With a background spanning marketing, business, and organizational psychology, I have spent more than ten years helping multinational organizations navigate digital transformation, operational complexity, and organizational change.

My work focuses on the architecture of human systems and the conditions that determine whether technology translates into business value.

As Founder, CEO, and Strategic Advisor at Belltrix, I help leaders uncover the organizational dynamics that shape decisions, incentives, collaboration, and ultimately the success or failure of transformation initiatives.

I believe that when numbers fail to explain what is happening, the problem is rarely the data itself. More often, it is the system that produces it.

Kristin Ottlinger holds a degree in Cultural Studies and Political Science. She is the co-founder and CEO of Fuchs Devils Wild and a winner of the 2021 New Work Award.

For around 15 years, she has advised renowned national and international clients across a wide range of industries, from start-ups to DAX-listed corporations, on New Work, digitalisation and transformation.

Her foundation: Clarity. Resolve. Execution.
Her focus: the future of work in the age of AI.

Kristin Ottlinger takes a holistic approach to supporting organisations through transformation. Her work spans team development, the design of new structures and processes, and focused strategic counsel for executives and leadership teams.

A particular focus of her work is how leadership, organisations and AI need to work together in the future. She supports companies in the strategic adoption of AI, ensuring that technology and people do not simply coexist but, at their best, become a “perfect match”. Because new technology alone does not transform an organisation. And even the best concept has little value if it fails to deliver impact in day-to-day business.

Her work is therefore defined by a clear view of what lies ahead. Her conviction: change is not always comfortable. But it can be shaped. Provided organisations are prepared not only to talk about the future, but to turn it into action with consistency.

Alongside her consulting work, Kristin Ottlinger shares her extensive experience as a lecturer in New Work, leadership, communication and digital transformation at universities and educational institutions.

She is also a regular interview guest and speaker at events across Germany.

Speaker | Clarity & Decision-Making | Leadership & Organizational Dynamics

Amanda Hoffmann works at the intersection of decision-making, identity, and group dynamics—helping leaders and organizations see where certainty, assumptions, and “best practices” quietly distort how they think.

Her work introduces a different approach:

Why clarity—not confidence—is the foundation of good decisions

How high-performing leaders operate in misalignment without realizing it

What happens when teams confuse alignment with agreement

Why many goals are inherited, not chosen—and how that impacts performance

With 20+ years advising leaders across industries, Amanda blends systems thinking, behavioral insight, and real-world leadership experience to make complex ideas immediately usable.

She is the creator of:

The Core Alignment Model (CAM)

The Clarity System (clarity → agency → results)

And concepts such as the Borrowed Self Epidemic, and Judgment Jurisdiction

Her sessions are known for being:

Provocative without being performative

Intellectually rigorous, but accessible

Practical without relying on generic “best practices”

Audiences leave with something rare:
Not just answers—but better questions, clearer thinking, and the ability to make decisions with real intention.

Harender Bisht, PhD, is a Technical Architect and Lead Developer with more than 10 years of experience designing and delivering enterprise technology solutions across insurance, reinsurance, finance, regulatory reporting, data engineering, and applied artificial intelligence. Based in New Jersey, he currently serves as a Lead Developer and Technical Architect at Crum & Forster, where he leads strategic initiatives involving IFRS 17, reinsurance modernization, financial automation, enterprise data architecture, intelligent reporting, and AI-enabled decision-support systems.

His work includes designing a company-wide IFRS 17 data and calculation framework that integrates claims, premiums, reinsurance, actuarial, and financial information with platforms such as Moody’s Analytics and OneStream. He has architected enterprise integrations for Sapiens Reinsurance, supported the modernization and retirement of legacy systems, and developed a hybrid cloud and on-premises job orchestration platform for centrally managing, monitoring, scheduling, and auditing enterprise batch operations.

Harender’s applied AI work focuses on building governed, secure, and explainable AI capabilities for enterprise environments. He has contributed to intelligent financial reporting solutions that combine retrieval-augmented generation, large language models, natural-language querying, semantic search, metadata-driven retrieval, and structured enterprise data pipelines. These solutions are designed to help business users explore financial and operational information, identify trends and variances, compare reporting periods, and generate evidence-based insights while maintaining traceability to authoritative data sources.

He has also designed microservices for OFAC sanctions screening using Azure Cognitive Search, fuzzy matching, weighted entity attributes, configurable decision thresholds, and auditable screening workflows. His broader AI architecture experience includes agentic workflows, intent classification, dynamic query planning, vector and keyword retrieval, prompt orchestration, model evaluation, human feedback, confidence assessment, observability, and responsible AI guardrails. He emphasizes the importance of grounding AI-generated responses in validated enterprise data, preserving lineage, controlling access, monitoring performance, and reducing hallucinations in high-stakes financial and regulatory applications.

His technical expertise includes Azure cloud architecture, enterprise AI architecture, microservices, .NET, C#, Python, SQL, data engineering, Snowflake, OneStream, Azure Cognitive Search, retrieval-augmented generation, large language models, LangChain, LangGraph, LangSmith, semantic search, and enterprise integration patterns. He works closely with finance, actuarial, compliance, operations, data, and technology leaders to ensure that technical and AI architectures align with business objectives, regulatory obligations, security standards, governance policies, and operational requirements.

Harender earned his PhD in Information Technology from the University of the Cumberlands, where his research examined the ethical implications of explainable artificial intelligence in insurance fraud detection. His research focused on how fairness, transparency, accountability, trust, interpretability, and auditability influence the adoption and use of AI-supported decisions in high-stakes insurance environments. His work bridges technical AI development with responsible AI governance and the practical needs of professionals who rely on algorithmic recommendations.

He also holds a master’s degree in Computer Applications from the University of Bridgeport and a bachelor’s degree in Computer Science from Amity University. His professional and academic work reflects a continued focus on developing scalable, trustworthy, and business-aligned AI systems that strengthen enterprise decision-making without compromising governance, transparency, or human oversight.
