Dr. Julia Grosse is the founder of The Cyclical CEO™, where she helps high-performing women and business teams achieve sustainable growth by syncing strategy with biology. With a background in biology and years of field research—including leadership experience during the largest polar science mission of our time, the MOSAiC Arctic Expedition—Julia bridges performance science, female leadership, and business systems.

Her career began as a scientist, but burnout and firsthand leadership experience in extreme environments revealed a missing piece: productivity and decision-making don’t operate on a 24-hour schedule, especially for women. This insight led her to pioneer rhythm-based business frameworks that combine hormonal intelligence, cognitive science, and modern productivity models.

Through her signature programs—like the Business Rhythm Blueprint and the S.C.A.L.E. Method—Julia has equipped leaders, entrepreneurs, and HR professionals across Europe to harness their natural cycles for better focus, communication, and wellbeing. Her work has been featured in New Me Event Series, Leaders Perception Magazine, and the Womanship “Behind the Bio” podcast.

Julia’s practical, evidence-based approach activates audiences: her sessions don’t just inform—they inspire action and lasting results. Whether you’re scaling a business, building resilient teams, or seeking new models for sustainable performance, Julia brings a fresh science-backed perspective that redefines leadership for the future of work.

I solve the $2M problems that happen when brilliant technology meets confused humans.

Over the past decade, I've built AI platforms that generate $5M ARR, transformed failing products into 340% growth stories, and led 50,000+ user migrations with zero downtime. But here's what I've really learned: the biggest technology challenges aren't technical at all. They're psychological.

With my Master's in Social Data Science from Oxford, I've spent my career at the intersection where human behavior meets enterprise technology. I've worked across healthcare, finance, and global consulting at Accenture, consistently discovering that the same patterns emerge everywhere: smart people make predictable, irrational decisions about technology adoption.
I'm the product leader who gets called in when expensive AI implementations sit unused, when teams resist change despite obvious benefits, or when leadership needs someone who can translate between C-suite vision and developer reality. My "human first AI" framework is now adopted by 3 Fortune 500 companies because it works with human psychology rather than against it.
My superpower is turning complex technological chaos into revenue generating clarity. I've reduced patient wait times from 48 hours to 4 hours, cut compliance review time by 87%, and helped teams embrace AI tools they initially feared. I understand both the technical possibilities (Python, TensorFlow, cloud architecture) and the human realities (cognitive bias, change resistance, team dynamics) of making technology actually work.

Whether I'm speaking about AI manipulation psychology, the neuroscience of developer attention, or why brilliant teams make terrible technology decisions, I bring data driven insights combined with real world war stories from the trenches of enterprise transformation.
I
believe the future belongs to leaders who understand that every technology problem is fundamentally a people problem. And people problems are endlessly fascinating to solve.

I’m a strategist and systems thinker who helps organizations rethink how they build and live with technology, bridging the gap between innovation and execution with clarity, purpose, and just enough rebellion. My work focuses less on tools and more on how people and organizations think, especially as AI reshapes how work gets done.

I’ve led digital transformation and AI initiatives across government, healthcare, education, and enterprise environments, often in moments of ambiguity, constraint, and rapid change. I specialize in untangling complexity, surfacing hidden assumptions, and helping organizations design systems that can adapt, rather than break, the moment priorities shift.

In my talks, I blend systems strategy, organizational insight, and storytelling to challenge how we define “future-ready” technology. Because the real challenge with AI isn’t capability, it’s whether the systems we build can move with change, and whether humans are still allowed room for judgment, context, and evolution inside them.

Hi there, my name is Katharina Covadonga Clören.
I discovered my passion for data analysis and reporting during my studies – quite unexpectedly, in a student job. That’s when I realized how much I enjoy analyzing complex patterns and bringing them to life through creative visuals. For me, data visualization is the perfect blend of analytical detective and creative artist: I love uncovering hidden insights and presenting them in a way that’s clear, engaging, and impactful.

For the past three years, I’ve been working as a consultant with a focus on Data Analytics and Data Storytelling. What fascinates me most is the incredible potential and variety that lies in good visualizations. Before starting my consulting career, I spent a year traveling around the world – driven by curiosity, a love for adventure, and an open mind for people, cultures, and new perspectives. That same openness shapes the way I work today: Data is everywhere, and it always tells a story – you just have to listen (and look) closely.

