Ingeborg Hawighorst

I love solving problems with technology. Working across the whole spectrum of the M365 product suite, SharePoint, Teams, and the Power Platform apps are the main topics of my day job. Charts and data visualisation with Excel and Power BI are my favourite topics, but I also like a good dig around data with Power Query and DAX. I've been working with SharePoint for over 15 years, building sites, process automation and online integrations. After hours I spend a lot of time in online forums for Excel with the web alias "teylyn". As an end user, I prefer solutions that use the built-in functionality and as little custom code as possible. I've been a Microsoft MVP since 2012.

Luca Montanari

I am passionate about transformations—personal, digital, and agile. I love driving myself and others to become better versions of themselves through effort, learning, and change. I believe in embracing diversity and strive to create inclusive and supportive environments as a key to enabling people to fully express their potential. I enthusiastically support and promote agility since discovering that its underlying values align with my own and foster widespread well-being.

I am a multipotential individual with a spiky personality. This gives me unique strengths and vulnerabilities. I have an analytical mind and enjoy exploring and generating ideas. I am drawn to peculiarities, which sometimes makes me hyperfocus or completely lose focus. My socio-emotional reciprocity is quite unconventional—you may see me struggling when I am the center of attention, or I might completely miss your cues.

The scalable impact of IT solutions drew Lorenz toward completing a B.Sc. in Business Information Systems, which provided him with a strong foundation in data science, IoT and IT strategy. This expertise allowed him to drive digital transformation initiatives within Deutsche Telekom, one of Europe’s largest telecommunications companies. However, he came to realise that much more is theoretically technologically possible than is applied in companies or society at large. Therefore, he completed a Master of Studies in Social Innovation at Cambridge Judge Business School to complement his technical expertise, focusing on change management and social dynamics in innovation.

As the AI & Innovation Lead for both Procurement and Real Estate Management at Deutsche Telekom, Lorenz bridges cutting-edge AI technologies with strategic business objectives. Lorenz leads cross-functional teams to develop intelligent solutions that improve efficiency, align with sustainability goals, and address the needs of diverse stakeholders, ensuring Deutsche Telekom's innovations are both advanced and socially responsible.
