Creator of The Strategic Human Firewall™, Cybersecurity Awareness expert, good guy hacker, and private investigator, he delivers 'straight talk' on security, stripping away jargon to empower everyday protection. A bestselling author, CEO of ProtectNowLLC.com, he is a trusted commentator featured on CNN, Fox News, MSNBC, and the Today Show, decoding complex threats for mass audiences. Robert says "Authentic security awareness training builds genuine security appreciation across every aspect of a person’s personal and professional life. Today, industry norms have diluted this concept, reducing security awareness to routine phishing simulations. While those simulations address a single, narrow vulnerability, they completely fail to engage the individual holistically or build a lasting defense."

Hernan Huwyler is a Global Risk Management Executive and the Academic Director at IE Law and Business School (Executive Education). With a dual background as an MBA and CPA, Hernan specializes in the intersection of Law, Technology, and Quantitative Risk.

He focuses on "translating" complex regulatory frameworks (EU AI Act, GDPR, ISO 42001) into actionable architectures for engineering and business teams. Unlike traditional compliance officers, Hernan advocates for data-driven risk management, moving beyond "heatmaps" to utilize Monte Carlo simulations, convolution models, and Python-based risk quantification.

Hernan has led Risk, Control, and Audit functions for major multinational corporations across Europe and the Americas. He writes and speaks extensively on Adversarial AI, Algorithmic Auditing, and the financial quantification of Cyber Risk. Past keynote venues include Risk Awareness Conferences (>2,000 risk managers), IIA and ISACA Summits, ProcureCom Europe, IKN Madrid, IE University, and closed-door sessions for international organizations and national regulators. Hernan’s talks consistently rank in the top 5% of conference feedback scores because he makes complex security requirements, business needs and regulations feel like a competitive advantage.

Speaking Topics:

AI Governance: Implementing ISO 42001 and navigating the EU AI Act.
Risk Quantification: Why "Impact x Probability" fails and how to use convolution models.
Adversarial AI: Balancing transparency with security to prevent data poisoning.
AI ROI: Risk-adjusted financial modeling for Generative AI deployments.
AI Architecture: Decision-making and planning on how to plan AI developments.

Ready-to-Submit Talk Proposals:

Session 1: The Technical/Quant Talk

Title: Kill the Heatmap: Quantifying AI Risk with Python & Monte Carlo Simulations
Abstract: Most organizations manage AI risk using colorful 5x5 "heatmaps." This is mathematically flawed and dangerous for high-stakes AI deployment. In this talk, we will ditch the gut-check methodology. I will demonstrate how to use convolution and Monte Carlo simulations to model the "tail risk" of AI hallucinations and regulatory fines. You will leave with a method to calculate the actual financial exposure of your models—no expensive GRC software required, just math and logic.

Session 2: The Governance/Security Talk

Title: The Transparency Trap: How to Audit AI Without Creating Vulnerabilities
Abstract: New standards like ISO/IEC 12792 demand AI transparency, but in the age of Adversarial Machine Learning, "oversharing" is a security vector. If you reveal your full architecture and training sources, you invite data poisoning and model inversion attacks. This session outlines a "Tiered Disclosure Architecture." We will discuss how to route specific data to auditors, regulators, and users differently, ensuring compliance with the EU AI Act without handing the keys to bad actors.

Session 3: The Business/Strategy Talk

Title: The Real Cost of Intelligence: A Risk-Adjusted Framework for AI ROI
Abstract: Companies are deploying Generative AI based on productivity hype, but they are ignoring the "OpEx Iceberg"—model drift, inference costs, and liability reserves. This talk presents a financial framework for calculating the true ROI of AI. We will cover how to factor in the "Risk Delta" (new risks vs. automated risks), calculate the Levelized Cost of AI (LCOAI), and determine when to build vs. buy based on process uniqueness. A session for leaders who need to justify the cloud bill to the CFO.

I design for user agency, across digital products and interactive narratives.

I’m the co-founder and CEO of Choose Your Fate, an interactive storytelling platform where creators build branching fiction and readers shape the story through their choices. I lead the company’s direction across product, business strategy, growth and the creator ecosystem, while staying hands-on in product design.

