Chelsea Mandello is the Founder and CEO of Troopster Donation Corp, a veteran-founded 501(c)(3) nonprofit dedicated to sending care packages to deployed U.S. service members worldwide.

A Navy veteran who served across nine ships and 13 countries, Chelsea witnessed firsthand the gap that exists at mail call — some service members receive packages from home, and some don't. She launched Troopster on Thanksgiving Day 2015 while still on active duty, and has since grown it into a national operation that has sent more than 82,000 care packages to deployed troops across 22+ countries, engaged 9,400+ volunteers in 15 states, and produced 199 community events. In 2026 — the year the United States turns 250 — Troopster will pack its 100,000th care package.

Chelsea holds an Executive MBA from William & Mary and has been recognized with numerous awards for her entrepreneurial leadership and commitment to the military community, including the 2024 National Veteran Entrepreneur of the Year from the U.S. Forces in Business Awards.

Nasly Duarte is a Miami-based operations accountant with 20 years of experience across construction, insurance restoration, manufacturing, retail, and trade services. These are the same physical environments now being transformed by autonomous systems, humanoid robotics, and smart building technology.

She is the founder of Mindful Dollar, a financial architecture firm that designs autonomous operating systems for business owners under the principle of Doing More With Less. Her work sits at the intersection of how physical operations generate financial data, how that data moves through an organization, and how AI systems are beginning to act on it without human checkpoints.

Nasly is pursuing her BS in Applied Artificial Intelligence at Miami Dade College, home of Florida's first applied AI degree program. Her academic work focuses on transaction systems for autonomous financial workflows.

Two decades of sedentary desk work did real damage to her body before she understood the cost. That experience became the foundation of her Balance Problem framework, which identifies the physical health crisis hiding inside every conversation about the future of knowledge work. She documents her recovery and research publicly through her Think Like a Healer series.

She is the originator of two futurist frameworks shaping her speaking practice.

1. The Interchange describes the coming convergence of tech workers acquiring trade skills and trade workers acquiring AI tools — not because the market forces them to, but because their bodies and brains require it.

2. Buildings Are the New Computers argues that physical environments are already the most undervalued data infrastructure in the AI economy, and that the workers generating that data deserve equity in the systems being built from it.

Her talks challenge organizations to stop training workers for the economy of five years ago and start positioning workers as equity participants in the AI systems being built today. She brings to every stage the perspective of someone who has spent two decades inside the operations layer, not observing it from the outside.

She is based in Florida and speaks nationally on autonomous business systems, smart building economics, workforce equity in the AI economy, the Balance Problem, The Interchange, and financial architecture for the autonomous enterprise.
