Hernan Huwyler is a Global Risk Management Executive and the Academic Director at IE Law and Business School (Executive Education). With a dual background as an MBA and CPA, Hernan specializes in the intersection of Law, Technology, and Quantitative Risk.

He focuses on "translating" complex regulatory frameworks (EU AI Act, GDPR, ISO 42001) into actionable architectures for engineering and business teams. Unlike traditional compliance officers, Hernan advocates for data-driven risk management, moving beyond "heatmaps" to utilize Monte Carlo simulations, convolution models, and Python-based risk quantification.

Hernan has led Risk, Control, and Audit functions for major multinational corporations across Europe and the Americas. He writes and speaks extensively on Adversarial AI, Algorithmic Auditing, and the financial quantification of Cyber Risk. Past keynote venues include Risk Awareness Conferences (>2,000 risk managers), IIA and ISACA Summits, ProcureCom Europe, IKN Madrid, IE University, and closed-door sessions for international organizations and national regulators. Hernan’s talks consistently rank in the top 5% of conference feedback scores because he makes complex security requirements, business needs and regulations feel like a competitive advantage.

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.
AI Architecture: Decision-making and planning on how to plan AI developments.

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.

Lani Gonzales helps successful women and high achievers who look accomplished on the outside—but feel exhausted, disconnected, or unfulfilled on the inside—create success without burnout and power without losing their soul.

Many of the women Lani works with have done everything “right.” They’ve built impressive careers, achieved financial independence, and earned respect—yet inside, they feel stuck, overextended, or quietly empty. The constant pressure to perform, produce, and prove has pulled them further from their intuition, their body, and their deeper sense of purpose.

After becoming a law firm partner at 23, Lani lived that same story. From the outside, she had it all. On the inside, she was driven by subconscious survival patterns and a nervous system locked in overdrive. Her own awakening led her to leave the legal profession and devote her life to studying the subconscious mind, human behavior, and the wisdom traditions that have guided healing and leadership for thousands of years.

Today, Lani blends neuroscience-based hypnotherapy, performance psychology, and ancient wisdom traditions to help high-achieving women:
- Rewire burnout and overdrive at the root
- Break free from subconscious self-sabotage
- Reconnect to clarity, intuition, and inner authority
- Build success that feels aligned, sustainable, and alive

Her talks are known for being raw, strategic, and deeply activating—combining modern science with timeless wisdom to create real, lasting transformation. Audiences leave with tools they can use immediately to change how they lead, live, and work.

Named the YJP Professional of the Year in 2017 and a Super Lawyer for more than 15 consecutive years, Jonathan Pasternak is a distressed debt and commercial real estate advisor and consultant with more than thirty years of experience in managing complex financial transactions. The YJP honor recognized his long-term contributions to restructuring initiatives, and it was one of several notable accolades he received from peers and professional organizations. His many leadership roles have earned him considerable industry recognition.

His academic record begins at The Pingry School, where he graduated cum laude with the class of 1981. He continued at Brown University as a member of the class of 1985, majoring in American History and Literature. Education has been a significant influence on Jonathan Pasternak's professional and personal life, shaping his later career direction as well as his current commitments. He served as a class representative for both Pingry and Brown, coordinating alumni and class-based initiatives, and he maintains active ties with both communities to this day. His spouse and two of his three children are Brown graduates, and the family's alumni involvement includes ongoing participation and outreach.

He has also shared his knowledge from the podium and in the press. Jonathan has lectured at numerous industry conferences as well as at his former secondary and law schools. Throughout his career, he has been routinely sought for interviews and quotes concerning large-scale restructurings, and he has appeared on radio and television.

Those credentials rest on a 36-year career in restructuring and distressed debt, during which Jonathan Pasternak represented parties across a wide range of industries. His primary area of specialization has been the reorganization and restructuring of private and public companies, with hundreds of individual and corporate clients represented over the years. His expertise covers debtor and creditor representation, workouts, recapitalizations, asset sales, and complex court-supervised proceedings, delivered to business owners, institutional stakeholders, and court-appointed representatives tasked with overseeing financially distressed companies. His skill set centers on corporate reorganization, distressed debt, and commercial real estate, and he has carried a career in stabilization, restructuring, and matters both in and out of court-supervised proceedings.

