When meeting professionals want a stress-free event, Sharon Weinstein is the answer!

In a world where workplace pressure is rising and employee expectations are shifting rapidly, organizations need more than inspiration — they need transformation. Meet the “Stressbuster,” TEDx Speaker, Lifetime Achievement Award winner, trailblazer, and an undeniably unstoppable force in the world of human performance and well-being...Sharon M. Weinstein.

Sharon guides individuals and teams through the pressures of a fast-paced, ever-evolving world, helping them navigate stress, overcome fear, and thrive both personally and professionally. Her journey began inside a box – with limits, doubt, and fear – the epitome of stress. She knows the questions that hold us back:
What if I fail?
What will others think?
Who am I to even try?

Fear wasn’t the enemy – it was a signal that she was on the brink of something bigger. By learning to think differently, Sharon moved from surviving to serving, from invisible to unstoppable, and ultimately created a life she designed on her terms. Today, she empowers others to do the same – break free from the box, reimagine possibilities, and step boldly from a stressful environment into transformation.

As a design thinker, innovator, and creator of Harmony by Design, Sharon delivers solutions that balance work, life, and leadership. With a global footprint spanning more than 50 countries and every U.S. state and Canadian province, she elevates connections, conversations, and cultures. Sharon helps teams navigate complexity with confidence, leaving a lasting impact on culture, engagement, and productivity. As an NSA-Certified Speaking Professional, Master Storyteller, and dynamic Keynote Speaker and Emcee, she captivates audiences with energy, humor, and authenticity – creating experiences that leave people inspired, engaged, and asking for more.

Sharon Weinstein delivers — every time.
More than an introduction—this is an invitation to connect, be inspired, and experience the journey from box to unstoppable alongside a leader who has turned courage and innovation into real-world impact.

Sharon empowers teams to achieve balance, cultivate well-being, unlock potential, and drive lasting change—all while embodying the transformation she inspires. Her body of work—from a global career in infusion therapy to international leadership—infuses health, reduces stress, and enhances the workforce in the healthcare, human resources, and hospitality spaces.

Back in the olden days, before that thing we call Y2K, I was a pilot, but then I accidentally became a programmer. And now I'm a data monkey. Nearly all of my career has been spent working in Background Screening, Healthcare, Insurance, Government or Military, where cybersecurity has played a fairly heavy role. I've learned quite a bit about quite a lot, and my interest has been piqued in more topics than I can ever hope to master.

On the current step of my adventure, I find myself on the path as a DBA for the U.S. Army.

And I'm still more curious than is probably good for me.

I'm a curious and driven student working at the intersection of computational science and scientific research to share my ideas with the world. A recent high school graduate from Nusrat Senior Secondary School with some BIG tech wins under my belt.

Currently, I’m a Data Science Intern at the Medical Research Council Unit The Gambia (MRCG), part of the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine, where I’m working on computer vision projects and sharpening my skills under the mentorship of experienced researchers and supervisors. Before this, I served as the Lead AI and Machine Learning Intern at Obentas Global Technology Company, where I worked on deepfake detection and ethical AI development.

My love for tech started early. I found myself asking big, sometimes existential questions about how computational methods can be used to solve everyday problems. This passion led me into the world of web development and machine learning, and I soon realized I could use these skills to build real-world solutions that matter.

While still in high school, I launched tech- and research-based initiatives to tackle local issues. One of my proudest moments was publishing a research paper titled Lowel AI: Using Machine Learning Algorithms and BLA Sensors to Detect Harmful Bacteria in Water—an AI-based solution to water safety challenges. I’m also the founder of StemBia, an initiative aimed at solving real challenges in The Gambia using AI, engineering, and computational science.

At Nusrat, I led the ICT Club as both President and lead instructor during the 2023/2024 academic year, mentoring peers and organizing tech events.

Outside of work and school, I run a YouTube channel called CBJtech, where I create content on programming, AI, and navigating tech as a student in Africa. It’s my small way of giving back and helping others grow in tech too.

When I’m not coding, working on a research project, or editing a tech video, I enjoy playing sports, spending time with family, or eating way too much chocolate. I currently reside in The Gambia.

When you follow the cables, behind every piece of tech is a person, consumer and creator, and we should never lose sight of this.

Lianne is an award-winning cyber anthropologist and security transformation leader with experience in the retail, healthcare, finance, private and non-profit sectors.

Driving Security Operations Maturity and Resilient Security Functions

I specialise in providing strategic and technical consultancy to help organisations build and evolve their security operation functions into mature, resilient, and forward-thinking teams. From guiding the establishment of new security functions to elevating existing ones, I partner with organisations to ensure their SecOps department is not just operational but transformational.

Previously, as Head of SecOps for Europe's largest greenfield technology transformation, I built a cutting-edge security team from scratch to safeguard a modern retail organisation. My leadership empowered the team to set new benchmarks in industry best practices through innovation and collaboration.

As an international keynote speaker for both technical and academic audiences, I share insights at the intersection of cybersecurity, technology, and anthropology. Drawing on my practical experience as a security-focused software developer and my continued work as a practicing anthropologist, I bring a unique perspective that combines deep technical expertise with a focus on human-centered design and cultural understanding.

Currently, I’m pursuing an MSc in AI and Data Science, deepening my understanding of emerging technologies and their societal implications. My work focuses on AI safety and alignment, striving to ensure AI systems respect human rights, promote equity, and are resilient against adversarial risks.

Committed to fostering diversity and inclusion in tech, I’ve advised community initiatives, authored publications, host award-winning podcasts, and earned accolades including Security Specialist of the Year, Security Leader of the Year and Cybersecurity Personality of the Year.

Beyond cybersecurity, I co-founded Liria Digital Health, a health-tech startup focused on improving outcomes for underrepresented health conditions within marginalised communities.

You can listen to me talk about my human-centric approach every Thursday on my award-winning technology podcast Compromising Positions, in which I interview non-cybersecurity people from the world of anthropology, psychology and behavioural science about cybersecurity culture.
