Toby Wagstaff

Toby Wagstaff

Toby Wagstaff is a highly skilled writer, editor, and script consultant with extensive experience in the fields of entertainment and conversational AI. Originally from the United Kingdom, he earned first-class honors in Philosophy and Modern Languages (Italian) from the University of Oxford. Now residing in New York, he continues to push the boundaries of creative storytelling and technology.

During his academic journey, Toby spent a formative year in Rome, where he attended the Università degli Studi Roma Tre. While there, he immersed himself in cinema and art history, volunteered as a teaching assistant, and directed a production of The Importance of Being Earnest. His time in Rome also allowed him to develop a passion for photography and work as an English tutor, further broadening his skill set.

After completing his degree at Oxford, Toby launched his career in London's film industry. He started by working in script analysis and production coordination at Studio 8 Productions and Peace Arch Films. His practical experience was further enhanced by an internship in post-production on the BBC series Monarch of the Glen, where he gained hands-on experience in film editing, sound mixing, and color correction.

In 2004, Toby gained his first significant production experience on the feature film Shadows in the Sun, starring Harvey Keitel and Joshua Jackson. Filmed in Tuscany and London, he served as an assistant to the producers and a translator and even took on the role of an on-screen double for the lead actor.

Later that year, Toby moved to the US to join Fierce Entertainment as a Creative Executive. In this role, he was instrumental in developing the company's first in-house feature, War, starring Jet Li and Jason Statham. His contributions also led to the expansion of the company's buyers' rep operation. Recognizing his passion for writing, Toby transitioned to a role at Original Content, where he focused on discovering and mentoring new screenwriting talent.

Toby Wagstaff eventually shifted to full-time screenwriting, with his first spec script, Arena, being optioned by Summit Entertainment in 2008. Over the years, he has continued to write and sell screenplays in various genres, including thrillers like The Day I Die and YA dramas like Break My Bones. His assignments have also included projects such as the graphic novel adaptation Shrapnel and romantic comedy rewrites for television.

In recent years, Toby has applied his writing expertise to the field of conversational AI. He has been involved in training and refining AI models for a leading tech company, using his creative skills to explore new possibilities in this emerging field. Although he believes AI will never replace the human touch in creative writing, he is excited about its potential to enhance access to information and address global challenges.

Outside of his professional life, Toby Wagstaff is passionate about music, photography, fencing, and nature exploration. He has played guitar and bass in various bands since his teenage years and was a top-ranked youth fencer in the UK, representing Oxford University. In his free time, he enjoys capturing dramatic landscapes with his 35mm SLR camera.

Elliott Mower

Elliott Mower

Elliott is the CEO of Current, a full-stack digital agency that builds, optimizes, and markets digital products in a continuous cycle — ensuring the work never stops performing after launch.

Since joining Mediacurrent in 2021, Elliott has moved quickly through the organization — from Creative Strategy Director to Head of Product to CEO — before building Current through the strategic combination of Mediacurrent and Rhythm. That journey reflects a through-line he's carried across his career: the belief that great digital products and smart marketing shouldn't live in separate worlds.

It's a conviction he's put into practice across education, financial services, and media and entertainment — and one he developed long before Current. At EY Design Studio and Doberman NY, Elliott's work ranged from reimagining the grocery store of the future for the world's largest retailer, to building an accessible technology ecosystem for a New York City arts institution, to crafting an award-winning digital platform for a national fast-casual brand. Different problems, same instinct: making complex systems feel invisible for the people who use them.

Christian Bonzelet

Christian Bonzelet

It was 2013 when we built a real-time voting system for a German live TV show on AWS. That project turned me into a builder who cares about one thing: shipping software that solves a real business problem. The code was only ever how we got there.

Today I lead the Bundesliga ContentHub at Bundesliga as Tech Lead and Engineering Manager, a cross-functional team of engineers, a product owner, and designers. My conviction: every builder on the team, not just the engineers, should be able to ship production code with AI-assisted software engineering.

I am an AWS DevTools Hero and the founder of promptz.dev. I write and speak about agentic engineering with Kiro. Not only what the tool can do in theory (spec-driven development, context as currency), but what it actually looks like when a real cross-functional team builds software with it. The PR that got reverted, the process that had to change, the designer who shipped her first backend change.

If you are a builder in the AWS community, or a lead trying to bring AI-assisted engineering into your team, this is where I share what works and what breaks.

In 2026 The PPC Survey ranked him No. 6 among the 50 Most Influential PPC Experts in the world. At ADworld Experience 2024 his case won Best PPC Case in Europe (PPC Caesars Award).

Maurice Cherry

Maurice Cherry

Maurice Cherry is an award-winning creative leader, editorial strategist, and cultural producer whose work sits at the intersection of storytelling, technology, media, and design. For more than 25 years, he has built platforms, creative systems, and bodies of work that turn ideas into meaningful experiences for audiences. His approach combines editorial judgment, strategic thinking, and a deep understanding of how communities form around stories—particularly stories and perspectives that traditional creative industries have too often overlooked.

