Carol Tinga is a Postdoctoral Scholar at the Ontario Veterinary College (OVC), University of Guelph, Canada. She earned her PhD at OVC, focusing on owner-companion rabbit relationships and rabbit welfare. Her research examined the use of human-animal relationship scales for rabbit owners, risk factors for relinquishment and abandonment, and recent trends in domestic rabbit intake and management at shelters and rescues in Canada and the USA. Currently, Carol is preparing four open-access publications based on her thesis, presenting findings at conferences, and supporting organizations that care for rabbits. Additional upcoming papers will address access to veterinary care, challenges of rabbit ownership, owners’ favourite rabbit behaviours and their significance, and the validation of a third relationship scale. Vespa, a remarkable lop-eared rabbit, inspired her PhD. Before her doctoral studies, Carol completed an MSc in epidemiology, exploring how veterinary students and recent graduates perceive their technical and professional skills. She now shares her home with Ellie and Coco, a bonded pair of free-range rabbits affectionately known as “the hooligans,” adopted after they were abandoned outdoors.

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.

Fernanda Arias Solís works at an unusual intersection: psychology applied to the design of AI-powered operations. She studied how the human mind thinks, decides and burns out before she learned to automate it, and today she does both at the same time, the most useful combination of her career.

As Head of Operations at Dojo Coding, a Costa Rican company that combines software factory, education, community and events to train LATAM's next generation of developers, she 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. From that seat she has produced the largest tech events in Central America, among them Quantathon CR alongside OQI and CERN, and the biggest blockchain hackathon in the region with more than 600 developers. In parallel, she is co-founder and COO of Blockchain Jungle, the tech summit she built from scratch in Costa Rica: three editions, 7,000+ attendees and a better-connected region.

Her thesis: operations problems are almost never technical. They're human problems dressed up as docs, spreadsheets or "the workflow doesn't scale." Psychology taught her how to read them and AI gave her what to fix them with. That's what she does: design operations from psychology and AI, not from the management playbook. She speaks from the trenches, not from theory.

Brooke Marie Bridges is a keynote speaker, workshop facilitator, somatic CBT coach, vitalist herbalist, and author with Transatlantic Literary Agency. She is the founder of Unearthing Wellness and the creator of The Integrated Root™ — a Mind-Body-Earth framework built around a single premise: you can have all the insight in the world and still not know how to embody your life.

Her keynotes and workshops address the gap most wellness programming misses entirely — the space between understanding yourself and actually inhabiting yourself. Drawing on the neuroscience of the prefrontal cortex and amygdala, the emerging science of interoception, somatic CBT practice, and ancestral plant medicine traditions, she gives audiences not just new understanding but a genuinely different felt experience of themselves.

A former Nickelodeon child actress and SAG-AFTRA performer, Brooke spent her childhood learning to perform emotions professionally and her adult life learning the difference between performing wellness and actually embodying it. For four years she facilitated Uprooting Racism trainings with Soul Fire Farm. She has presented for Ellevate Network, Berkshire Community College, Berkshire County District Attorney's Office, Miss Porter's School, and more than 150 schools and organizations across North America.

Her signature keynote — From Awareness to Wellbeing: Why We Know More About Wellness Than Ever and Still Feel Burned Out — was described by Ellevate Network CEO Allyson McDonald as introducing concepts she had never heard framed that way before. Her six-workshop Changing the Response series and somatic DEI workshop Wired for Difference are available for organizational engagements.

Brooke presents virtually and in person across North America.