Beyond court-supervised matters, he has extensive experience in commercial real estate and finance. That work has included distressed property issues, debt restructuring tied to real estate and business asset portfolios, and transaction-driven reorganizations. In every setting, he has applied financial analysis and legal strategy while keeping business objectives and circumstances in focus, through formal proceedings and negotiated resolutions alike. Even after receiving his accolades, he kept his commitment to commercial real estate, distressed debt, and finance-driven restructurings.

For more than 20 years, Jonathan managed his own boutique law firm focused on restructuring and reorganization matters. He directly led the firm's operations while maintaining an active and voluminous caseload, working closely with clients, interested parties, other professionals, and court institutions through reorganizations and court-supervised proceedings. Running a specialized firm for two decades required considerable operational oversight, astuteness in client advisory work, leadership, and matter-level strategy, and the experience strengthened his skills as both a practitioner and an organizational leader in the restructuring field.

Working in either a legal or an advisory capacity, Jonathan Pasternak has established mutually favorable relationships with companies, lenders, investors, fiduciaries, and other professionals. In commercial real estate, distressed debt, and corporate finance, he has often been called on to negotiate between multiple stakeholder groups, conduct detailed financial reviews, and carefully navigate court procedure. His work has focused on financially distressed environments where legal judgment and business evaluation are often intertwined, always with the goal of helping others.

His commitments extend well into his community. For 11 years, he served on the Board of Trustees of Temple Sinai of Bergen County, and as one of the board's longest-serving trustees, he was responsible for oversight of governance, planning, and fiduciary matters. Few individuals have held that position for as long as he has. He contributes to numerous charities and community efforts, including food and clothing drives and educational organizations, and he regularly donates to community initiatives launched by Pingry School, Brown University, and Tenafly, New Jersey, where he resides, aligning his philanthropy with the institutions that have played important roles in his development. Through various not-for-profit institutions, he actively contributes to educational, religious, and charitable initiatives. He has also provided pro bono legal services throughout his career to individuals, small businesses, and local not-for-profit organizations.

Jonathan Pasternak is an accomplished musician and performer, well known among his professional peers, and music remains an active pursuit that adds a creative dimension to his career. He relishes the preparation, timing, and technical control of performing, seeing those disciplines as equally rewarding as the skills he has employed throughout his restructuring career. He is also a well-known archivist and field recorder for live music and concerts, and he has donated significant time to Tenafly and the community by coaching at recreational and travel levels and performing at community events.

Louise Humpington brings nearly three decades of experience across commercial law (Financial Services Litigation), international development, human rights, and AI ethics and governance. She has worked in some of the world's most demanding governance environments, including as Country Director for Oxfam in Papua New Guinea and as a Non-Executive Director of Amnesty International UK. Her work focuses on applying those legal, regulatory and human impact lenses to the design, development, and deployment of AI and in interrogating the principles of fairness and accountability to that live within their datasets. She argues that governance must be viewed as a mycelium network and that ethical considerations are no longer a cultural nicety. They are foundational to mitigate risk, avoid legal and bottom line liability, and ensuring that real world harms are caught before damage is done. Governance must be preventative, not a mop up exercise.

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.

Ex-CEO turned author, consultant, and educator, I have spent thirty years of international leadership experience at the intersection of AI, Business Agility, and DevOps. I'm the author of The Supercharged Enterprise: Strategic Adaptation for Growth and Resilience (Business Expert Press) and Developing Agile Coaches, and I've distilled that experience into the Blueprint for Enterprise Agility — a framework built on eight Leadership Behaviours and eight Operational Processes that I teach and apply directly in client transformations.

My current work focuses on where AI meets governance and portfolio management: I've developed and deliver a course treating Lean Portfolio Management combined with AI as a control system, with AI as the sensing and optimisation layer — alongside advisory work helping financial services and other regulated organisations govern AI responsibly. I believe, and have proven repeatedly, that Enterprise Agility done well produces measurable growth and profit, not just cultural change for its own sake.

I've operated at every level from board to project team, across Financial Services, Banking, Payments, Insurance, FMCG, TV, and Retail — leading large-scale agile transformations and applying AI directly in software development and testing environments. That range across people, process, technology, and now AI governance lets me craft change initiatives that hold up under real organisational pressure, not just in the deck.

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.