When I’m not building reports or analyzing data, you’ll find me moving (like yoga, bouldering or lifting heavy stuff), enjoying food from around the world, or exploring the planet.

Per Jacob Solli is the founder, president, and CEO of Kokoon Global Inc., which offers ultra-luxury healthcare and wellness. Born in Brønnøysund, Norway, and now residing in Florida, he has spent over thirty years building businesses, training top-level athletes, and setting a standard for leadership through action.

Kokoon began as a vision in 2007. What started as an idea gradually became a reality that far exceeded expectations. Drawing on decades of experience in diverse industries, Jacob transformed Kokoon into a multi-million-dollar company delivering elite-level wellness and medical services that focus on producing tangible results.
His entry into health innovation was driven by personal struggle. In 2000, he was violently attacked with an iron bar, which led to more than a dozen surgeries over the years, the most recent in 2022. When traditional medical treatments failed to cure the following infection, he turned to what he knew best—discipline, sports science, and trusted experts. Training six days a week, he rebuilt his physical strength from the ground up. In 2006–2007, he applied alternative methods to help extend his mother’s life by over 15 years. That experience convinced him there was a better way to care for people, and that conviction became the foundation of Kokoon.

Before founding the company, he spent years coaching high-performance soccer across Europe. Working with elite athletes taught him discipline, focus, and adaptability—qualities central to his leadership style today. Managing different personalities, making decisions under pressure, and uniting teams toward shared goals while meeting individual needs became part of his natural approach to leadership.

Under his guidance, Kokoon Global Inc. is a healthcare provider and a movement. The company is debt-free, cash-rich, and owns 100% of its assets, with no lenders involved. Its mission is clear: bring dignity and results to healthcare. Kokoon’s model blends traditional and advanced medicine with wellness-focused services, delivered by a carefully selected team of experts. Among them are industry veterans in their 70s and 80s, whose decades of experience offer unmatched insight.

Adaptability is one of Jacob’s defining strengths. He has worked closely with some of the world’s leading physicians and industrial advisors for nearly two decades to push Kokoon forward. During the COVID-19 lockdowns in Spain, when most businesses halted operations and uncertainty loomed, he chose a different path—opening new operations and turning risk into opportunity. This ability to pivot has kept Kokoon ahead of the curve.

Trust and integrity are at the core of his leadership. Investors know him as a hands-on, direct leader unafraid of difficult conversations. He has built a close-knit management team that is entirely mission-driven, ensuring that every decision aligns with Kokoon’s broader goals. Over the years, he has faced strong resistance from an industry often slow to change, including smear campaigns, online harassment, and two serious takeover attempts. None succeeded. Supported by his family, legal advisors, and business allies, he used these challenges to strengthen Kokoon’s independence and resilience.

Family is central to Per Jacob’s life. He is the father of two adult children, a daughter and a son in their early 30s, whom he considers his most outstanding achievements. Kokoon is part of the legacy he is building for them. Despite a demanding travel schedule between Norway and the United States, he remains focused on creating a better world for his children and the families Kokoon serves.

Kokoon’s growth is ongoing and ambitious. In May 2025, the company began constructing a primary clinic in the Canary Islands with 23 surgical rooms, setting the stage for larger projects. This development will help finance and accelerate the Miami Medical Resort, an innovative model that combines luxury living with advanced medical care. Plans also include establishing satellite centers in every U.S. and pursuing dual stock exchange listings in Norway and the United States.

What makes Kokoon unique among fast-growing companies is its dedication to staying mission-focused, avoiding corruption or compromise, and operating strictly within cash flow limits. This financial discipline keeps the company agile and centered on delivering value to its investors while maintaining its core purpose.

Per Jacob Solli is at the heart of Kokoon’s continued success. His background in coaching, entrepreneurship, and health science has given him a clear understanding of the fundamental challenges people face. From humble beginnings to building a global healthcare enterprise, he has committed to putting people first, delivering results, and preserving ethical standards. His vision is to create a successful business and a lasting impact—a healthcare model that upholds dignity, achieves measurable outcomes, and serves as a legacy for future generations.
