I am Luca, the face behind UP!. I am a father in permanent training, friend of too many friends, an aging adult with juvenile symptoms. When alone, I put on my headphones and dance like nobody's watching, but also like someone is watching. I love cooking dinner for guests until they start messing with my dishwasher.

I am also a certified coach and a Nonviolent communication trainer. I founded UP! because corporate life was important until it stopped being such. Because sometimes taking risks is the safest thing to do. And because the longing to investigate human behaviours became compelling. From here, supporting people with their self-introspection, was the most logical step to take.

Zuriel Gibson

Zuriel Gibson

Lupus Survivor, Advocate, Actress, Coach & Non-profit Thriver Zuriel Gibson is the eldest of five children who was born New Orleans, Louisiana. She was often declared as the “different” one and shunned due to the vastness of her dreams. Her passion has contributed to her success as the CEO of Blue Wings Home Health Services and more than fifteen years as an industry fashion and print model. The doctors diagnosed Zuriel with lupus and said that she wouldn’t live past the age of twenty-four. Due to lack of knowledge and resources at the time, she immediately thought that her dreams were no longer attainable; life was over. After many bouts with depression, pain, addictions and hospital stays, Zuriel became discontent and decided to use her pain to propel her into purpose. As a lupus survivor and advocate, she has become a much sought after speaker. Her message, “There is purpose in your pain,” has been shared on numerous media outlets such as The Kingdom Broadcast Network, Destiny Channel TV, Something Good is About to Happen, The Ladies Room Radio Broadcast and more.

Steve Adolph

Steve Adolph

Steve is a Strategic Advisor at Scaled Agile, where he pursues his passion for improving people's working lives by working differently and building the future.
Steve's been in this industry longer than he cares to think about, and if you remember Fortran, TTL, 8 bit logic, and can solder, then you’re probably in his demographic. Steve started his career actually doing engineering and building cool things like telephone switches and railway signaling systems. Around the late 90s, he was seduced by the dark side of a greater salary, plus an office with a door that could close, and moved into management. There, he became interested in how ways of working and organizational culture influence enterprise outcomes. Steve has worked with a wide variety of clients using SAFe to better their way of working for nearly 15 years.
Steve has written numerous papers on agility, analysis, and software engineering. He has authored several books on analysis, including the recently published “The Rock Crusher.”
Education-wise, Steve holds a PhD in Electrical and Computer Engineering and is a SAFe SPCT. But, despite that, he is still an OK guy. For fun, Steve enjoys the usual West Coast lifestyle: skiing, hiking, kayaking, and complaining about housing prices. There is a nasty rumour circulating that Steve is an opera fan.
