Pawel Skiba

Pawel Skiba

Many times people told me that I should focus on one system or one programming language and become an expert in it. I never liked to listen to such advice.

During over 10 years of career as a SAP consultant, I worked on almost every SAP module ever released. My ABAP code written in Walldorf is probably still used by many companies. I hired, trained and managed tens of great technical consultants. Then I spent 6 years in the IoT and Edge AI business, building technical team while taking care of business development and delivering custom hardware solutions to clients on 4 continents, using (again) many technologies and programming languages.

Today I am still not an expert in a narrow domain, but thanks to that I am proud to join my mother company as someone with commercial experience and expertise in SAP, IoT, AI and Software Development, to take care of the entire technology stack and serve over 130 professionals as a Chief Technology Officer.

By using enterprise level logic and operational discipline, Vicky provides a roadmap for those feeling out of control or overwhelmed by complexity. Her methodology has proven particularly vital for women navigating the unique professional and physiological challenges of perimenopause - a mid-career transition that requires both clinical awareness and high-level strategic navigation to protect one's career trajectory and personal well-being.

An MBA and College Professor, Vicky has managed high profile procurement portfolios and led complex transformations in highly regulated manufacturing environments.

Keith Brautigam

Keith Brautigam

Keith Brautigam is a dedicated IT and cybersecurity professional with extensive experience in identity and access management. Throughout his career, he has progressed through various roles, ultimately achieving leadership positions such as Chief Information Security Officer (CISO) and Interim Chief Information Officer (CIO) at Prestigious University. His work has consistently focused on improving security systems, enhancing IT infrastructures, and ensuring compliance with regulatory standards across several organizations.

Born in San Diego, California, Keith moved with his family to the East Bay Area of San Francisco at a young age. His interest in technology developed early, and he was influenced by friends who owned Amiga and Atari computers. Initially, he was drawn to video games, but his passion quickly shifted toward optimizing computer performance to enhance his gaming experience. Later, his family moved again to Iowa City, Iowa, where he attended high school and pursued a degree in Communication and Media Studies at the University of Iowa. This opportunity also allowed him to study abroad in Mérida, Venezuela.

After earning his degree, Keith faced a tough job market, particularly after the 1990s eCommerce collapse. He relocated to the Research Triangle, North Carolina, where he worked as a supervisor at a Borders bookstore. Although this role was unrelated to his career goals, it provided him with valuable experience in leadership and customer service. Eventually, he returned to Iowa City and was offered an IT position at a medical research center. There, he began his career in IT, focusing on system administration and data security, especially in the context of HIPAA regulations.

Keith later transitioned to higher education, where he helped modernize systems and implement new technologies. His experience with Agile SCRUM software development practices led to his recruitment by the University of Iowa’s central IT department. In 2014, he joined Prestigious University, where he advanced through various positions, eventually becoming CISO and Interim CIO. While at the university, he led several initiatives, including implementing the Shields Up cybersecurity program, which significantly strengthened the university’s security posture.

In 2023, he relocated to the Denver Metro Area and took on the role of Global Cybersecurity Director of Identity and Access Management at Hunter Douglas.
