Tiara Jamison is the Founder and CEO of AnnieGuard, a causal intelligence company focused on understanding the hidden systems that drive biological threats, disease, environmental risk, and complex human outcomes.

Her work centers on a simple but powerful idea: events do not happen randomly. Whether the outcome is a disease diagnosis, a public health crisis, an environmental disaster, or a system failure, there are underlying causes that can be reconstructed from the data that already exists.

Drawing on experience across Microsoft, Google, and Amazon, Tiara combines systems thinking, threat detection principles, artificial intelligence, and biological research to help organizations move beyond prediction and toward understanding why events happen.

After losing her mother, Annie, to sarcoma, Tiara founded AnnieGuard to challenge conventional approaches to disease detection and risk assessment. Today, her work explores how causal intelligence can be applied across healthcare, biological security, environmental systems, public safety, and critical infrastructure.

Tiara speaks on causal intelligence, biological and environmental threats, systems failure, healthcare innovation, artificial intelligence, entrepreneurship, resilience, and the future of decision-making in complex environments.

Lynda Williams spent a decade building an award-winning PR agency across South East Asia and Hong Kong. She led multi-generational teams, won international clients, and by every external measure — was at the top of her game. She also learned the hard way that resilience built on achievement rather than self-worth has a shelf life.
Now a Tranformation Coach, Key Note Speaker and host of the podcast P.S I Love Me, Lynda works with high-achieving individuals who are brilliant at performing — and ready to start leading differently.
Her keynote "Gen Z, Self-Worth and the Future of Leadership" is a straight-talking, deeply personal exploration of why Gen Z aren't the problem — they're the mirror. And what every leader in the room needs to look at before that mirror breaks.
Lynda brings rare credibility to this conversation — not as a theorist, but as someone who lived the old model, paid the price for it, and rebuilt from the inside out.
