For me, it’s all about learning, growing, and making things better together. ✨🚀

Aga Skraburska is Head of Product Education at Nexthink, a Digital Employee Experience Management company, where she leads a suite of educational products that help users master the Nexthink platform. Over the past two years, she has led AI adoption on two fronts: inside her own team, from individual capability through to process redesign, and in the products themselves — rebuilding Nexthink's product education so that it is AI-driven and fits how people actually learn now.

For nearly two decades, she has held product and program roles at ABB, UBS, and a number of startups, building global learning, leadership, and transformation programs. That work taught her a consistent lesson: people don't change because an organization expects them to adapt. They change when they feel seen, supported, and appropriately challenged.

Trained in systems-psychodynamic approaches to learning and coaching, Aga works at the intersection of two things that rarely meet — organizational strategy and genuine human awareness. She speaks the language of systems, data, and leadership, and also the language of culture, motivation, and what people actually fear when their role starts to change. She coaches individuals and teams through exactly that shift.

Hi! I’m Nicolas, a developer with over 25 years of experience, now working as a freelance mobile app developer.

My journey has taken me from programming MS-DOS games to building electronic test systems for the oil industry, before transitioning to mobile development in 2017.

Everything changed during an eco-volunteering mission in French Polynesia, where I monitored sea turtles. This experience inspired *“We Spot Turtles!”*, a side project that has since become one of my main activities as a freelancer.

In 2022, an unexpected encounter with an Australian helped propel the project onto the international stage, eventually leading to it being featured by Google in a global campaign.

Today, I build this solution using Flutter, co-organize the Flutter Nantes meetup, and aim to expand the impact of this application dedicated to sea turtle conservation worldwide.

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.

Yackson Eustaquio Chaverra Mena is a Colombian prosecutor, legal scholar and researcher working at the intersection of criminal justice, artificial intelligence, digital evidence, cybercrime and institutional governance. He currently serves as a sectional prosecutor in Colombia, with professional experience in complex criminal investigations, public-sector crime and cases involving significant institutional and evidentiary challenges.
He holds two Doctorates in Law, including a doctorate from Universidad Católica de Colombia and a PhD from Universidad de Baja California, Mexico, awarded Magna Cum Laude. He has also conducted postdoctoral research at the University of Bologna, Italy, and has advanced academic training in public law, criminal law and criminal justice.

His research focuses on the responsible application of emerging technologies to criminal justice, including artificial intelligence, Big Data, blockchain, digital evidence and technology-assisted risk assessment. His work explores how prosecutors and justice institutions can use technology to strengthen investigative capacity and decision-making while preserving due process, human rights, accountability and meaningful human oversight.

His current research includes the development of innovative approaches to digital and relational risk in criminal proceedings, particularly in complex corruption and financial crime investigations. He has also worked on the challenges of institutional preparedness, technological resilience and AI governance in justice systems operating under resource constraints and complex social conditions.

As a practitioner-researcher, he brings together frontline prosecutorial experience and interdisciplinary research to address a central question for modern criminal justice: how can artificial intelligence strengthen justice institutions without replacing human judgment, judicial guarantees or institutional responsibility?

He speaks on Artificial Intelligence and Criminal Justice, AI Governance, Digital Evidence, Cybercrime and Criminal Investigation, Prosecutorial Decision-Making, Digital Risk, Legal Technology, and the future of justice institutions.

Skyler Holobach built a compliance and abuse function from scratch at Pardot and Salesforce, taking it through multiple acquisitions and shakeups without losing a single person from her team in 7 years, ranking in the top 10% of leaders in the company the entire time. She moved into product leadership at SocketLabs next, where she grew revenue 25% YoY and shipped products from 0 to 1 as VP of Product Design and Experience. Then, in February 2026, none of her abundant high performing mattered and she got laid off.

Never one to sit around and do nothing, she made a video series entitled: "Enjoy Your Time Off! And Other Things I Wish People Would Stop Saying to Me: A Layoff Survival Guide for High-Performing Women." It covers the things nobody talks about: grief, self-compassion, and sobbing on your kitchen floor wondering why the universe hates you and won't give you a job (it doesn't hate you, but it FEELS like it).

Today, she runs Threadsmith Group, where she coaches mid-career women out of burnout with true, structural change instead of recommending a gratitude journal and a nature walk. She's spoken on the neuroscience of burnout at Unspam and has repeatedly spoken at M3AAWG and Dreamforce. She also chairs the Anti-Harassment committee for the Women of Email board, which has more than 9,000 members across 50 countries.

She's been the manager who caught burnout in other people before it turned into a resignation letter. She's been the high performer who burned out herself. She's also the one who got laid off anyway, with the metrics to prove that performance was never the problem, and she's able and excited to talk about all three.

Off the clock, she trains saber and longsword at Athens School of Arms, crochets, sews, cross stitches, weaves, and probably picked up another hobby since writing this bio. She holds a BS in Psychology from UGA and lives in Athens, Georgia.
