI layer centred on an Expert Interview System that autonomously captures tacit knowledge from subject matter experts, served through an Agentic RAG architecture combining vector search, lexical search, and structured retrieval under agent control.

Nick brings around 20 years in data analytics and four years working hands-on with LLMs to that mission, having built production agentic systems across commodity trading, enterprise database administration, and operational analytics, integrating ERP data, financial markets, and external data sources at scale.

inmydata is AI-first in how it builds as well as what it builds. The team has developed a leading agentic engineering practice, where AI agents do most of the work under human supervision, and writes openly about how to do it well at inmydata.ai/blog. Nick speaks regularly at industry conferences and publishes on agentic architecture and engineering discipline, arguing that agentic AI compresses the SaaS UI layer to near-zero, while making the underlying business logic, data, and engineering practices that produce them more valuable when properly packaged for AI consumption.

Brad Bowden

Brad Bowden

Brad Bowden has spent more than 15 years working with companies and leadership teams to improve how software is built, tested, and delivered. His career has centered on quality engineering and digital transformation, where strong processes and reliable systems are essential for business success. Throughout his professional journey, he has worked closely with executives to connect technology services with practical business outcomes. Instead of focusing only on short-term sales activity, he emphasizes long-term partnerships and measurable results. He has developed a reputation for consistency, accountability, and a practical approach to solving technology challenges.

Brad currently serves as Senior Director of Business Development at QualiZeal, where he leads business development efforts across the Southeast. In this role, he works with enterprise organizations to strengthen quality engineering practices and align them with operational goals. Through disciplined outreach and consistent execution, he helped the company secure several Fortune 1000 clients and strengthen its presence in the region. His approach to working with clients is direct and practical. He asks leaders about their desired business outcomes, then connects quality engineering strategies to those goals with clear direction. By focusing on better risk identification, stronger release confidence, and shorter feedback cycles, he helps organizations improve the reliability of their software delivery.

Before joining QualiZeal, Bowden served as Senior Director of Business Development at Cigniti Technologies. During that period, the company expanded its global reputation and market reach, eventually becoming one of the leading quality engineering firms worldwide. He led commercial expansion in the United States, with a particular focus on the Southeast, and helped secure several Fortune 500 accounts. His responsibilities included identifying strategic accounts, strengthening executive relationships, and ensuring that delivery capabilities aligned with client expectations.

His role extended beyond closing agreements. Brad stayed involved with clients after contracts were signed to help ensure that commitments made during the sales process translated into long-term partnerships. By maintaining executive-level communication and reinforcing accountability, he supported strong relationships and consistent results.

Earlier in his career, Bowden served as Head of Sales for the United States consulting business at QualityKiosk Technologies. In that position, he focused on expanding market penetration and strengthening enterprise consulting partnerships. Before that, he held leadership roles at two consulting firms that were later acquired after achieving strong growth. These experiences helped him understand how technology services organizations scale and where operational challenges often appear.

Quality engineering has remained a central theme throughout his professional journey. Brad has seen how poorly managed testing practices can delay software releases, frustrate customers, and weaken business performance. At the same time, he has observed how disciplined quality engineering practices protect brand reputation while supporting innovation. As artificial intelligence becomes more integrated into modern systems, he recognizes the importance of combining AI-driven testing with strong quality engineering foundations.

Brad Bowden continues to focus on building lasting partnerships, improving software reliability, and contributing to steady progress in the technology industry.

Piotr Rogala

Piotr Rogala

As a Principal Architect Azure at Nordcloud, I lead the development of advanced, optimized cloud solutions, primarily leveraging the Microsoft Azure platform. My core focus is empowering clients through their digital transformation journey, helping them maximize business potential and operational efficiency by designing highly optimized architectures.

My expertise and dedication to the community have been repeatedly recognized by Microsoft with the prestigious MVP (Most Valuable Professional) and MCT (Microsoft Certified Trainer) titles. Although I currently focus on architecture, I previously spent many years sharing my proprietary knowledge by conducting postgraduate courses at Polish universities.

Driven by a passion for promoting new technological solutions, I actively engage with the IT community: I organize specialized Azure workshops, speak as a presenter at conferences and meetups, and run my technical blog, https://justcloud.pl.
