Collin Hogue-Spears is a Senior Director at Black Duck Software, where he leads FedRAMP authorization and global compliance work. He also leads product strategy for Context AI, Black Duck's vulnerability intelligence platform for AI coding assistants and cloud security ecosystems. He has more than 20 years in technology, including AWS GovCloud, where his team secured authorization for $3B in public-sector workloads.

His forthcoming book, From Lab to Life: How AI Works in China (Gatekeeper Press, Summer 2026), examines how China built the world's first governed AI ecosystem, where capability, compliance, and distribution became inseparable. Drawing on Chinese-language regulatory texts, company filings, and technical sources, the book explains how AI governance functions as market infrastructure rather than paperwork after the fact.

He writes and speaks on AI governance, software supply chain security, nation-state cyber operations, and the security risks created when autonomous systems gain enterprise access. He has been quoted in Politico, Dark Reading, CIO.com, and CSO Online. He works from Chinese-language primary sources and focuses on the intersection of regulation, security, and technology deployment.

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 .
