Jess Montgomery works on the part of AI governance that begins when the policy document ends.

An AI governance researcher and enterprise technology leader, she studies what happens when organizations move AI from controlled experimentation into real operations: Who owns the decision? Who has authority to intervene? What happens when an autonomous system acts outside expectations? And can the organization prove its governance actually worked?

Her research focuses on the gap between AI governance frameworks and organizational readiness to execute them, particularly in complex, regulated, and high-consequence environments. She brings more than 15 years of technology and operational leadership to that work and is currently pursuing a Doctor of Computer Science focused on AI governance readiness.

Jess writes and speaks about AI governance, decision ownership, human authority, and the increasingly difficult question facing organizations deploying agentic AI: Before we ask what AI can do, have we decided what it should be allowed to do?

Jess is currently pursuing advanced graduate studies in artificial intelligence and machine learning, where her research and applied work explore how organizations operationalize AI systems safely and effectively within large-scale technology ecosystems.

I over 25 år har jeg arbeidet med å forstå, håndtere og redusere risiko i møte med stadig mer komplekse trusler. Erfaring fra politi, forsvar, konsulentvirksomhet og finanssektoren har gitt meg et bredt perspektiv på hvordan etterretning kan omsettes til bedre beslutninger og reelle strategiske fortrinn.

Min styrke ligger i skjæringspunktet mellom etterretning, sikkerhet og forretningsforståelse. Jeg bistår beslutningstakere og ledere med å forstå hva som faktisk kan påvirke virksomheten, skille vesentlig informasjon fra støy og ta beslutninger på et bedre grunnlag. Det siste 15 årene har jeg særlig arbeidet med etterretning, risikostyring og bekjempelse av finansiell kriminalitet og sanksjonsomgåelser.

Jalal Abdallah has built three businesses. He runs one of them today, and closing the other two was as deliberate a decision as starting them.

An attorney based in Dearborn, Michigan, Jalal graduated from Fordson High School, earned a history degree at the University of Michigan-Dearborn, and completed his law degree at Cooley Law School in 2018. He passed the bar exam in 2020. In 2021, rather than take a position at an established firm, he founded his own practice, focused exclusively on personal injury law.

He did not stop there. Alongside the firm, Jalal opened, owned, and operated an insurance agency and a title insurance agency handling real estate closings. He describes himself plainly as someone who loves being an entrepreneur, and the appeal is the challenge and independence that come with building something from nothing.

The harder call came later. As his law practice grew and his political career took shape, Jalal recognized that running three businesses meant giving none of them everything they needed. He closed the insurance and title agencies so he could focus completely on his firm and on serving his community through public office. Knowing what to stop is a form of leadership that gets discussed less often than knowing what to start.

That focus has produced results. Jalal won the Democratic primary for Michigan House, District 15, an achievement he places alongside passing the bar exam and launching his practice as the ones that mean the most to him. He is also currently pursuing an MBA, driven by a conviction that leadership, whether in a courtroom, a company, or public office, requires ongoing learning rather than a fixed set of skills.

His approach to clients follows the same logic as his approach to business. Personal injury clients are dealing with real disruption to their lives, and Jalal built his practice so he could work with them directly rather than at a distance.

Jalal has been married to his wife, Leila, for nearly five years. Outside the office, his time belongs to family. He is a lifelong history enthusiast, a follower of sports and sports history, a dedicated film buff, and a regular at concerts and music festivals.

The pattern across all of it is consistent: build carefully, commit fully, and stay accountable to the people relying on you.

Jamie Katzen has established a legal career centered on helping families preserve their wealth, organize their estates, and prepare for future generations. Based in Dallas, Texas, he brings more than fifteen years of experience in trusts and estates law, offering guidance on legal and tax matters that affect individuals, families, and their long-term financial plans. As a partner at Katzen Fooshee, PLLC, he works with clients to develop practical strategies that address both present needs and future goals.

Jamie believes estate planning should never be treated as a routine legal process. Every family has different priorities, financial circumstances, and personal objectives that deserve careful attention. He approaches each client relationship by listening first and then providing advice tailored to those individual needs. By creating an environment where clients feel comfortable asking questions, he helps make complicated legal matters easier to understand and navigate.

Jamie's legal practice covers a broad range of trusts and estates services. He regularly assists clients with trusts and estates, asset protection, family wealth preservation, estate and trust administration, probate administration, and tax mitigation. This experience enables him to guide clients through every stage of estate planning, from preparing legal documents to administering estates when the need arises. His work is focused on helping clients protect what they have built while planning responsibly for the future.

