Amélie E. Koran is currently the Senior Technology Advocate for Splunk and recently served as the Deputy Chief Information Officer and most recently as Chief Technology Officer for the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, Office of the Inspector General. However, Amélie’s path prior to today took her the long way around − through multiple industry sectors, academia, and the public sector. Her professional experience includes time spent at The Walt Disney Company, Carnegie Mellon University’s CERT/CC, Mandiant, The World Bank, Constellation Energy (now Exelon) and The American Chemical Society. She began her time in the public sector as Lead Enterprise Security Architect for the U.S. Department of the Interior, eventually moving on to lead Continuous Diagnostics and Mitigation implementation for the U.S. Treasury Department. Amélie later spent time on a leadership development rotation as part of the President’s Management Council Fellowship serving the Federal CIO in supporting cybersecurity policy analysis and legislative review, where she took an active role in the government-wide Open Data Initiative and helped in giving “birth” to the United States Digital Service (USDS). She’s an ardent advocate for innovative approaches to hiring talent and rationally applying security strategies and technologies for the public and private sector.

In her free time she collects movie memorabilia, toys and LEGO sets and swims and bicycles for exercise and fun. She’s an avid motorcyclist, having ridden the Iron Butt 50CC Challenge in 2010 on her way to BlackHat and DEFCON. She volunteers at local security conferences, primarily BSides DC and BSides NoVA, but can also be seen at BSides Las Vegas and DEFCON as a Goon. She’s married to a wonderful spouse (also a techie) and became a recent parent to two precious kittens at the end of October. While working for Stan “The Man” Lee, she received her superhero nickname when helping move his personal comic book collection to the company vaults from his original home in the hills overlooking Hollywood. Her original foray into the Internet was in 1993, building one of the first 1000 websites ever, called the “Star Wars Multimedia Archive”, and then in 1996 built the preeminent film and television music website, SoundtrackNet, which she ran until 2012 when she sold it to focus more towards her main career. While she plays the drums, she’s not very good at them, but can at least keep time.

Meet Russell, the visionary CEO and co-founder of RadiXplore, who is revolutionizing the resources sector by harnessing the power of AI to accelerate mineral discovery and reduce exploration risk. As a geologist who experienced firsthand the challenge of manually analyzing decades of unstructured geological data, Russell transitioned into data science and software development with a singular mission: to unlock the hidden potential within the earth's resources. This led him to establish RadixGeo, a consultancy streamlining data management through robotic process automation and machine learning.

Driven by an entrepreneurial spirit, Russell then created RadiXplore, an innovative AI platform that leverages deep learning, natural language processing, and large language models to analyze millions of pages of complex geological data in minutes, offering clients up to 80% reduction in analysis time. With RadiXplore, resource-oriented organizations can optimize their workflows, gain higher confidence in prospect generation, and make data-driven decisions with unprecedented speed and accuracy. Russell's vision extends beyond initial discoveries, aiming to leverage RadiXplore's capabilities across the entire resources value chain to support strategic, economic, and ESG goals for a sustainable future.
