Mira Horáček

Mira Horáček

Mira is a Staff Security/Software Engineer at a unicorn-stage SaaS company running on Microsoft Azure in a multi-cloud environment. As one of the ten architects responsible for both software and security architecture, he shapes the trajectory of a platform built on .NET - from the monolith that carries the business to the emerging microservices that will define its future, while being actively engaged in both business and technical guidance during M&A events.

By day, I navigate the tension between shipping fast and shipping safe across a product surface that now includes LLM-powered features. By night (and early morning, and weekends), I build games, convenience apps, and small tools using every conventional and unconventional AI coding assistant I can get his hands on (I used to do small scoped projects prior to the AI era as well) and I have the experience as both a hobby and a long-running field study in what these tools actually produce.

I speak from the intersection of architecture, security, culture, and hands-on making. I have some production scars, real side-project joy, and very few slides with stock photos.

Hernan Huwyler

Hernan Huwyler

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.

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.

Ayush Dubey

Ayush Dubey

Ayush Dubey is a Yale School of Management MBA candidate, London Business School exchange student, and emerging speaker at the intersection of AI, technology M&A, private equity value creation, energy transition, and enterprise transformation.

His work focuses on how organizations make better decisions when technology, capital, infrastructure, and human judgment are all changing at once. In private equity advisory, Ayush has worked across technology diligence, carve-out planning, post-merger integration, and value creation strategy. His broader operating experience spans digital transformation, manufacturing technology, AI/ML deployment, energy analytics, sustainability strategy, and global operations.

Ayush’s energy and infrastructure lens is central to his work. At Yale, his academic and project work has covered climate finance, project finance, energy and infrastructure, land use, real assets, sustainable finance, renewable energy, and geothermal commercialization. His capstone work includes geothermal data-center cooling strategy and commercialization for a climate-tech company, as well as forest and carbon decision-support work for land-use protection. At London Business School, his private equity-focused exchange adds exposure to corporate turnarounds, pricing, and strategic innovation, strengthening his ability to connect investment logic with operational execution.

Ayush’s AI thought leadership examines a central question: what happens when AI makes individuals and organizations appear more capable before their judgment, governance, and operating systems have caught up? His CIO.com article, “The 10-Man Parity Rule: When AI Adoption Accelerates Faster Than Organizations Can See,” argues that AI is increasingly pulled into work by employees, quietly outpacing traditional governance and reshaping who gets leverage inside companies.

In 2026, Ayush was selected to speak and present at AI @ Yale Symposium: From Innovation to Impact. His talk, “Clarity before Understanding: How Generative AI Reshapes Judgment in MBA Education,” explored how AI can produce polished synthesis before independent judgment is formed. His connected poster, “The AI Visibility Gap: Why Leaders Misread Capability Inside Their Own Organizations,” translated the same concern into the workplace context, asking how leaders can assess capability when AI changes the visible signals of work.

Ayush also serves as a reviewer for the Academy of Management Annual Meeting in M&A and is listed on the UNESCO Expert Roster in Natural Sciences. He holds a B.Tech. in Aerospace Engineering from IIT Bombay, bringing a systems-level lens to questions of AI adoption, energy transition, corporate transformation, private equity value creation, and leadership judgment.
