Chris writes things.

Most of the time, he's writing code as a senior software engineer at his 9-5 working for SAS. Occasionally, usually late at night after wife and three kids are asleep, it means writing fiction (often in the horror and fantasy space) as he prepares to launch his self-publishing author career.

Chris is passionate about helping people understand new or complex topics in ways that are engaging and entertaining, building software responsibly, and reminding engineers that curiosity and empathy are just as important as technical skill.

An extroverted engineer who genuinely enjoys speaking to a room full of people for 20+ minutes, Chris' presenting style has been described as "modern, with a TikTok flair" -- one of the greatest compliments he's ever received.

When he's not "writing things," you'll find him paying video games, reading fiction, or spending time with his favorite people (the aforementioned wife and three kids). he's also incredibly talented, funny, and a general pleasure to be around. And as an aside, he _insists_ that he did not write this bio.

Cat Karow is the Founder & CEO of ZoraSafe, a zero-trust cybersecurity platform built to protect the most targeted (and most overlooked) users online: seniors, kids, and everyday people navigating a world of AI-driven scams and digital manipulation. After two decades building complex, high-impact systems for others, Cat is now building something that hits close to home: real-time protection with human-first design.

Cat led product at Apple, ran U.S. ops for McLaren F1, and secured systems for the White House. She scaled HiPerGator, built enterprise tools for Fortune 100s, and now heads Tech Ops at GuidePoint Security. She's a founding member of Hack The Box and Women in HPC.

But despite the prestige, Cat’s proudest work isn’t behind firewalls, it’s in the living rooms of people who never had protection in the first place. ZoraSafe is her answer to the digital threat crisis: an AI-powered platform that doesn't just detect scams, but teaches users how to defend themselves in real time. Think scam detection meets Duolingo (with teeth).

A disabled, self-taught technologist who built her career without a degree, Cat blends elite experience with unshakable grit. She’s not just here to talk about security—she’s here to rewire how we think about it.

Author of the book *The Digital Architect: Orchestrating Intelligence in the Age of AI* (January 2026) and the newsletter followed by over 1,600 executives, CIOs, and experts, Michel is a thought leader in hybrid systems governance. His Three Zones framework (Automated, Augmented, Sanctuary) helps organizations map out where AI should decide autonomously, where it should assist, and where humans should remain in control.

With over 11 years of hands-on experience, Michel has led the securing of critical infrastructures, Azure cloud platforms, and AI solutions (computer vision, autonomous agents). He excels in balancing automation and control, performance and resilience, innovation and governance.

His presentations combine pedagogy, real-life cases (cyberattacks in 2.7 seconds, flash crashes, automation failures), and practical tools for executive committees. Michel addresses professionals who need to orchestrate AI without becoming technicians: executives, CIOs, CISOs, transformation leads, and consultants.
