A biologist by training, teacher, and specialist in data and agility. With 20 years of experience at Petrobras, I moved through field operations, management, and environment until focusing, from 2019 onward, on agile methodologies (Scrum, Kanban, Lean Inception) and innovation.

My true passion is Design Thinking, especially Design Flow—a methodology I specialized in to bridge the gap between human-centered problem exploration and agile product delivery. My work combines the empathy of this design approach with the pragmatism of Data Analysis, using Power BI to support decisions and validate discoveries.

Today, I work in the HSE management team for E&P, designing new corporate processes focused on driving value for the company and caring for people. In the classroom or on stage, I transform this background of real-world cases into practical, accessible learning for professionals looking to manage processes and businesses in a modern way.

I am Sophia Pfab, a passionate Agile Transformation Consultant and Organizational Developer with a foundation in Industrial Engineering.

My core focus is creating real value, driving efficiency, and sustainably fostering self-organization and intrinsic motivation within teams—always with a clear outcome-orientation. I thrive on helping organizations and teams establish more effective and long-lasting ways of working.

With several years of experience as a consultant and Scrum Master, I have successfully implemented scaled agile frameworks (e.g., Nexus) and guided organizations through their agile transformations. I use my analytical skills to quickly detect tensions within teams, resolving them through targeted coaching and empathy, supported by my training in Nonviolent Communication (NVC).

My role extends beyond classical Scrum: I coach Product Owners and development teams, facilitate and design customized workshops, and strategically apply methods like Team Topologies and OKRs. My background as a former developer provides me with a deep technical understanding, and I am proficient in tool administration (e.g., Jira, Confluence, and Miro).

I am highly networked within the agile community, regularly discussing current challenges, and I communicate fluently in German and English.

I began writing thought pieces on sustainable design, diversity, and inclusivity while I was still a design student who was trying to find my colours. I actively look for opportunities to advocate for gender-inclusive design practices.

As a non-binary person, motivated by my lived experiences as a consumer and driven by my spirit as an informed UX designer, I believe that Inclusivity shouldn’t be an afterthought. I can safely say that, having been on both sides of the coin, the designer and the user in this context, empathy goes a long way. Making one feel seen and heard can be so validating, and that validation shouldn’t be something that feels extraordinary to experience. It should be normal.

I'm here dropping my two cents in design, data, and tech, to be part of something that creates value.

Akshay Roy is Co-Founder and CTO of Flotive AI, where he leads engineering on AI systems that automate permitting and compliance workflows for energy projects compressing timelines that once took months and helping critical infrastructure come online faster.

Before founding Flotive, Akshay spent nearly a decade in the physical AI and autonomy space, building robots and autonomous machines that had to make reliable decisions in the real world, where software errors have immediate physical consequences. As Team Lead at GPR, he led engineering for mapping, localization, and autonomous vehicle perception. At Vecna Robotics, he was part of the core technical autonomy team.

That foundation shipping AI in systems that couldn't afford to be wrong is the lens through which he now approaches deploying AI in regulated, high-consequence industries.

Shelly Thomas, PE, MBA is the founder of Building Beta and one of the few Copilot strategists who has actually run the operations she now teaches executives to transform.

Her career spans 20+ years across oil and gas, manufacturing, and industrial distribution, managing Fortune 500 relationships at Morton Salt's Industrial Division and directing global eCommerce operations at Chart Industries. She brings that same operational accountability into every training room.

Her programs are built for leaders who are time-starved, skeptical, and responsible for outcomes their boards can measure. The goal isn't to make executives into power users, it's to make them the kind of leader who spreads AI capability across their entire organization. The teams who go through her programs become the most valuable resource in the building. That's what she designs for.

Shelly serves on the UAA College of Engineering Advisory Board, co-chairs Alaska's Women in Engineering Advisory Board, and co-hosts the Breaking Frozen Ground podcast on engineering careers in Alaska. She is based in Alaska, and she operates exactly where you'd expect someone called the Copilot Strategist on the Last Frontier to operate.
