Peggy Haymes

Peggy Haymes

Being personally invited by the staff of grief pioneer Elisabeth Kubler-Ross to train with them and work with them in grief workshops. Working as a licensed therapist for over twenty years helping clients heal old wounds, navigate present stresses, and create new lives. Serving as a minister for over forty years, sitting by hospital bedsides or leading retreat groups. Talking over a cup of coffee as a business coach, helping leaders work more efficiently and authentically.

All of my different experiences have the same theme: being with people in those places and in those moments that matter. Those moments when everything has been turned upside down and you don’t know the next step to take or those moments when you realize that everything in your life is too much the same and that doesn’t work for you anymore.

These conversations have always fueled my work. Now I’m sharing that work with a wider audience through keynote speeches, seminars, and retreats, offering insights, inspiration, and tools.

Talking about things that matter can be challenging, reassuring (“You mean it’s not just me?”), surprising, funny, and joyful.

I’m here for all of it.

A licensed psychotherapist and Certified Mental Performance Consultant, Kim has spent a decade working inside elite sport systems including the WNBA and NCAA athletics - where performance is immediate, visible, and measured under constant pressure - what works (and what doesn’t) is impossible to ignore.

Now, Kim brings those lessons and clarity into other high-performance environments, translating them into practical ways business leaders can think sharper, make better decisions, and sustain their edge over years and decades, not just weeks and months.

Known for her witty, engaging style and ability to turn complex performance science into practical application, Kim equips leaders and teams with the clarity needed to perform at their best - and stay there.

Pranav Gujarathi

Pranav Gujarathi

I'm a Generative AI & ML Engineer based in Austin, TX — and I genuinely believe we're living through the most exciting moment in the history of computing. I've spent the last 8+ years turning that belief into production systems that actually move needles.
Right now, I work as a **Senior AI Engineer at [Twin Health](https://www.twinhealth.com/)**, where I architect multi-agent AI platforms for personalized digital health. The work hits close to home in the most literal sense: the AI systems I build — ones that ingest real-time wearable data, interpret lab results, and deliver hyper-personalized diet and nutrition guidance — have contributed to a **37% Type 2 diabetes reversal rate** across our patient population. That's not a dashboard metric. That's people reclaiming their health.
Before Twin Health, I spent over a year at **Cigna Health** building Generative AI into the Prior Authorization process — a notoriously slow, paper-heavy corner of healthcare that desperately needed agentic intelligence. And before that, I spent two years at **Walmart Global Tech**, where I built a voice/text-driven AI tool that saved **130,000 associate work hours every single week**, and a RAG-based system that cut attribute-extraction costs by **80%** with **24× faster turnaround**. Large-scale impact is something I've come to expect from this work.

My path here wasn't strictly linear. I started as an Electrical Engineering undergraduate at **IIT Roorkee**, pivoted into data science at **Indiana University – Bloomington** (where I earned a Master's and the Luddy Outstanding Research Award), and along the way published research at **NeurIPS** (Best Paper) and **ACM COMPASS**. More recently, I completed an **MBA in Entrepreneurship** from University of the Cumberlands — because building great AI isn't just an engineering challenge, it's a product and people challenge too.
