Jacqueline “Jaki” Stockwell is the CEO & Founder of Leadership Through Data, a global company who provide information management training and consultancy to both public and private sectors.

Alongside running the business, Jaki is also a professional speaker and is invited to attend international conferences and events. Jaki’s sessions are all about teaching information managers how to deliver fun, engaging and informative presentations to their colleagues in their respective businesses. As information managers know, it’s important that everyone in a business understands what information management is, however getting them to listen and comply is undeniably difficult. Jaki’s teaching methods empower information managers to think differently and use psychology along with a combination of styles to get their message across; after all, one size doesn’t fit all.

As well as being an international speaker, Jaki’s creative and inspirational leadership style and proactive approach to information management has led her to mentor others. She is quoted by clients and industry peers who say that “her positive attitude is infectious” and “she is totally human in her approach”.

Jacqueline’s aim in her career is to simplify information management what is unfortunately viewed as a complex and uninteresting topic, into relevant practical and enjoyable solutions which can be understood and implemented by all. The safety and security of information is both key to successful businesses but also a threat to their success if not managed effectively.

Whether in business or in her personal life, Jaki is always mindful of her sustainability efforts. At home she loves to upcycle and breathe new life into preloved furniture and décor. She loves to craft and sew and enjoys gardening and growing fruit and vegetables - no matter how successful the harvest may be .

Randy Finch of Sarasota is a roofing contractor, business owner, and former Marine whose life reflects service, discipline, and long-term commitment to skilled work. Based in Florida, he has built his career through direct experience, steady effort, and a practical understanding of responsibility. His path includes military service, many years in the roofing field, business leadership, and technical work related to legal disputes. Across each stage of that path, he has remained focused on doing useful work, meeting obligations, and earning trust through actions rather than promises.

Randy Finch spent his early years in the community where he was raised and completed his education before graduating from high school. After that, he chose to enlist in the Marine Corps during Operation Iraqi Freedom and served in frontline combat roles. That kind of service demanded mental toughness, discipline, and the ability to act under pressure. The experience shaped how he viewed duty, teamwork, and sacrifice, and it gave him habits that continued to guide him after he returned to civilian life.

Randy Finch entered the roofing industry after completing military service and began learning the trade through direct, hands-on work. Over approximately 18 years, he developed a broad knowledge of residential and commercial roofing systems by working in real job conditions and gaining experience from the ground up. He became familiar with installation methods, repair work, materials, and structural assessment. Those years gave him a solid base in the field and helped him understand the level of care and consistency required to produce dependable roofing work.

Randy Matthew Finch from Sarasota also benefited from spending years working for established roofing companies before starting his own business. That experience allowed him to see how successful operations depend on more than technical skill alone. He learned how teams are organized, how projects are scheduled, how customer relationships are maintained, and how business decisions affect the quality of work. By observing those processes closely, he developed a broader view of the industry and gained the practical understanding needed to lead others and manage responsibilities well.

Randy Finch eventually decided to build a company based on the experience he had gained over many years in the field. He founded his own roofing business and has led it for 6 years, focusing on reliable service and sound operations. Running a company in this industry requires carefully estimating jobs, managing crews and subcontractors, meeting code requirements, controlling costs, and maintaining customer trust. He has taken on those responsibilities with a steady approach shaped by experience rather than image.

Randy Finch has also earned respect for the depth of his knowledge in matters that go beyond routine roofing projects. He has served as a roofing expert in construction litigation, providing technical analysis and deposition testimony when disputes require informed professional judgment. That type of work calls for careful review of evidence, objective thinking, and the ability to explain findings clearly in formal settings. His involvement in those matters shows that his judgment has been trusted in situations where accuracy and clarity are especially important.

Sarasota native Randy Matthew Finch has received professional recognition that reflects consistent standards in his work. Among those accomplishments is GAF Master Elite certification, a distinction awarded to only a small percentage of roofing contractors in the United States. He has also achieved Gold-level distinction in that program, reflecting strong performance in installation and customer service. These recognitions are meaningful because they point to verified standards rather than self-promotion, and they support the reputation he has built through experience, reliability, and attention to quality.

Randy Finch approaches both work and daily life with values shaped by faith, honesty, and service. As a Christian, he seeks to apply those beliefs in practical ways through his leadership, personal conduct, and interactions with others. He has also remained committed to the wider community by supporting the local sheriff’s department and contributing to Starlink-supported search-and-rescue operations in the county. Taken together, his military service, trade experience, business leadership, and community involvement reflect a life centered on responsibility, humility, and steady contribution.

Tim Jarratt is a walking contradiction. Californian by birth, he grew up on an island but never learned how to swim nor drive (how he managed to escape remains a mystery).

Across twenty years of experience, he's held a variety of roles (director of engineering, lead engineer, chief metaphor officer, to name a few). What keeps him interested and motivated in tech is the human element - pair programming, test-driven development, and a stubborn insistence that we can build better software for our users if we only tried things that seem impossible.

After a decade sweating in Silicon Valley he moved to Paris, France, where he lives with his family and two cats.

His current day job is at Maersk, working on Energy Transition. His teams are responsible for accurate reporting of carbon emissions, and building tools that help over 500 thousand employees take decisions that will reduce emissions. He uses elixir because it's awesome, and the best tool for the job.

Jeannine Du Chateau has more than 15 years of experience as a Senior Manager, leading Environmental, Health, and Safety governance, facilities operations, and enterprise risk management across multinational, multi-site organizations. Her professional focus centers on aligning Environment, Health, Safety, and Quality strategies with business objectives while supporting regulatory compliance and operational stability. Across sectors including manufacturing, food production, energy, chemicals, and medical devices, she has supported complex operations and global teams responsible for regulated environments.

Jeannine has developed broad experience strengthening ISO management systems and coordinating operational support functions across diverse industrial settings. Her responsibilities have included working with manufacturing shop floor teams, engineering departments, supply chain professionals, procurement groups, warehousing operations, and maintenance functions.

Training activities were later delivered at several FCX and Rio Tinto mining locations in the United States and internationally, including the DRC in Africa.

Du Chateau also conducted auditing assignments across several highly regulated organizations and operational facilities. These assignments included auditing NASA sites in Cape Canaveral, Florida, and Houston, Texas, for compliance with ISO 14001 and ISO 45001. She supported certification processes for Thales sites in Florida and California. She helped guide ISO 14001 certification across Rockwell operations in multiple states in the United States and Mexico, covering 50 sites within Motion Control.

She previously worked with the same organization from 2017 to 2020 as Senior QEHS and Sustainability Customer Manager and Lead Auditor before returning in 2022. During that time, she collaborated with accreditation bodies to manage certification activities, support audit remediation processes, and maintain compliance continuity for multinational clients. These efforts strengthened certification visibility and operational credibility across global markets.

Du Chateau also served for two years as Senior Maintenance Facilities QEHS and Security Manager at Thales Avionics, a company operating within defense, aerospace, and digital technology sectors. In this role, she oversaw governance across regulated manufacturing and airport environments.
