Samantha Goldberg, MSW

Samantha Goldberg, MSW

What happens when a clinically trained social worker builds a multi-seven-figure business from the ground up, and then watches her entire team walk out the door? If you're Samantha Goldberg, you don't retreat. You rebuild. And then you take everything you learned about shame, failure, and what real leadership actually requires, and you bring it to every stage you can find.

Samantha Goldberg, MSW, is a clinically trained social worker, entrepreneur, executive coach, and keynote speaker who works at the intersection of shame resilience, leadership, and self-worth. Named a Woman of Steel by PNC Bank and the Pittsburgh Steelers, she's on a mission to help people show up boldly and lead intentionally--without shame, imposter syndrome, or fear of failure calling the shots.

Samantha is the Founder & CEO of a group mental health therapy practice and multidisciplinary wellness hub in Pittsburgh established in 2018, built around a staffing model centered on business mentorship and entrepreneurial support. She built her practice into a large multimillion dollar operation, navigated a significant organizational crisis, and rebuilt it with radical transparency--an experience that grounds every framework she teaches in real operational leadership, not just research. Through her executive coaching and speaking platform, Unleashed Impact, she helps leaders and high achievers break free from shame, imposter syndrome, and the confidence barriers holding them back. She also serves as a private practice business consultant, providing business coaching to group practice owners across the country.

With 15+ years in the field, Samantha brings rare clinical depth to the leadership conversation--delivering keynotes that are equal parts research-backed and disarmingly honest, turning complex psychological frameworks into tools that actually change how people lead. Samantha is known for her sharp wit, radical honesty, and an uncanny ability to make a room full of high-achievers feel deeply seen--and ready to move.

Off stage, she lives in Pittsburgh with her first responder partner, two dogs, and a cat who has never once struggled with self-worth.

Veronica started her forensic career in 2008. Veronica is also the Interim Programme Lead for Digital Forensics and Incident Response at Noroff University in Norway, where she replaced a warm climate with a more adventurous one. Veronica holds a Master in Science at Rhodes University in Information Security with a specialisation in the forensic analysis of malware. She is currently doing her PhD in cybersecurity at the University of Plymouth in the UK. Her PhD is about designing robust logs for medical devices. She prides herself on keeping patients safe, as this is something close to her heart (quite literally). She is also a cyborg, sporting an embedded medical device herself. She is also a DEF CON goon, and she is the founder of DC2751, and the OWASP Kristiansand project. She has a love for all things ransomware and understands the low level details forensically.

Her particular research interests include research into security vulnerabilities in medical devices forming part of the Internet of Things, and how these could be exploited by malicious attackers, as well as what types of forensic artefacts could be identified from any attacks. She believes that incident response should be something that is continuously done and improved on. She is extremely passionate about protecting people whose lives depend on these medical devices, and her passion led her to become a researcher within an MDM. She is also developing a digital forensics and incident response approach dealing specifically with implanted medical devices and medical devices installed within a healthcare setting. At her core, Veronica is a forensicator and hacker, in love with every bit, byte, and nibble of knowledge she has obtained. She has a strong belief that the o in logs stand for observability. Knowing what is a problem is half the battle won she believes.

Robin dos Santos Gomes

Robin dos Santos Gomes

I am a natural problem-solver and connector — a leader with a designer’s mindset: creative at the core, driven to help people, and strengthened by over 20 years of experience in digital design and strategy. As a Senior UX & CX Advisor for the Dutch government, I believe that digital services only succeed when users are truly at the center and when teams share responsibility for the outcome. My strength lies in bringing people and perspectives together—users, stakeholders, and teams—to translate deep insights into clear strategy and direction within complex organizations.

My passion for human-centered design and empathy is deeply rooted in my personal journey. For two decades, I have lived with diabetes. What felt like a heavy daily burden for years, I have successfully transformed into my ultimate strength: a profound resilience and a lived understanding of what users and patients truly need. Today, I use this strength to help others, including through my role on the Social Advisory Council of the Diabetes Fonds.

What drives me is inspiring others and creating a shared course. Leadership is about giving space for people to grow, for teams to collaborate, and for ideas to become reality. I am deeply inspired by the words of Nelson Mandela: “The greatest glory in living lies not in never falling, but in rising every time we fall.” I carry that exact resilience into my work and my life — to persevere, learn, and build meaningful digital services together.
