Jeremiah Landi

Jeremiah Landi

Jeremiah Landi started his career as a “GO’FER” in an architecture firm (98’) and made his way into an animatronics creator for shows like Phantom of the Opera (10’); little did he know that the skills he picked up along his journey would play very synergistically within a highly technical, rigid world and within the Government Bureaucracy, even putting him in front of the US Congress (08’).

Throughout his career, he has traveled the world working in a range of different project environments (Nobel Prize to ESPN) and cultural environments having worked through both the “America's” and all around Europe (with a little Asia).

He enjoys bringing dynamic thought processes and design first problem-solving to many different companies now through his own company deploying products (i.e.military helicopter fuel pumps, basketball medical devices) and Modified Agile Hardware Development (MAHD). The company he started back in 2016 now spans from physical manufacturing (i.e. stamping, welding, 3D printing) to algorithmic software development (i.e. traveling salesman); so it is easy to say the problems he solves aren’t easily fixed in a remote world.

Peter Laughter

Peter Laughter

Hello there! I'm Peter Laughter, and 12 years ago, an experience transformed my understanding of leadership and set me on a path to fulfill my purpose. I realized that the best solutions come from those closest to the problem, not from the top down. This led me to embrace distributed decision-making, empowering individuals to help organizations become more agile and resilient in today’s rapidly changing landscape.

My purpose is to reveal the profound bonds that connect all humanity, making them visible and tangible in our daily lives. To thrive amid exponential change, organizations must shift from command-and-control to a network system of distributed authority. The traditional command-and-control orthodoxy is as harmful for corporate leaders as it is for employees, stifling innovation and engagement. Through my speaking and consulting, I guide organizations in building dynamic methods for fostering this new approach.

With over 25 years in the recruiting and staffing industry, I've founded three successful firms, served elite consultancies and banks, and pioneered the first SaaS platform for managing enterprise labor programs. My work has earned prestigious awards, including the Inc 500.

I'm a TEDx speaker on Radical Empathy and a three-time Moth Story Slam winner, with a story featured on The Moth Podcast. These experiences reflect my passion for storytelling and my ability to connect deeply with audiences.

When I'm not transforming the business world, you'll find me exploring trails on my bicycle, lost in a book, or sharing stories. And yes, I love a good laugh – after all, it’s in my name! Most of all, I love riding the Cyclone with my daughter Eddy.

Biographie de Louis Bertson

Louis Bertson est né le 21 Juin 1998 dans la ville de Yako, au Burkina Faso. Dès son jeune âge, il a montré un intérêt vif pour la découverte et l'apprentissage.

Il a commencé son parcours éducatif à l'école primaire Petit Samba Yako, où il a jeté les bases solides de son éducation de base de 2003 à 2010. Durant ces années, Louis a démontré sa curiosité et sa passion pour l'apprentissage.

En 2011, il a poursuivi ses études au Petit Séminaire de Koudougou pour son éducation secondaire, où il a continué à exceller tout en développant ses compétences interpersonnelles et ses intérêts artistiques.

C'est pendant ses années d'école secondaire que Louis a découvert sa passion pour la musique et a commencé à apprendre le piano. De 2016 à 2019, il a consacré une partie de son temps à maîtriser cet instrument, explorant les nuances de la musique et développant son sens artistique.

Cependant, sa passion pour la technologie et le développement web l'a finalement conduit à abandonner le piano pour se plonger entièrement dans l'apprentissage de la programmation. Fasciné par le potentiel infini de la technologie, Louis a décidé de devenir autodidacte en JavaScript à temps plein à partir de 2016.

Son dévouement et sa persévérance l'ont rapidement propulsé vers de nouveaux horizons. En 2020, Louis a intégré la prestigieuse école Simplon à Ouagadougou pour approfondir ses compétences en développement web.

Sa carrière professionnelle a pris son envol lorsqu'il a intégré l'équipe de Switch Maker pour un stage de quatre mois, où il a acquis une expérience précieuse dans le domaine du développement web. Par la suite, il a rejoint Afric Consulting Group, où il a travaillé pendant plus d'un an, contribuant à divers projets innovants.

En quête de défis plus stimulants, Louis a ensuite rejoint Total.js en Slovaquie, où il a passé deux ans à perfectionner ses compétences et à explorer de nouvelles technologies dans le domaine du développement web.

Récemment, Louis s'est tourné vers le domaine de l'intelligence artificielle, où il explore les frontières de la technologie et cherche à apporter des innovations significatives dans ce domaine en constante évolution.

À travers son parcours, Louis Bertson incarne la détermination, la passion et la recherche incessante de connaissances. Il reste un exemple inspirant pour tous ceux qui aspirent à repousser les limites de leurs capacités et à créer un impact positif dans le monde de la technologie.
