I sit right at the messy intersection of hard science and market strategy. As a Technology Transfer Officer at UM6P, my day job is helping inventions survive the 'Valley of Death'—that difficult gap between a lab discovery and a shelf-ready product.

I’m an engineer by training (Arts & Métiers) and PMP certified, so I’ve been in the trenches. Having co-authored research on frugal innovation, water treatment and mining platforms, I know the frustration of engineering challenges firsthand.

Right now, I’m focused on one thing: using AI to streamline the innovation process. I’m currently building workflows that help researchers and startups use Google's multimodal models to validate inventions, analyze prior art, and simulate complex systems before they ever hit the market.

A recent participant—a senior leader who has worked at Apple, Google, and Picsart—called Shannan's leadership offsite "hands down the best I've ever attended."

Shannan Scarselletta is a leadership and change expert who transforms Fortune 500 organizations through "a fun, neuroscience-backed, practical methodology that translates strategy into tangible behaviors." Over the past decade, her company has coached over 400 Fortune 500 leaders from the C-Suite to the front line, earning an exceptional 99% recommendation rate.

Shannan earned her degree in Philosophy at Cornell University where she was the Captain of the Women’s Basketball team, earning a trip to the 2008 NCAA Tournament. Shannan started her career as a change management consultant at IBM later moving to North Highland Consulting. Whenever Shannan wasn’t working, she was performing Improv at Second City and Upright Citizens Brigade in Los Angeles as well as iO and ComedySportz.

Shannan's nationwide Improv experience revealed what consulting lacked: the power of spontaneous, authentic connection. She founded ImproVision Consulting in 2015 to help leaders achieve their transformational goals by putting strategy into action—mastering powerful communication, adaptive thinking, and storytelling that inspires genuine change. Since then, Shannan has helped leaders all over the world from Utilities, Oil & Gas, Tech, Retail and Finance not only execute the change but be the change.

Rather than teaching leadership theory, Shannan creates leaders who thrive in uncertainty. Her memorable keynotes combine practical tools with interactive exercises, leaving attendees feeling inspired and equipped with concrete strategies for building high-performing teams and navigating complex challenges with agility and resilience.

Shannan lives in Houston with her husband Michael and two children. In her spare time, she enjoys perusing estate sales, teaching Improv classes and volunteering.

Dr Adam Sroka, Head of Machine Learning Engineering at Origami Energy, is an experienced data and AI leader helping organisations unlock value from data by delivering enterprise-scale solutions and building high-performing data and analytics teams from the ground up. Adam shares his thoughts and ideas through public speaking, tech community events, on his blog, and in his podcast.

Many organisations aren't getting the most out of their data and many data professionals struggle to communicate their results or the complexity and value of their work in a way that business stakeholders can relate to. Being able to understand both the technology and how it translates to real benefits is key.

Simply hiring the most capable people often isn’t enough. The solution is a mix of clear and explicit communication, strong fundamentals and engineering discipline, and an appetite to experiment and iterate to success quickly.

If this is something you’re struggling with - either as an organisation finding its feet with data and AI or as a data professional - the approaches and systems Adam has developed over his career will be able to help so please reach out.

Cutting edge data technologies are redefining every industry and adopting these new ways of working can be difficult and frustrating. One day, there will be best practices and playbooks for how to maximise the value from your data and teams, but until then Adam is eager to share his experiences in both business and data and shed some light on what works.
