Noa Schein Kahalon builds operations and growth systems for consultancies and legal firms that are too busy solving client problems to solve their own.

She's been on every side of this. Co-founded a VC-backed AI Compliance SaaS startup where she built ops, marketing, and product strategy from nothing. Spent a decade as a privacy lawyer and consultant handling the kind of incidents that make general counsels lose sleep. Nominated for PICCASO Privacy Awards and became a Fellow of Information Privacy (FIP).

And she knows the specific physics of trying to grow a professional services business while simultaneously delivering client work. How your own operations become the thing you never have time for.

Antonio D'Angelo, also known as the 47th funniest guy in his workplace (losing count of awards), is your go-to full stack developer specialized in Cybersecurity.

Hailing from the vibrant scene of Napoli (Italy), Antonio has a knack for crafting web application and script (most of the time useless) for everyone – all while trying to explain the intricacies of mental and cognitive bias.

Antonio is the proud companion of a Belgian Shepherd (named Giotto).

Antonio has broadened his horizons to encompass everything, with a focus on Cybersecurity and staying up-to-date with the latest frameworks.

If you catch him on stage at a tech meetup, he'll likely regale you with tales of awkward party encounters and, of course, some technical tidbits – but mainly about his desire to be in bed and sleep

In the rare moments when Antonio isn't knee-deep in coding, you'll find him indulging in his new pastimes: exploring the world of pubs, savoring Guinness, relishing in cevapi delights, and discreetly sharing forbidden knowledge on his personal blog. And yes, he still enjoys writing about himself, but now it's from a hilariously quirky first-person perspective

Andrew Byer, Attorney, was born in 1962 in Jersey City, New Jersey, into a family enriched by his Italian immigrant mother's heritage. This bicultural environment, which included significant time spent in Italy, ingrained a deep appreciation for diverse cultures, influencing his aspirations and later career in international law. He pursued a Bachelor of Arts in Political Science at Columbia University, graduating in 1984, and his global perspective was further enhanced by a semester abroad in France.

After completing his Juris Doctor at Syracuse University College of Law in 1987, Andrew began his legal career in South Florida. His initial role was as Lease Administrator and Legal Counsel at Miracle Marketplace in Coral Gables, where he honed his skills in commercial law by managing lease negotiations and tenant relations.

In 1990, Andrew's career path shifted toward international business when he assumed the role of Director of Operations for Maria Pia, an Italian shoe manufacturer, in closing its U.S. operations. His fluency in Italian and comprehensive legal knowledge were crucial in overseeing the orderly shutdown of the company's American presence. He continued to build on this international experience from 1991 to 1994 as General Counsel and Director of International Sales at Intracorp, Inc., a firm that developed video gaming software. In this role, Andrew was pivotal in securing licensing deals with Hollywood studios, allowing for the creation of video games based on popular films, which dramatically expanded the company’s reach into global markets.

In 1994, leveraging his extensive legal and international business experience, Andrew founded the Law Offices of Andrew Byer. His practice specializes in helping European companies enter and thrive in the U.S. market, offering legal guidance and strategic business insights. His multilingual skills and deep understanding of cross-border transactions made his firm a valuable asset to its clients.

Driven by his love for high-quality audio, Andrew opened Magnum Opus Audio in 2007, a Fort Lauderdale boutique specializing in high-end audio and home theater systems. As the retail landscape evolved, he shifted his entrepreneurial focus to real estate, founding AJ&J Holdings, LLC, and later Bozhlona, Inc. in 2024, focusing on property management.

Outside his professional life, Andrew is an active philanthropist, mainly engaged in animal welfare and community service initiatives. Today, Andrew Byer significantly contributes to his industry and community, utilizing his vast experience in law, business, and real estate.
