Barno is a consultant and researcher specializing in AI security, data engineering, and machine learning security. She works at the intersection of offensive and defensive AI security & developing methodologies to protect AI systems from adversarial threats across the full stack, from data pipelines and ML models to LLM-powered applications and autonomous agents. Additionally in her role as an AI security trainer Barno has designed and delivered hands-on training programs covering AI red teaming, prompt injection, adversarial ML, RAG and vector database security, and the OWASP Top 10 for LLM and Agentic AI.

She is actively involved in AI governance and evaluation efforts at the national level and regularly contributes to the AI security community through speaking engagements, publications, and conference submissions. She bridges the gap between rapid AI adoption and the critical need for robust, field-tested defenses in an evolving threat landscape.

Je porte la conviction que l’être humain est naturellement enclin au travail bien fait, à la coopération et à la croissance — à condition d’évoluer dans un environnement qui nourrit son propre écosystème autant que celui qui l’entoure, qu’il soit social ou environnemental.
Je défends l’idée que l’humain ne doit jamais être une variable d’ajustement dans nos organisations, mais un véritable moteur de développement. Chaque collaborateur mérite d’être considéré comme un être en devenir, et non comme un simple rouage productif.

Docteur en cristallographie, j’ai construit mon parcours au sein de grands groupes pharmaceutiques, où j’ai contribué au développement scientifique et organisationnel en tant que manager d’équipe puis Transformation Leader.
J’ai accompagné de nombreuses équipes dans leur transition vers des pratiques managériales plus inclusives, délégatives et vertueuses.

Chez Sanofi, j’ai animé pendant plusieurs années le Management Lab, un espace d’exploration et d’apprentissage dédié aux pratiques managériales innovantes, notamment au travers d’ateliers immersifs. J’y ai également fondé la ludothèque interne, aujourd’hui riche de plus de 400 jeux d’édition.

Pour approfondir ma compréhension de l’humain et des dynamiques collectives, j’ai suivi une formation exigeante de 18 mois (JBS Lyon – Coach&Team) en coaching individuel, d’équipe et d’organisation, intégrant la sociologie, la psychologie humaniste et l’analyse transactionnelle. Je suis par ailleurs accrédité aux outils psychométriques MBTI et Process Com.

Co‑créateur du jeu professionnel Les Aventuriers de la Draille®, Facilitateur Chaos Fertile® et Ambassadeur Burni Bornes®, je conçois également des jeux d’édition sur mon temps personnel.

Enfin, je pratique l’Aïkido depuis l’âge de 6 ans et la méditation de pleine conscience depuis dix ans, deux disciplines qui nourrissent profondément ma vision du leadership, du jeu et de la relation à soi et à l’autre.

Dr. Sanne Ziethen ist Kultur- und Geschichtswissenschaftlerin sowie Hochschuldidaktikerin mit Schwerpunkt auf partizipativer Lehrentwicklung, Transfer von Lehrinnovationen und digital gestützter Hochschullehre. Nach dem Studium der Kulturwissenschaften und Ästhetischen Praxis an der Universität Hildesheim und der Promotion in Kultur- und Geschichtswissenschaften war sie zunächst im Projektmanagement tätig, bevor sie in Lehre und Hochschulentwicklung zurückkehrte. Am Institut für Geschichte der Universität Hildesheim konzipierte und erprobte sie zahlreiche innovative Lehr-/Lernformate und wurde dafür mit dem Preis für hervorragende Lehre 2020/2021 der Universität Hildesheim ausgezeichnet.
Eine zentrale Linie ihrer Arbeit ist die systematische Verankerung von Lehrinnovationen in Organisationen („Transfer“): Im Projekt Digital C@MPUS-le@rning (2021-2025) verantwortete sie Transferstrategien, didaktische Beratung und Support, OER-Entwicklung sowie Kommunikations- und Vernetzungsaktivitäten. Sie initiierte das partizipative Format le@rningLOTSEN, in dem qualifizierte Studierende als hochschuldidaktische Multiplikator*innen Lehrende beraten und erfolgreiche Lehr-/Lernformate in die Breite der Universität tragen. Im Projekt "aLaZukunft" (Agile Lehrarchitektur für Zukunftsthemen) verantwortet sie Curriculums- und Studiengangsentwicklung und Transfer.
Didaktisch verbindet sie kultur- und bildungswissenschaftliche Perspektiven mit Ansätzen des transformativen Lernens, der Kompetenzorientierung und der partizipativen Curriculum- und Lehrentwicklung. Ihre Weiterqualifikation als eTrainerin, eLearning-Beraterin und eTutorin (FernUniversität in Hagen) fundiert ihre Arbeit an digitalen und hybriden Lehr-/Lernsettings sowie offenen Bildungsressourcen (OER).
Dr. Ziethen engagiert sich überinstitutionell u. a. im Hochschulforum Digitalisierung (HFD), in Weiterqualifikationsprogrammen der Stiftung Innovation in der Hochschullehre sowie in der Deutschen Gesellschaft für Hochschuldidaktik (DGHD; AG Transfer; AG Transformatives Lernen und Nachhaltigkeit).

Why This Speaker Belongs at Technical Conferences
Most technical conferences focus on systems, infrastructure, and performance — yet few address the human operating system behind the work.
Founders, engineers, and startup leaders operate under relentless pressure while managing stress, emotional suppression, communication breakdowns, and high-stakes decisions. Scaling a company requires more than technical intelligence. It requires nervous system resilience, emotional regulation, and the ability to lead and relate to other humans effectively.
As a former tech consultant turned matchmaking, dating, and relationship coach, I work with high-performing men — founders, CEOs, developers, and executives — to strengthen the internal systems behind sustainable success and fulfillment. My work blends behavioral psychology, neuroscience, nervous system regulation, and modern relationship strategy to help leaders improve clarity, communication, and emotional intelligence without burning out or sacrificing what matters most.
In an era where AI is accelerating everything externally, my talks address the one thing technology cannot optimize: the human capacity for connection.

Nita Chakrabarty is a matchmaking, dating, and relationship coach for high-performing and successful men, and the founder of MAGNETIC — the world's most intelligent matchmaking and relationship platform for ambitious men.
She is known for blending behavioral psychology, nervous system regulation, and modern relationship dynamics to help high-achieving leaders build emotional intelligence, meaningful partnerships, and long-term fulfillment — in both life and love.
MAGNETIC is a venture-backed startup supported by Audos, an entrepreneur platform backed by investors and founders behind Skype, BarkBox, Ro, and Oscar Health.
With a background in executive consulting and over a decade of experience in somatic therapy, breathwork, and trauma-informed coaching, Nita bridges modern leadership with neuroscience and relational intelligence. Her clients include founders, CEOs, developers, and executives seeking greater clarity, resilience, and emotional depth.
She speaks internationally on emotional intelligence, modern masculinity, nervous system regulation, conscious relationships, and the future of human connection in an increasingly technological world.
