Hi there! I am Luca, a native of the lush lands of Trentino-Alto Adige/SüdTirol. By day, I am a nerdy developer working especially on the OpenJDK ecosystem and a Go learner. Topics like Domain-Driven Design, Greek mythology, Object-Oriented development, and Ontology are my work and hobby (but not at the same time, unfortunately). But I also like to eat a lot of risotto.

Brooke Bridges

Brooke Bridges

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.

Yino Diaz

Yino Diaz

Yino Diaz is a Dutch-Colombian social entrepreneur, speaker, and founder of Niños del Futuro, a community-driven organization in Medellín that helps young people build their futures through entrepreneurship, leadership, and opportunity.

After rebuilding his own life and moving to Colombia in 2019 to reconnect with his roots, Yino discovered that lasting transformation rarely begins with advice. It begins with experiences that change how people see themselves, others, and the world around them.

Over the past several years, he has developed initiatives including Chefs del Futuro, Barberos del Futuro, and Kicks4Kids, mentored vulnerable youth in Colombia and the Netherlands, coached adults searching for purpose, created the Between Worlds conversation card deck, and designed immersive experiences that connect volunteers, founders, educators, and organizations with communities they might otherwise never encounter.

His work sits at the intersection of leadership, service, storytelling, community building, and social entrepreneurship. Rather than delivering motivation or abstract theory, Yino shares practical frameworks shaped by years of building organizations where trust, belonging, and ownership become the foundation for lasting change.

Whether speaking to founders, educators, nonprofit leaders, governments, students, or corporate teams, Yino challenges audiences to rethink what leadership looks like in today’s world. His sessions combine powerful stories with practical tools that people can apply immediately to build stronger teams, more connected communities, and lives driven by purpose.

At the heart of every keynote is one central question:

How do we design experiences that transform people, not just inform them?

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.

Ghizlane Aroussi

Hi there !
For the past five years, I've been on a rewarding journey as an engineering manager—leading teams, learning continuously, and striving to make work just a little more human (and fun!).
Before stepping into management, I rolled up my sleeves as a 3D developer then a full stack engineer, building web and mobile experiences and solving bugs :)

Today, I have the joy (and sometimes the challenge!) of managing both a vibrant team of software engineers and a dynamic group of RPA engineers. My mission? To design reliable and scalable systems and to foster a culture where experimentation is encouraged and where everyone feels they’re in the right place.

People, communication patterns, and the ever-evolving world of work fascinate me. I’m especially intrigued by how AI will reshape our jobs.

At PayFit, I’m currently navigating our transition to Domain-Driven Design while experimenting with team topologies, the 360 impact on the organization business, people and tech wise is fascinating.

I believe in tackling technical debt gracefully and my goal is to do so while delivering business value and empowering teams to take ownership and make decisions.

More than happy to share my learnings and acquire new ideas on the way!
