Enterprise product executive with 20+ years scaling AppSec, Al-driven SaaS, and developer platforms through periods of rapid commercial and product transformation. Over the years, I’ve had the opportunity to combine deep technical expertise with a strong go-to-market mindset to deliver products that make a real impact.
At Docker, I'm leading Docker Hub and everything developer tooling.

Before joining Docker, I held executive leadership and engineering roles at Checkmarx, Time To Know, HPE, PicApp, and Bezeq, gaining a 360-degree view of product development — from hands-on engineering to strategic product management and customer engagement.

What drives me is helping teams innovate with confidence, bridging the gap between security and development, and empowering organizations to build software that’s not only powerful but also secure.

Michel Fotsing is a cybersecurity and AI governance architect focused on helping organizations adopt AI without losing control over security, risk, and critical decisions.

With over 11 years of experience across cybersecurity, cloud platforms, critical infrastructure, and AI-enabled systems, Michel bridges technical security and executive decision-making. He holds the CISSP credential and contributes to the ISC2 CISSP Examination Review Board.

His work explores a central question for modern organizations: How do you determine what AI can decide, what it should help decide, and what must remain under human control?

Michel developed the Three Zones framework—Automated, Augmented, and Sanctuary—to help organizations classify decisions by risk, define appropriate human oversight, and establish boundaries for AI autonomy. His approach connects AI governance principles with practical cybersecurity, risk management, and organizational accountability.

He is the author of The Digital Architect: Orchestrating Intelligence in the Age of AI and writes for an audience of technology leaders and professionals.

Michel speaks to executives, CIOs, CISOs, risk leaders, and technology teams about AI governance, cybersecurity strategy, AI risk management, and the future of human oversight. His presentations combine strategic frameworks, practical exercises, and real-world scenarios to help organizations turn abstract AI principles into actionable decisions.

Speaking topics: AI governance and accountability · ISO/IEC 42001 and AI management systems · AI risk management · Cybersecurity architecture · Human oversight of autonomous AI · Executive AI strategy.

Stefan’s work has touched fields that at first sight have little in common: music, large-scale open-source migrations, enterprise architecture, fine cuisine, organizational development, and AI. On closer inspection, they share recurring questions about structure, interaction, complexity, adaptation, and how individual parts form a functioning whole.
Across these contexts, his focus is less on individual technologies than on the relationships between components, people, processes, and institutions. His approach is shaped by systems thinking and Kanban: making work and dependencies visible, reducing unnecessary complexity, and enabling deliberate change. He is interested in how complex systems can remain understandable, maintainable, observable, and adaptable — and how technical architecture can support autonomy without losing sight of organizational reality.
He has contributed to initiatives including LiMux and the architectural groundwork for what later became openDesk. His technical work spans AI system architecture, corrective RAG, hybrid retrieval and reranking, observability and provenance, security, reproducible infrastructure, Infrastructure as Code, and deployment across environments from personal computers to data centers and cloud infrastructure. Today he brings these strands together in praivate, a privacy-focused AI platform built around free software, modularity, high engineering standards, reproducibility, and operational control.
Previous speaking engagements include LinuxCon Europe, FOSSASIA, SFSCon, CeBIT, and AI Tech Summit Belgrade. Forthcoming appearances include Big Data Week Bucharest, Kiss the Future Sarajevo, DeAI Summit Malta, and Commons AI Paris.

Bhargav Parmar is a DevOps and Platform engineer with over five years of experience building, shipping, and operating production infrastructure across fintech trading platforms, telecom, and developer platforms.

A CNCF Kubestronaut, he holds all five Kubernetes certifications — CKA, CKAD, CKS, KCNA, and KCSA and spends much of his time exploring the layers beneath Kubernetes: Linux internals, eBPF, networking, observability, and the kernel datapath.

Bhargav is an open-source contributor to the OpenTelemetry ecosystem, with contributions to OpenTelemetry eBPF Instrumentation (OBI), where he works on extending and improving zero-code, eBPF-based application observability. His recent work includes protocol instrumentation and contributions around systems such as Aerospike, alongside continued exploration of how eBPF, OpenTelemetry, and kernel-level telemetry can be used to understand production systems without modifying application code.

He regularly participates in cloud-native communities and speaks at CNCF events, where he enjoys turning low-level debugging, networking, observability, and Linux internals into practical engineering sessions that are easier to understand and reproduce.

He writes about Kubernetes, Linux, eBPF, OpenTelemetry, and systems engineering at bhargavparmar.dev.

Sarah Kundla has always been curious about people: how we communicate, how we learn, and how our experiences and environments shape the way we see the world. That curiosity grew through years of teaching, facilitating, and living and working across cultures, where she saw firsthand how differently people can approach the same conversation, relationship, or challenge.

Today, Sarah is the founder of Questing Insight, where she turns that curiosity into practical learning experiences focused on emotional intelligence, communication, and leadership development. As a speaker, facilitator, and designer, she blends research with real-world experience and storytelling to help people better understand themselves and the people they work with.

Sarah has trained more than 1,900 professionals across the U.S. and internationally, is a Gallup-Certified Strengths Coach, and has spoken at conferences including Learn & Lead, WITCON, and CodeMash. At the heart of her work is a simple goal: helping people become more thoughtful about how they communicate, more curious about perspectives beyond their own, and ultimately, better at working with other humans.

No pitch decks. No service demos. Just real solutions to real developer problems.

That's the promise Vishal Alhat brings to every stage. A former AWS Hero turned Developer Advocate at AWS, he has spent over 11 years as a practitioner — architecting cloud-native systems, automating infrastructure, and learning (sometimes the hard way) what it actually takes to ship resilient applications at scale.

Vishal specializes in AI/ML, Security, DevOps and FinOps. He speaks at major global conferences on zero-trust architectures, MLOps pipelines, and responsible GenAI development — always from a developer's perspective, focused on solving pain points with open standards and battle-tested patterns, not promoting platforms.

His community impact speaks for itself: 5,000+ developers mentored, the Community Builder of the Year award, and the HashiCorp Ambassador recognition — credentials earned by the ecosystem, not by a corporation. Through technical writing, open-source contributions, hands-on workshops, and speaking engagements, Vishal makes complex cloud concepts accessible to developers at all skill levels.

Whether he's helping a team adopt zero-trust without the complexity or demystifying secure AI pipelines, his mission is simple: help developers build boldly, ship confidently, and sleep peacefully.

Vishal is available for global speaking engagements and does not require travel or accommodation assistance.
