Rafael Tizzani

En sus inicios lideró la guerra de las colas de los 90, reposicionando en el liderazgo a la hasta entonces desaparecida Pepsi. Este logro fue resultado de aplicar creatividad y esfuerzos comerciales que revolucionaron las técnicas de promoción y venta en nuestro país.

Luego impulsó los cambios en Bieckert, tomando más de 20 puntos de participación del líder del mercado. En esta ocasión la segmentación y los cambios en la distribución fueron las claves para lograr el éxito.

Cerrando el ciclo de bebidas recaló en IVESS dónde la necesidad era “un cambio total”, pasar de una cultura de reparto y monoproducto a una de venta profesional multiproducto, logrando vencer las barreras del cambio que colocan las personas cuando están en un negocio rentable con una marca líder.

El siguiente paso fue desarrollar planes comerciales innovadores en Arcor directamente desde el área de RRHH comercial, la función era desarrollar la máxima potencialidad a través de planes de seguimiento que involucraban la capacitación y mejora continua...

El punto en común de esta primera etapa era enseñar a las compañías de consumo masivo a brindar servicio y potenciar los procesos de calidad. En la segunda la misión fue despertar a las empresas de servicios hacia la necesidad del consumo masivo, adaptación al cambio y creatividad.

Así fueron Hartford Life, Liberty, BNL, Lloyds Bank, Banco Galicia, AFJP Prorenta y Citibank, los primeros beneficiados a través de los servicios de consultoría y capacitación.

Han pasado más de veinte años y con servicios de excelencia acompañó importantes emprendimientos de capacitación a empresas como: Sancor Seguros, Neoris, Automóvil Club, AGFA, Telecom, Calsa, AUDI, Carrefour, VW, Philis Morris, DHL, YPF, Exxon Mobil, Du Pont Pionner, John Deere, Manpower, Fibertel, Toyota, Peugeot, Novartis, Unilever, Accenture, ACARA, Energía San Juan, Shell, San Cristóbal y muchas más.

También trabaja con empresas en el exterior y acreditó experiencia como profesor de la UBA y USAL en Negociación, Ventas, Liderazgo, Coaching y Creatividad.

Sono un papà bis, da decenni nel mondo del software con una passione per la mente e per questo mi sono laureato in Psicologia. Negli ultimi anni, parallelamente al mio lavoro tra architetture software e engineering management in scaleup e realtà internazionali, mi sono dedicato alla ricerca e alla divulgazione all'intersezione tra scienze cognitive e ingegneria del software, con The Mental Stack su Medium. Sono convinto che le persone restino il motore reale di qualsiasi organizzazione che voglia costruire prodotti che durano e che capire come funziona la mente sia oggi più urgente che mai, in un settore che sta cambiando più velocemente della nostra capacità di adattarci.

Barno Kaharova

Barno Kaharova

Barno is a consultant and researcher specializing in AI security, data engineering, and machine learning security.

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.

Fernanda Arias

Fernanda Arias

I work at an unusual intersection: psychology applied to AI-powered operations design. I studied how the human mind thinks, decides and burns out before I learned to automate it. Today I do both at the same time and it turns out to be the most useful combination I've had in my career.

As Head of Operations at Dojo Coding, LATAM's developer learning and community platform, I designed the company's internal operating system: the processes, metrics and AI agents that hold up a bootstrapped startup running on a small team with a whole region to serve.
In parallel, I'm co-founder & COO of Blockchain Jungle, the tech summit I built from scratch in Costa Rica — three editions, 7,000+ attendees, a better-connected region.

My thesis: operations problems are almost never technical. They're human problems dressed up as docs, spreadsheets or "the workflow doesn't scale." Psychology taught me how to read them. AI gave me what to fix them with. That's what I do: design ops from psychology and AI, not from the management playbook.

I speak from the trenches, not from theory. If your event touches that, reach out.

Stephane Beilles

Stephane Beilles

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.

Nita Chakrabarty

Nita Chakrabarty

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.

Emotional Intelligence for Founders & Engineers
