Yuri Bacciarini

Hi!
I've been working since 2015, and I mainly worked for companies in the finance sector (for mid/big EU banks) but I also used to see more from the outside world (for example startups founded by me).

I enjoy describing my role as a recipe with the following ingredients:
* Software developer experience (front/back)
* Architecture experience
* Cloud knowledge
* Some magic / personal inspirations (to taste) <-- coming from personal projects/startup/initiatives

Last but not least, my hobby is running ultramarathons. It relaxes my brain, and it organizes my ideas in order to be ready for the next challenge.

Nir Bashan

Nir Bashan

Nir Bashan spent a lot of time on skid row.

He wasn’t there for the shadow economy of drugs and prostitution and discounts on designer knock offs. Instead, he found his formative years in a warehouse in the middle of skid row in downtown Los Angeles. For what he found in this warehouse changed his life forever.

This warehouse bristled with an energy unlike any he has ever experienced. It was a rehearsal space for musicians from all over the world. Where else could a kid jam with the likes of Fishbone and Rob Zombie? All of which Nir did his best to keep up with. Initially, Nir thought it was the music that made the place so electric. He would spend the rest of his life learning otherwise. It was not the music or art that made the place irresistible. It was the creativity. This experience energized Nir and inspired him to devote the rest of his life to spreading creativity to the four corners of the globe.

Today, Nir is a top business speaker leading innovation for high performing leaders and individuals around the globe. As founder and CEO of The Creator Mindset® LLC, where he helps organizations and leaders foster a culture of innovation with his groundbreaking creativity keynote speeches that supercharge business models to improve profitability, increase sales, and boost customer service.

He is represented by 6 speaking bureaus and is consistently ranked as a top innovation keynote speaker. As an invited guest, he regularly speaks to some of the most beloved brands on earth such as Rolex and Porsche.
