Andre Thiemann

Andre Thiemann

As a Microsoft Certified Trainer and consultant, I help organizations build a secure, efficient, and future‑ready Microsoft 365 environment. My work focuses on the introduction and rollout of Microsoft 365 Copilot, the implementation of AI‑driven productivity strategies, and the improvement of collaboration, processes, and structures across Microsoft cloud services.

For many years, I have supported organizations throughout the entire Modern Workplace lifecycle — from workshops and audits to technical implementation, security hardening, and governance measures, as well as training programs for administrators and end users. This includes Microsoft 365 Tenant Security Checks, Entra ID and Intune optimization, and the implementation of best‑practice security aligned with Microsoft, BSI, and CIS standards.

Another key area of my work is data and permissions management, compliance, and Microsoft Purview, covering data lifecycle, governance, and cloud‑wide transparency — all aimed at creating secure, stable, and manageable environments in Microsoft 365.

As a speaker and community enthusiast, I make complex topics like AI, security, governance, and modern collaboration accessible, practical, and directly applicable. My sessions demonstrate how organizations can design efficient hybrid and digital workplaces, ranging from Copilot adoption and Teams optimization to governance automation using Microsoft 365 built‑in capabilities and AI‑supported workflows.

Alicia Kidd

Alicia Kidd

Alicia M. Kidd, MPA, is an AI strategist and the founder of CoCo Noir Labs, an Oakland-based consulting firm focused on AI strategy, governance, and security. Over nearly 20 years, she has led enterprise system implementations and organization-wide training programs across healthcare, biopharmaceutical, higher-education, and public-sector organizations — environments where data integrity, compliance, and user adoption were non-negotiable. She specializes in the change-management side of technical programs: turning policies and tools into habits that hold.

Alongside that work, Alicia spent a decade as an entrepreneur in the wine industry. In 2016 she founded The Wine Noire, a wine import, distribution, and consulting company, and parlayed it into CoCo Noir Wine Shop & Bar — an Oakland tasting room, event space, and bistro championing underrepresented, women-led, minority-led, and small producers. That decade of running a tasting room, an import book, and a consulting practice gives her a ground-level view of how the beverage business actually operates.

Through CoCo Noir Labs, she now advises organizations across hospitality, the public sector, and education on AI strategy, governance, change management, and project implementation — helping them decide where AI belongs, build the guardrails that keep it accountable, and carry it through to adoption rather than stopping at the pilot. That practice also produced Uncorked AI, an AI-powered platform that helps tasting rooms and wineries grow direct-to-consumer foot traffic and revenue. Her focus throughout is making AI practical, governed, and accessible — especially for the small and independent organizations most often left behind by it.

She received her AI Consultant Certification through AI InnoVision (CPD-accredited), and holds certificates of completion from Anthropic in Introduction to Model Context Protocol, Introduction to Agent Skills, Claude Code in Action, and Building with the Claude API. Alicia holds an M.P.A. with an option in Public Management and a B.S. in Business Administration with an option in Finance, both from California State University, East Bay.

Mukul Goyal

Mukul Goyal

Mukul Goyal — Strategy, Operations & Technology Leader

Strategy doesn't create business outcomes. Execution does. That's where Mukul Goyal creates value.

Mukul Goyal is a Strategy & Operations, Business Operations (BizOps), Growth and Technology Strategy professional based in Delhi, India, with nearly a decade of experience working at the intersection of business strategy, technology, digital growth, entrepreneurship and emerging technologies.

His career spans technology, SaaS, e-commerce, consulting and digital businesses, where he has contributed to building, scaling and transforming businesses through a combination of strategic thinking and hands-on execution.

Mukul began developing his digital-business and entrepreneurial experience through Dimraj Group, including Dimraj Traders, Dimraj Technologies, and Dimraj Management Consulting and Company. Through these businesses, he developed experience across international commerce, e-commerce, supply-chain operations, customer acquisition, marketplace operations, product strategy, technology services and business growth. Dimraj Traders has served 100,000+ customers globally, providing practical exposure to operating and scaling a multi-category commerce and supply-chain ecosystem.

His technology journey expanded through QuickTouch Technologies Limited, where he became involved during the company's formative growth phase. His contribution spanned digital strategy, marketing, business development, operations, product development and the QuickCampus education-technology ecosystem.

During this period, Mukul worked at the intersection of product, marketing, sales and technology, contributing to organizational restructuring, go-to-market initiatives, digital capabilities and business development. QuickTouch subsequently scaled significantly, with public disclosures reporting 3,500+ schools using its platform by FY23.

Dimraj Technologies has developed a portfolio of 90+ global clients.

A defining characteristic of Mukul's career is his ability to operate between business and technology. Rather than approaching business and technology as separate functions, he focuses on understanding business problems, translating them into actionable requirements, coordinating with technical teams, and turning solutions into commercially viable products, services and operating models.

Strategy → Execution → Outcomes

Mukul specializes in translating strategy into execution through:

Business Operations & Transformation
Go-To-Market (GTM) Strategy
Revenue Growth
Operational Excellence
Process Optimization
Business Analysis
Strategic Planning
Program & Project Management
Sales Operations & RevOps
Customer Acquisition

He brings an operator's mindset—combining strategic thinking with hands-on execution to solve complex business challenges, improve operational performance, optimize customer experiences, enable cross-functional collaboration and use data to drive measurable outcomes.

Technology & AI

Alongside his business leadership experience, Mukul has developed expertise across Artificial Intelligence, Generative AI, Large Language Models (LLMs), AI Agents, Prompt Engineering, Intelligent Automation, APIs, AWS, Google Cloud Platform (GCP), OpenAI, Microsoft Copilot and Digital Transformation.

This combination enables him to bridge business strategy, technology and execution, helping organizations understand and adopt modern AI-driven ways of working.

His professional interests increasingly focus on how AI, cloud, automation and intelligent systems can transform business operations, improve productivity and create scalable competitive advantages.

Technology Education & Community

Mukul is also active in the technology education and community ecosystem, participating as a speaker, mentor and industry contributor.

He is passionate about making emerging technologies understandable and practically useful for students, professionals, entrepreneurs and organizations.

Professional Philosophy

Mukul believes the next generation of business leaders will need to operate across multiple disciplines rather than within isolated functions.

Strategy without execution remains an idea. Technology without business context remains a tool. Growth without operational discipline is difficult to sustain.

His approach brings together:

Strategy + Operations + Technology + Data + AI + Execution

to build intelligent, scalable and globally competitive organizations.