Most recently, I was a Principal Product UX/UI Designer at Persado, an enterprise AI platform that helps banks and other regulated brands create, score and optimize marketing language at scale. I designed the experiences where marketing and compliance teams review, approve and test AI-generated language.

I have a decade of experience in product design. I progressed from Product Designer to Head of Product Design at Mind-Alliance, a U.S.-based B2B software company building intelligence tools for law firms and legal teams, where I led a three-person design team. I’ve worked across AI, financial services, marketing and telecommunications, and my background is in Product & Systems Design Engineering.

Alongside my work, I co-organize ProductTank Athens, mentor designers on ADPList, and take part in events and conferences as a speaker or organizer, including the design team for PyCon Greece 2026. I write about design on Medium, with pieces published in UX Collective and Bootcamp.

I tend to gravitate toward the spaces between disciplines: where design meets technology, stories become systems, and products grow into communities.

Skyler Holobach built the compliance and abuse function at Pardot, now Salesforce, from scratch and spent 7 years deciding which senders got to keep sending. Her team made it through multiple acquisitions and shakeups without losing a single person, and she ranked in the top 10% of leaders at the company the entire time. She led product at SocketLabs next, where she grew revenue 25% year over year and shipped products from 0 to 1.

Today she runs Threadsmith Group, which pulls email senders out of deliverability crises (think Spamhaus listings, or the Monday morning when nothing is landing in the inbox) and fixes the habits that put them there. She has spoken at M3AAWG and Dreamforce more than once, and she chairs the Anti-Harassment committee for the Women of Email board, which has more than 9,000 members across 50 countries.

She writes and ships her own software with Claude Code and was a panelist on "Deciphering the AI Overwhelm" in New York. Years of watching bad actors hunt for every loophole give her a much less starry-eyed take on AI than most panels get. Her portfolio, also built with Claude, lives at holobach.com.

She also speaks on burnout, which she knows from every chair in the room: she has been the manager who caught it in her team before it became a resignation letter, she burned out herself as a high performer, and then she got laid off anyway with the metrics to prove performance was never the problem. Her Unspam talk on the neuroscience of burnout is where those two worlds met.

Off the clock, she trains saber and longsword at Athens School of Arms, crochets, sews, cross stitches, weaves, and has probably picked up another hobby since writing this bio. She holds a BS in Psychology from UGA and lives in Athens, Georgia.

Kristin Nobles is an AI for Good founder, social impact strategist, entrepreneur, and capital innovator working at the intersection of technology, healthcare, media, intellectual property, and impact finance.**

As Founder and CEO of B Noble Impact and Noble Care, Kristin has spent more than 25 years building, financing, and positioning companies, technologies, intellectual property, and mission-driven initiatives. Across her career, she has helped structure more than $500 million in capital and transactions**, bringing an operator’s understanding of how technology, leadership, capital, and storytelling must work together to create meaningful scale.

Today, Kristin is the creator of CAREN AI, an AI-powered healthcare copilot being developed to help patients with complex health conditions navigate fragmented healthcare, organize and control their health information, connect with appropriate providers, and contribute to the research and outcomes data needed to improve care.

Her work began with her own experience navigating complex illness and the questions surrounding breast implant-associated illness. That experience evolved into SickTitties.org, Noble Care Research, and a broader mission to use AI, patient-owned data, research, advocacy, and media to help move underserved health conditions from fragmented information toward evidence, access, and ultimately covered care.

Kristin is also an experienced media entrepreneur and executive producer whose work spans podcasts, film, streaming, branded entertainment, advocacy campaigns, and emerging media technologies. Her projects include Close to the Chest, Creating Woodstock, and the development of new media designed to turn awareness into measurable action.

She has spoken on AI for Good and technology-driven impact at the United Nations and international innovation forums, bringing together perspectives that are too often separated: entrepreneur, financier, technologist, patient advocate, artist, and media creator.

In 2026, Kristin was named Women Entrepreneur of the Year by Women in Cloud, recognizing her leadership in technology, entrepreneurship, and impact.

Her signature framework, TLC: Technology, Leadership + Capital, challenges organizations to think beyond innovation as a product and instead build the complete ecosystem required to fund, communicate, distribute, and scale change.

Whether speaking about artificial intelligence, women’s health, impact investing, entrepreneurship, patient-centered innovation, intellectual property, media, or the future of capital, Kristin’s central thesis is simple:
