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 .

How about I just copy my LinkedIn sentence: Champion for Women in Technology | Curious Conversationalist | Neurospicy Leader | Constant Student | New Podcaster | Tech Operations Enthusiast | Retired Photographer | Hufflepuff Always:

Hi I am Amanda and I hate writing these things - I don't really want to talk about me - I always want to learn more about others and help wherever I can. If you must know about me: I am 50% owner of an MSP in Ontario, Canada which I run with my husband Bryan. I am in Operations and take care of "Managing" the managers and amongst a lot of other random things - I deal with the process side of things. That being said in guiding our managers I am often a resource to translate human behaviour and come up with people solutions that help bridge gaps. I have been told by my own staff (not my words) that I am a bold and confident leader that's great at hard conversations but I guess that means I am probably just good at pretending that I am. After 15+ years as a wedding photographer (a high demand job that requires an incredible amount of diplomacy), a career in customer service and a degree in social work my skills usually lie in finding common ground and understanding and then deploying solutions that match. I have no idea how much of this you will use but if you have to know personal things about me I also have two kids, and am an avid reader. I have always loved technology but was told at a young age that it "wasn't for girls" but way down the line I ended up here anyways. I have a podcast dedicated to informing admin personnel that work in technical spaces about technical topics to help them feel less lost and then I also run a not for profit dedicated to teaching young girls (6-12) about STEM related topics. We build robots, program microduino, make lava lamps, test engineering theories, and really the list goes on for all the creative stuff we get up to. What I am really doing is trying to create a culture of curiosity surrounding STEM for girls in a safe space while also empowering them to be more confident. If you are wondering how I have time for all of this - as I mentioned above I am neurospicy aka have ADHD and having many things on the go is the norm for me. ( FYI if you accept me to speak - please don't use this as my actual bio - El has offered to rewrite it for me and I feel like she will be fantastic at that)

I am Oluwafemi Aderogba, a seasoned DevOps Engineer and AWS Cloud Engineer with a robust background in managing large-scale Linux environments and optimizing system performance and security. Throughout my career, I have been dedicated to integrating robust DevOps and MLOps practices across diverse organizational frameworks to boost operational efficiency and drive innovation.
