Shaza Al-Haddad

Shaza Al-Haddad

I don’t just talk about cyber. I talk about what it means to build, break and question it.

From security engineering and infrastructure to negotiation, diversity and the quiet politics of saying "no", I bring energy, clarity and just enough chaos to keep people leaning in.

I’ve worked across development, engineering, SOC and consulting in sectors like government, finance, education and tech services. I’ve delivered systems, created training, and explored the human edges of tech through my own cybersecurity research. My talks span a variety of topics including cloud security, threat modelling, engineering culture, inclusion, career resilience and more.

I’ve represented and spoken at multiple tech events including BSides London, Capslock and women-in-tech events. I regularly give back by speaking at universities and high schools, helping others find their feet in the industry and see themselves in spaces they didn’t think were built for them.

Whether it’s a sharp 20-minute idea or a deeper hour-long dive, I’m here for talks that connect, challenge and leave something behind.

He has also supported the Jewish Federation of Northern New Jersey, helping to fund initiatives that benefit local communities. His involvement with the Diabetes Research Institute Foundation further showcases his commitment to improving public health, as he has been a part of efforts to fund diabetes research and advance treatment options.

One of Eric’s most rewarding projects has been his work with the Challenger Program within Tenafly Youth Basketball. This program allows children with special needs to participate in basketball, helping them build confidence, learn teamwork, and experience the benefits of sports. His advocacy for this program has made it a vital part of the community, allowing children with special needs to gain life skills through participation in organized sports.

Outside of his charitable endeavors, he enjoys attending live music events, where he can connect with others and experience the joy that music brings. However, his greatest priority remains his family, who have supported him throughout his career. Eric Kleiner continues to inspire others with his dedication to community service, philanthropy, and family, and he remains committed to making a lasting impact on the lives of those around him.

Chris Elmore

Chris Elmore

Instead of a traditional bio, I asked ChatGPT: "If I were a font, which one would I be?"

The response?

Chris, you’d be Bebas Neue—a bold, confident, slightly unconventional font that still maintains clarity and professionalism. It represents your entrepreneurial mindset, rock-and-roll edge, deep faith, and your ability to balance fun with strategic leadership.
That sums me up well. I don’t fit neatly into a box—I’m an entrepreneur, a musician, a writer, and a teacher. But at my core, I help people innovate, sell, and grow by blending real-world experience with a practical, no-nonsense approach.

Why Hire Me?

Some speakers build their careers by talking about… their speaking careers.
I’m different.

Everything I share comes from real experience—hard-earned lessons from building businesses, making thousands of sales calls, and leading high-growth teams. When I get on stage, I don’t deliver theories. I deliver what works—because I’ve lived it.

Two Numbers That Changed My Life

1. 5,000 Cold Calls
Fresh out of college, I had no marketable skills. My degree in History and Museum Studies wasn’t exactly in high demand. My newlywed wife and I needed to eat, so I decided: I was going to learn how to sell.I took a job selling life insurance. I was terrible. My first-year earnings: $2,163.72. (Yes, I counted the decimals.) I knew I had to do something different, so I focused on mastering cold calling—because most people hated it, which made it valuable. After bouncing between six companies in five years, I finally committed. I took a job at a startup—just me and two other guys working in a bonus room. That year, I made 5,000 cold calls.

2. 9,000 Pitches
Over the years, I’ve pitched AP automation technology 9,000 times. Not because I have a special gift—because I’ve done it repeatedly. Of those 9,000 pitches, 1,200 turned into business. The other 7,800? Most people would call them failures. I call them education.
Here’s my definition of failure: Failure is making the same stupid mistake twice.