Across writing, design, podcasting, voice acting, and creative strategy, Maurice's work is connected by a consistent idea: good creative work needs more than execution. It needs a point of view, an audience, and a system that allows it to endure. That philosophy is perhaps best represented by Revision Path, the groundbreaking podcast he created to document the experiences of Black designers, developers, and digital creatives. Revision Path made history as the first podcast inducted into the permanent collection of the Smithsonian’s National Museum of African American History and Culture (NMAAHC). His other independent projects—including the Black Weblog Awards, 28 Days of the Web, The Year of Tea, and the design anthology RECOGNIZE—similarly reflect a career spent creating spaces for ideas, people, and communities that deserve greater attention.

His design work, advocacy, and projects have garnered acclaim from leading organizations and publications, including Apple, Adobe, NPR, Forbes, and Fast Company. Most recently, in 2025, he was honored as one of the Eames Institute's Curious 100, recognizing his innovative contributions to reframing perspectives, amplifying voices, and inspiring action. He served as the Maryland Institute College of Art's 2021 William O. Steinmetz designer-in-residence, and in 2018, he received the Steven Heller Prize for Cultural Commentary from AIGA, was named one of GDUSA’s “People to Watch,” and was included in The Root 100, their annual list of the most influential African-Americans ages 25 to 45. That same year, Creative Loafing Atlanta recognized him as one of their Influentials in the fields of business and technology. Earlier in his career, Maurice was named one of Atlanta’s “Power 30 Under 30″ in Science and Technology by the Apex Society and was selected as one of HP’s “50 Tech Tastemakers” in collaboration with Black Web 2.0. He is also a valued executive member of the International Academy of Digital Arts and Sciences.

Maurice’s approach to design strategy, problem solving, and creative systems is grounded in analytical thinking developed through his studies at Morehouse College, where he earned a degree in Mathematics.

Danielle Dafni

Danielle Dafni

Danielle Dafni is the founder and CEO of Speechbox, conference media infrastructure that turns live sessions into social-ready assets, a personal kit for every speaker, and a permanent showroom. Speechbox has processed more than 20,000 minutes of video, with speakers from OpenAI, Google, NVIDIA and Meta.

Danielle is also the author of Video to Value, a founder thesis she is writing in public at danielledafni.com. Her argument: video is not the final product but the raw material, and every video an organization makes is an asset it can price, grow and trade, not a cost written off the day it is published.

She speaks about what happens to a conference after the applause: why organizations have never produced so much content and never used so little of it, how AI can find the moments worth keeping while every quote stays in the speaker's own words, and how organizers can turn one event into a year-round media engine.

She has spoken at Google for Startups, NVIDIA, Reichman University, Tel Aviv University, 8200 EISP and the Tel Aviv AI Summit.

Nicki Koutsardaki

Nicki Koutsardaki

Niki Koutsardaki is the creator of the EUTOPIA Framework, a science-based mathematical equation that models the variables determining human happiness, fulfilment and human flourishing. During its development, the framework received an independent review and a positive signed statement from Yale neuroscientist and researcher Dr. Kathleen Garrison and positive academic feedback from Stanford cognitive scientist Professor Jay McClelland.

The EUTOPIA equation received a positive signed statement from Yale neuroscientist Dr. Kathleen Garrison and positive academic feedback from Stanford Prof. Jay McClelland, Lucie Stern Professor, member of the U.S. National Academy of Sciences and leading researcher in computational cognition and neuroscience, and Stanford Prof. Jo Boaler, internationally recognised in mathematics education and learning sciences and affiliated with Stanford’s Wu Tsai Neurosciences Institute.

Behind the EUTOPIA Framework lies a single mission: to bring neuroscience to one of humanity's oldest unanswered questions: How do we build a life that is deeply meaningful, deeply fulfilling and truly worth living? Hidden within it are science-based answers to why we burn out, why success can still feel empty, why extraordinary people never reach their full potential, why some leaders change lives while others quietly diminish them, and perhaps the most important question of all: What is missing?

She holds a degree in Marketing and Communication from the Athens University of Economics and Business and has completed neuroscience studies through HarvardX. She has also completed NLP Mastery training at the Madanes Institute, further expanding her expertise in human behaviour, identity, emotional patterns and transformational change. She is proficient in English and speaks it fluently and confidently in professional, creative and public-speaking settings. An award-winning poet in national poetry competitions across Greece, she combines scientific thinking with the emotional power of language to communicate complex ideas in ways that deeply resonate with people.

Niki is also the host of one of Greece's leading self-development podcasts, which has reached more than 25,000 listeners, where she translates complex neuroscience into simple, practical and emotionally resonant ideas that people can immediately apply to their everyday lives. Her audience has formed an unusually deep connection with her work. Many people use the order notes of her EUTOPIA sportswear brand not to comment on their order, but to tell her what they finally understood about themselves after listening to one of her episodes.

She is also the founder of the EUTOPIA sportswear brand, built around the same philosophy of purpose, identity and personal growth. Through her content, community and brand, she has built a loyal audience that connects not only with her ideas, but with the deeper mission and values behind them.

Based in Greece and available worldwide, Niki's mission is to help people answer one of the most fundamental questions of human existence: What is missing? Through neuroscience, human behaviour and transformational communication, she helps people understand not only how the brain works, but why some lives feel deeply meaningful while others quietly feel empty and how to build a life that is not only successful, but profoundly worth living.