Jamie recognizes that successful estate planning involves more than legal documents alone. It requires thoughtful conversations about family goals, financial security, and long-term planning. Rather than relying on a single approach, he develops recommendations based on each client's circumstances. His commitment to individualized service has become an important part of the relationships he builds with the families he represents.

Education has played an important role in preparing Jamie for the legal and tax issues involved in estate planning. He earned a Master of Laws (LL.M.) in Taxation from Southern Methodist University's Dedman School of Law in 2012. Earlier, he received his Juris Doctor (J.D.) from St. Mary's University School of Law in 2008 after completing a Bachelor of Arts at the University of Kansas in 2005. This academic background provides valuable insight into the tax considerations that often influence estate planning decisions.

An important milestone in Jamie’s career was celebrating five years as a partner at Katzen Fooshee, PLLC. The achievement reflects years of dedication to his clients, his colleagues, and the firm's continued growth. It also represents the confidence that clients have placed in his legal judgment throughout his career.

Outside the office, Jamie believes in giving back through community involvement. He has volunteered with Meals on Wheels, the North Texas Food Bank, and Operation Kindness. He also serves as a board member of Congregation Shearith Israel, contributing his time and leadership to support his local community. These activities demonstrate his belief that professional success should be accompanied by meaningful service.

Born in London, England, and raised in Dallas, Texas, Jamie has built both his personal life and legal career in the community he proudly calls home. He and his wife are raising twin boys, and he enjoys spending time with family whenever possible. Away from work, his interests include golf, tennis, skiing, travel, cooking, history, historical fiction, and cheering for the Dallas Cowboys.

Jamie Katzen continues to help clients navigate trusts and estates matters with professionalism, careful planning, and personalized attention. By combining legal experience with a commitment to clear communication and practical solutions, he helps families protect their assets and prepare for the future with greater confidence. His dedication to thoughtful representation remains the foundation of the service he provides to every client.

Speaking Topics:

AI Governance: Implementing ISO 42001 and navigating the EU AI Act.
Risk Quantification: Why "Impact x Probability" fails and how to use convolution models.
Adversarial AI: Balancing transparency with security to prevent data poisoning.
AI ROI: Risk-adjusted financial modeling for Generative AI deployments.

Ready-to-Submit Talk Proposals:

Session 1: The Technical/Quant Talk

Title: Kill the Heatmap: Quantifying AI Risk with Python & Monte Carlo Simulations
Abstract: Most organizations manage AI risk using colorful 5x5 "heatmaps." This is mathematically flawed and dangerous for high-stakes AI deployment. In this talk, we will ditch the gut-check methodology. I will demonstrate how to use convolution and Monte Carlo simulations to model the "tail risk" of AI hallucinations and regulatory fines. You will leave with a method to calculate the actual financial exposure of your models—no expensive GRC software required, just math and logic.

Session 2: The Governance/Security Talk

Title: The Transparency Trap: How to Audit AI Without Creating Vulnerabilities
Abstract: New standards like ISO/IEC 12792 demand AI transparency, but in the age of Adversarial Machine Learning, "oversharing" is a security vector. If you reveal your full architecture and training sources, you invite data poisoning and model inversion attacks. This session outlines a "Tiered Disclosure Architecture." We will discuss how to route specific data to auditors, regulators, and users differently, ensuring compliance with the EU AI Act without handing the keys to bad actors.

Session 3: The Business/Strategy Talk

Title: The Real Cost of Intelligence: A Risk-Adjusted Framework for AI ROI
Abstract: Companies are deploying Generative AI based on productivity hype, but they are ignoring the "OpEx Iceberg"—model drift, inference costs, and liability reserves. This talk presents a financial framework for calculating the true ROI of AI. We will cover how to factor in the "Risk Delta" (new risks vs. automated risks), calculate the Levelized Cost of AI (LCOAI), and determine when to build vs. buy based on process uniqueness. A session for leaders who need to justify the cloud bill to the CFO.

More than 37 years of legal practice have shaped JoAnn Coughtry into the divorce and matrimonial attorney she is today. Based in Albany, New York, her work centers on guiding clients through divorce, custody, support, and related family law matters, usually during what turns out to be one of the most difficult stretches of their lives. She has built a reputation across the region for steady judgment, careful preparation, and a calm presence in proceedings that rarely feel calm to the people going through them.

Her practice, according to colleagues, is measured and methodical. That descriptor carries weight in matrimonial work. Emotions run high in family law, and small details, financial, procedural, or personal, can move a case one way or the other. Clients often remark on her ability to explain difficult issues plainly, without minimizing what's at stake.

Family law, as JoAnn practices it, covers the full range of matters: divorce, child custody, child support, spousal maintenance, equitable distribution, and post-judgment enforcement. Some cases are uncontested and move through the system smoothly. Others involve substantial assets, business valuations, or contested custody disputes that stretch across months or years.

