As a Global Co-Creation Director working at the intersection of technology and human transformation at Version 1, Cleo architects how organisations develop the skills, leadership, and adaptive capacity to navigate constant change and harness technology as a force for real innovation. She does not deliver programmes. She builds change-capable, values-led organisations where leaders navigate ambiguity with confidence, teams co-create responsibly with AI, and continuous learning becomes a strategic habit rather than an HR initiative.

Cleo led the design of a reimagined change framework developed at Version 1 to support AI adoption across private and public sector organisations, grounded in real implementation evidence and built from the front lines of change.

Grounded in 18 years of senior leadership across global L&D and organisational development, and holding postgraduate qualifications in Organisational Development and Transformation, Organisational Behaviour, Executive Coaching, and Business Psychology, Cleo brings a distinctive lens to AI transformation: one shaped by behavioural science, NLP, executive coaching, workplace resilience, and a firm belief that technology only creates value when people are genuinely ready to use it well.

Her track record includes designing Level 9 certified future skills programmes, securing Enterprise Ireland funding for skills innovation, and leading Version 1's enterprise-wide AI adoption programme. She has spoken at the Irish Hotels Federation, Tech Summit, Learnovation at Trinity College Dublin, and EMCC Ireland, consistently helping senior audiences move from anxiety to agency.

A Chartered Fellow of the CIPD, EMCC Senior Practitioner, NLP Practitioner, and Master Practitioner in Workplace Resilience and Wellbeing, Cleo works with leaders and transformation teams across the public and private sectors on human-led adoption of AI.

Her conviction: real transformation happens at the intersection of strategy, culture, and co-creation. And it only sticks when you bring your people with them.

Dr. Mark Porter is the founder of Soteria Alliance and the architect of its governing doctrine, Performance Mastery Culture (PMC). His work is grounded in sustained exposure to organizations where excellence was expected to hold under pressure, endure leadership change, and remain reliable over time. His Best-selling book: The Architecture of Excellence: Engineering Excellence that Endures Under Pressure outlines the foundations of Performance Mastery Culture (PMC):
• Systems thinking: identify why current efforts fail at the root level
• Behavioral science: understand how people think and respond under pressure
• Structure: clarify roles, accountability, and decision ownership
• Anti-Drift doctrine: recognize the inevitability of performance decay
• Architecture: governing laws that organize structure into coherent performance
• Design: embed architecture into daily behaviors that sustain excellence

Across more than two decades, Mark has operated inside large, complex organizations with direct responsibility for the enterprise conditions under which excellence either persisted or decayed. His experience spans executive leadership, system-wide organizational responsibility, and post-acquisition integration in environments defined by regulatory scrutiny, operational interdependence, and real consequence.

Repeated exposure to these conditions revealed a consistent failure pattern. Capable leaders intervened more frequently, carried increasing load, and applied greater effort as excellence became less reliable. Intent, experience, and commitment were present. What failed was the architecture’s ability to preserve excellence once conditions changed.

Performance Mastery Culture emerged as the architectural response to that reality. It exists to govern excellence as a permanent institutional condition, independent of individual leaders, episodic initiatives, or cultural reinforcement.

Mark holds a Doctor of Business Administration in Leadership and a Master of Science in Organizational Psychology. His academic grounding informs his work, but it is the sustained responsibility of operating inside consequence-bearing systems that ultimately shaped the architecture now embedded within Soteria Alliance.

His work spans North America and Europe and is confined to environments where authority, accountability, and institutional continuity cannot be delegated or diluted.

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.

Tim Huff is a decorated combat veteran, certified executive coach, and award-winning CEO recognized for servant leadership and character. A graduate of the U.S. Army’s Ranger School, Tim served 14 years as an Infantry Officer, culminating in a year-long deployment to Afghanistan with the US Army National Guard as Chief of Operations for a brigade responsible for training and sustaining the Afghan National Army. For his leadership in combat, he was awarded the Bronze Star Medal.

