Dallas Jackson

Dallas Jackson

Dallas Jackson, the founder of Humaneering, is not your typical coach or trainer. She's the kind of person who believes in humanity before processes, and her journey in the world of Agile principles is as unique as she is. She's a coach, a practitioner, a methodologist, and a mentor, all rolled into one. She's the Swiss Army knife of agility, providing teams with the support they need, no matter what challenges they face.

Dallas embarked on the journey of founding Humaneering with a key focus in mind—to ensure that humans take the center stage in decision-making and processes across every facet of business. But it doesn't stop there. Humaneering also places a strong emphasis on sustainability, recognizing that a humane approach to business goes hand in hand with responsible and enduring practices for the planet. In a world where profit often takes precedence, Dallas and Humaneering champion a brighter, more balanced future where people and the environment thrive alongside business success.

In her previous life, Dallas was the Enterprise Coach at Whole Foods Market, where she focused on bringing agility to the forefront of the organization, coaching teams of all shapes and sizes to work with more agility. Whether it's HR, Accounting and Finance or the oldie but goodie, Technology, Dallas has shared her Agile expertise, witnessing teams undergo remarkable transformations.

But here's the twist – Dallas doesn't leave her Agile principles at the office. Nope, they follow her home too. Her household is a living testament to agility, complete with a Kanban board for her teenagers and inspect and adapt conversations around the clock. Dallas is not your typical Agile practitioner. She's a trailblazer in bringing agility into the world of non-profits, with a particular focus on industries and methods crucial to our planet's future—circular economy and organizations focused on our climate crisis. Her expertise extends far beyond the traditional Agile settings, demonstrating that agility can revolutionize even the most unconventional organizations and environments.

But what sets Dallas apart is her unwavering belief that every meaningful journey begins with that crucial first step in the right direction. She's on a mission to drive change, one agile step at a time, in industries where the stakes couldn't be higher.

Nizzar Ben Chekroune – Futurist in Brand Strategy, AI, and Web3 Pioneering The Quantum Branding.

Nizzar Ben Chekroune is pioneering The Quantum Branding through his Ai virtual LAB. With over 17 years of experience turning visionary ideas into impactful brands. Often dubbed a “Brand Therapist” and “Brand Expert Builder,” he is renowned for his unique branding and strategy model that diagnoses brand challenges and prescribes innovative solutions drawn from decades of hands-on expertise. As a strategy expert and social media content creator, Nizzar has helped hundreds of brands, entrepreneurs and Web3 projects craft their brand identity and community strategy across the globe, leveraging emerging tech like AI and blockchain to stay ahead of the curve. He wears many hats – Brand Strategy consultant, AI expert & educator, Web3 innovator – and has become the go-to mentor for CEOs and startups looking to build powerful, future-proof personal brands and business strategies.

Pioneering Web3 and AI-Driven Brand Strategy

In the realm of Web3 and blockchain, Nizzar is recognized as a true futurist and pioneer. In 2021, he launched UnlimitArt, the world’s first NFT investment fund, raising $2.7 million to invest in digital art and iconic NFT collections – an effort that resulted in a remarkable eight-figure exit. This early success in the NFT space cemented Nizzar’s reputation for identifying trends before they go mainstream and capitalizing on them for brand growth. He has since co-founded BananaCorp/BananaConf, a global Web3 and AI ecosystem and conference, and developed a cutting-edge AI GPT tool focused 100% on brand strategy – harnessing artificial intelligence to streamline branding processes and give his clients a competitive edge. Nizzar’s approach to AI-driven brand strategy blends human creativity with AI insights, simplifying complex technologies into practical branding solutions. As a futurist with a gift for demystifying complexity, he is frequently sought out to explain emerging tech in simple terms: he even explained NFTs and blockchain on TV5 Monde to over 300 million viewers, making Web3 concepts accessible to a worldwide audience.

He has been selected by Google Arts & Culture and Gucci among the world’s top creatives to judge global design competitions, and was featured in NFT.NYC’s “Who to Follow” list as part of the top 2% of Web3 builders making a difference.