Thousands of clients have come through her practice over the course of her career. Volume alone tells part of the story, but the breadth of issues she has taken on tells the rest. Together they have built a depth of experience that is genuinely difficult to replicate. She has seen how cases unfold. She knows what arguments tend to land, where settlement is possible, and where it isn't.

Whether the case is simple or complex, her approach doesn't waver. She prepares thoroughly. She works from documents. She focuses on the practical resolution the client needs, not the one that looks good on paper.

Beyond her law degree, JoAnn holds a degree in accounting. The combination is uncommon among family law attorneys, and it has shaped her practice in ways that matter. Divorce cases frequently hinge on financial questions. How do you value a closely held business? How do you divide retirement accounts? How do you read a tax return that may not tell the whole story? Most family law attorneys turn to outside experts for those answers. JoAnn does much of that analysis herself.

The fluency shows up throughout her work. Equitable distribution disputes. Support calculations that depend on accurately characterizing income. Cases where one spouse holds a clearer picture of the marital finances than the other. The ability to work through bank records, business statements, and investment accounts without a translator gives her clients a real advantage.

Throughout her career, JoAnn has represented clients from a wide range of cultural and international backgrounds. Many of these clients face family law issues without the support systems they once had. Some came to the United States with limited family ties here, and now find themselves navigating divorce, custody disputes, or other domestic conflicts largely on their own.

The legal process is difficult under any circumstances. For these clients, it can feel especially overwhelming. The American court system is unfamiliar. The stakes are personal. There is often no one nearby to lean on. JoAnn takes pride in helping these clients understand their rights, walking them through each step, and providing steady representation during what is often a frightening period.

The work isn't tied to any single country or background. It's about ensuring that every client, no matter where they come from or what support they do or don't have, feels heard, informed, and protected.

For 25 years, JoAnn served as an Assistant Public Defender. She represented individuals accused of criminal offenses and worked to ensure that every client received the constitutional protections guaranteed under the law. The work was demanding, the caseloads heavy, but it built the foundation for courtroom and trial advocacy that she still draws on today.

Those years reinforced principles she still holds close. Thorough preparation. Effective negotiation. Clear client communication. Representing people during some of the worst moments of their lives taught her something she still believes: every client deserves to be listened to carefully, advocated for vigorously, and protected within the bounds of the law.

Those skills translate directly into her matrimonial work. Contested divorce and custody matters share fundamentals with criminal litigation. Careful case preparation. The ability to argue effectively in court. The judgment to know when to push and when to settle. The trial experience she built as a public defender continues to benefit her family law clients today, particularly in cases that ultimately go before a judge.

The constant thread across JoAnn's career has been her commitment to New York families. Divorce, custody, support, and post-judgment issues aren't abstract legal categories to her. They involve real people making major life decisions, often under stress, often with children in the picture.

She has always taken the view that family law cases are never just legal matters. The legal issues are real and have to be handled correctly, but so do the human ones. That perspective shapes how she runs an initial consultation, how she communicates with clients during a case, and how she handles enforcement proceedings after a judgment has been entered.

Outside of work, JoAnn spends time with family and continues her education in both law and finance. Family law shifts, sometimes in small ways, sometimes in significant ones, and she makes a point of staying current on developments that affect New York practice.

The combination of law and accounting reflects what has always interested her: working through complicated problems, especially ones that carry both financial and personal dimensions. That curiosity hasn't faded with time, and it continues to shape how she approaches her work.

"Divorce and matrimonial attorney" is a description of the work for JoAnn, not a brand. Clients who look up JoAnn Coughtry Law find an attorney whose reputation is built on the work itself. The career behind that description has been built case by case, client by client, over nearly four decades. Her path from the Public Defender's Office through years of matrimonial practice reflects a steady, purposeful commitment to the field rather than any single defining moment.

She continues to practice in Albany, New York, and surrounding counties. The same priorities that guided her from the beginning still guide her today: diligence, integrity, and a real respect for the people she represents. Her clients get personalized representation and an attorney who understands both the legal and financial sides of what they're going through.

For most organisations, the wake-up call doesn’t come from theory… it comes after a bad outcome. A regulatory inquiry. A legal ruling. A supplier or customer incident that exposes how fragile things really are behind the scenes.
Steven has authored 50+ publications and holds 50+ patents, and he specialises in translating complex information and security issues into clear, practical insight for decision-makers. In his most recent book Securing Your Data Supply Chain, he shows how weak governance, combined with emerging threats like data poisoning, deepfakes, and data suppression, can quietly undermine even well-run businesses… and what leaders can do before those risks turn into consequences.