After active military service, Tim made what he calls his ‘most extreme transition’… from command of over a dozen tanks and leading 100 troops, and a few months later, to a cubicle at The Walt Disney Company, managing spreadsheets. That moment reinforced in him that genuine leadership isn’t tied to uniforms, titles, or settings. It’s about character: the one constant that endures when pressure mounts. He later advanced in technology leadership roles with Macy’s, CRH Americas, and Owens & Minor, but his life took another defining turn in 2017 when he became the client of an executive coach. The experience gave him a profound sense of leadership freedom and clarity and set him on a new mission: to help leaders everywhere discover the same success based in character.

Today, Tim is the President of Turknett Leadership Group, a 38-year-old Atlanta-based firm trusted by Fortune 500 companies and global organizations. He is a Titan 100 honoree and recipient of the Servant Leader of the Year Award, recognized for his commitment to building leaders who live and lead with integrity, respect, and responsibility. In 2024, he extended that commitment in the most personal way, by donating a kidney to help save the life of a colleague.

Tim’s message is clear: skills can be taught, strategies can shift, but character is the bedrock of leadership. Whether on the battlefield, in the boardroom, or at the side of someone in need, it’s character that inspires trust, courage, and authentic leadership.

He lives in Cumming, Georgia with his wife, Kristin, and enjoys hiking in the North Georgia mountains where he finds both rest and renewal for his life of service!

Dr. Sonya Andrew is a public administration scholar, researcher, and speaker whose work sits at a critical and largely unexplored intersection: how media shapes and distorts the delivery of public policy, particularly for Black and marginalized communities.

Drawing on her doctoral dissertation at the University of Southern California, Dr. Andrew makes the case that public policy has a media problem — and the field has been slow to recognize it. Her research traces how media narratives have historically undermined equitable policy implementation, from Jim Crow-era rhetoric to present-day communications failures in government institutions.

Her presentations challenge practitioners, academics, and policymakers to confront two urgent realities: the field needs rigorous research into how media influence public policy outcomes, and public agencies must build their own independent, well-resourced media arms if they want their work to reach and serve the people who need it most.

Dr. Andrew has delivered paid presentations for institutions, including California State University, Long Beach. She brings a rare combination of scholarly rigor, lived perspective, and actionable insight, making her a compelling voice for conferences, academic programs, government agencies, and policy organizations.

From engineering floors to global boardrooms, Srishti has built trust across languages and time zones.
Surrounded by gears and doubts, she learned that impact creates space for belonging.

Lessons have followed her through four continents—designing EV parts in the U.S., leading cross-cultural teams in Europe, and managing a $120M manufacturing project at Northvolt.

There, in a melting pot of languages, cultures and metric systems, she saw the real challenge: it wasn’t strategy, budget or deadlines.

It was trust.

So she flipped her leadership style: informal tech huddles replaced rigid meetings, rituals replaced policies, and engineers started celebrating together instead of competing in silence.

The result? Engagement soared. Silos cracked. Delays dropped.

Today, Srishti brings those same tools to stages and boardrooms, helping leaders everywhere build teams that don’t just work together, but thrive together.

Her talks blend engineering clarity with cultural empathy, packed with real-world strategies you can use next week, not next quarter.

I spent several years working in large companies in different areas (business development, marketing, sourcing, organization, digital innovation) measuring myself in different fields, from software simulation and validation, to strategic sourcing and finally to organizational methodologies. In these experiences I was able to put into practice what I learned in my studies and learn new things using my ability to see and my propensity to think out of the box.

Michael Bower is a 30+ year broadcasting and podcast veteran who has hosted national shows on Sirius Satellite Radio, delivered daily reports as a National Correspondent for NBC News Radio, and produced more than 1,000 podcasts across genres. As a former VP of Programming for Ingstad Minnesota Radio Network, he led talent development, coached on-air hosts, and even tested early AI “on-air personalities” — discovering why authenticity always beats automation.

Today, Michael brings that experience to the stage with talks that blend broadcast discipline, podcast innovation, and humor from his years in stand-up comedy. His signature sessions — Craft Over Clout, Process Over Perfection, and The AI DJ Problem — help creators cut through the noise, build loyal audiences, and reclaim quality in an algorithm-driven era.

Michael’s approach is simple but powerful: respect your listener’s time, earn their trust, and give them something they’ll come back for.
