Before Steel, he was a staff engineer at Lazer Technologies working across fintech and web3 systems, and a data engineer at Meta. Earlier, he co-founded a startup that shipped facial-recognition access control on consumer hardware. He studied Computer Science at the University of Waterloo and is based in Toronto. He has strong opinions about cold starts, p99s, and why "just run Chrome in Docker" stops working sooner than you'd think.

Kristin Ottlinger holds a degree in Cultural Studies and Political Science. She is the co-founder and CEO of Fuchs Devils Wild and a winner of the 2021 New Work Award.

For around 15 years, she has advised renowned national and international clients across a wide range of industries, from start-ups to DAX-listed corporations, on New Work, digitalisation and transformation.

Her foundation: Clarity. Resolve. Execution.
Her focus: the future of work in the age of AI.

Kristin Ottlinger takes a holistic approach to supporting organisations through transformation. Her work spans team development, the design of new structures and processes, and focused strategic counsel for executives and leadership teams.

A particular focus of her work is how leadership, organisations and AI need to work together in the future. She supports companies in the strategic adoption of AI, ensuring that technology and people do not simply coexist but, at their best, become a “perfect match”. Because new technology alone does not transform an organisation. And even the best concept has little value if it fails to deliver impact in day-to-day business.

Her work is therefore defined by a clear view of what lies ahead. Her conviction: change is not always comfortable. But it can be shaped. Provided organisations are prepared not only to talk about the future, but to turn it into action with consistency.

Alongside her consulting work, Kristin Ottlinger shares her extensive experience as a lecturer in New Work, leadership, communication and digital transformation at universities and educational institutions.

She is also a regular interview guest and speaker at events across Germany.

Michael W. Forness is a design-build landscaping specialist whose career is characterized by technical discipline and a strong connection to the coastal environment he serves. Also known informally as “Mike” or “Michael Forness”, the New Smyrna Beach-based landscape contractor focuses primarily on high-end residential landscaping, where he has more than two decades of hands-on experience.

Mike Forness attended the University of Central Florida and earned a Bachelor’s degree in Business before pursuing a career in landscaping and residential construction. In 2005, he earned a certified state building contractor license from the Florida State Construction Licensing Board. His education and years of field experience have helped shape a practical approach to project management, planning, and outdoor design.

In 2001, he founded Coastal Landscapes of Volusia, a company focused on residential landscaping projects throughout the New Smyrna Beach area. Since establishing the Business, he has worked primarily with homeowners seeking outdoor environments that balance functionality with the natural coastal setting. Many of his projects involve waterfront and oceanfront homes where drainage, soil conditions, and environmental exposure require careful planning and long-term consideration.

His work is built around a design-build process that integrates planning, engineering, scheduling, and construction into a single, organized system. By remaining involved from the beginning of a project through completion, Michael W. Forness oversees client communication, site coordination, scheduling, and project management. This direct involvement allows him to maintain consistency throughout every stage of development.

His landscaping projects frequently include irrigation systems, hardscape installation, outdoor living layouts, and plant selection designed for Florida’s coastal conditions. Rather than treating landscaping as a separate decorative feature, Michael Forness views outdoor spaces as an extension of the home itself. This perspective has remained an important part of his professional philosophy over the years.

Working in coastal Florida also requires experience with changing weather conditions, salt air, and exposure to moisture. Through years of practical work, he has developed methods designed to support durability and long-term functionality in outdoor spaces. In the market associated with Michael Forness New Smyrna, his projects reflect a steady focus on organization, usability, and dependable project execution.

In addition to overseeing construction and landscaping work, he also manages many operational responsibilities connected to running the company. Estimating project costs, organizing schedules, coordinating resources, and maintaining communication with homeowners are all important parts of his daily responsibilities. His background in Business has helped him balance field operations with administrative management.

Outside of work, Mike enjoys activities connected to Florida’s coastal lifestyle, especially offshore fishing and surfing along the east coast. Family life also remains important to him. His wife contributes to the company as office manager and marketing director, supporting daily operations and long-term planning for the Business.

Together, they have three daughters pursuing different educational and career paths. One is continuing her education in nursing, another is preparing for a career in accounting, and their youngest daughter remains active in academics and competitive soccer while attending high school.

He has also remained connected to the local community through support for youth athletics and school sports programs. Through continued sponsorships and local involvement, Michael Forness New Smyrna continues to contribute to the New Smyrna Beach community while maintaining his commitment to thoughtful landscaping and dependable residential project management.
