Michael Wall

Michael Wall

Michael Wall has been an IT professional going back to when he had his own software store and worked with his customers with their “dose” problems. Originally hired by a small consulting firm to write web pages, he was thrust into the SysAdmin world when their lead consultant changed the passwords of all of the servers at a major pulp and paper company’s systems to 100%s$%t and walked out the door. He was sent down with a copy of UNIX for Dummies and 50 cents for the bus ride back. Fast forward a few years, he was asked if he wanted to be a DBA after successfully managing a fifty server Y2K upgrade. Since then, he’s never looked back and has survived a number of data and system challenges.
When not wrangling cats at home, he currently keeps busy with being active in the SQL Community by presenting and coordinating. He is blessed with a wonderful family and two lazy cats and keeps treading water literally down at the local pool.

AI Platform Lead | Data & AI Strategist | Agentic Systems Advocate

With more than 20 years of experience in data, analytics, and digital transformation, I have spent my career helping organizations turn information into measurable business value. My foundation lies in data analytics, data platforms, and enterprise-scale data governance, where I have led teams, platforms, and strategic initiatives in highly regulated environments.

Over the past years, my focus has evolved from building data-driven organizations to enabling AI-driven organizations. Today, I lead the intersection of Data Platforms and AI Platforms within the Swiss health insurance industry, helping shape the foundations for trusted, scalable, and governed AI adoption.

Key Areas of Expertise

- AI Platform Leadership
Leading the evolution from traditional data platforms toward enterprise AI platforms, enabling organizations to operationalize Generative AI, Agentic AI, and intelligent automation at scale.

- AI Governance & Responsible AI
Designing governance frameworks that balance innovation, security, compliance, and transparency in one of the most regulated industries. My work focuses on ensuring AI solutions remain trustworthy, auditable, and aligned with business and regulatory requirements.

- Agentic Development & AI Engineering
Specialized in designing and implementing enterprise-grade AI agents using the Microsoft Agent Framework, combining modern software engineering practices with AI-native architectures. My focus includes multi-agent systems, orchestration patterns, identity propagation, and secure agent-to-agent collaboration.

- Data & AI Platforms
Deep expertise in Azure, Microsoft Fabric, Data Mesh, and enterprise data platforms. I believe that future AI capabilities can only succeed when built upon strong foundations of data quality, governance, interoperability, and platform thinking.

- Leadership & Transformation
Leading multidisciplinary teams through technological change, fostering innovation cultures, and helping organizations navigate the transition from data-centric to AI-centric operating models.

Vision

I believe the next generation of enterprise systems will be built around intelligent agents that act as active participants within business processes. Data products will evolve into intelligent, interactive products capable of reasoning, collaborating, and creating value autonomously.

My mission is to help organizations build the platforms, governance models, and engineering capabilities required to make this transformation secure, scalable, and sustainable.

Cybersecurity has afforded me a front and leading role in transforming organizations as they adopt new technologies. It's been as much about architecture, business cases, up-skilling, and reorganizing as it has been about safeguards, compliance, and governance.

I've navigated organizations through service oriented architecture, mobile computing, cloud computing, and now AI.

It takes more than technical training or even leadership (both important); it also takes making sure that the people who are learning the skills know where they need to be on day 1 of "go live".

Building the operating picture and orienting the organization for it is my role.

Presently I am an Adjunct Professor at the University of Cincinnati and Associate Director of the Ohio Cyber Range Institute.

Ethan Heller

Ethan Heller

Ethan Heller has shaped his professional journey through discipline, steady focus, and thoughtful decision-making under pressure. At Lehigh University, he earned a Bachelor of Science in Business & Economics with a major in Finance and a minor in Management. He consistently earned Dean’s List honors and graduated with the highest academic honors.

During college, Ethan competed as a Division I baseball player and spent 20-25 hours/week on practice, games, and leadership development. Although an injury ended his athletic career, he remained involved in the sport by helping coaches use performance data to develop training strategies. This helped him learn how to simplify complex information and make decisions when conditions were uncertain.

Ethan's early private equity experience came through multiple internships, where he worked directly with senior management and portfolio company executives. He spoke with over 20 executives across different industries and learned how organizations think about growth, culture, and long-term direction. He also presented acquisition analyses directly to a CEO and contributed to product development discussions for a portfolio company. He completed pricing and industry analysis for a prototype product with multimillion-dollar implications.

After graduation, Ethan began his career at a private equity firm as a Project Specialist. His role centered on execution-focused work with measurable financial benefits across portfolio companies. He analyzed fuel usage and cost structures for aircraft operations and developed break-even models to improve flight activity and reduce inefficiencies. He also created an inventory system for nationwide consolidation, helping reduce costs and streamline operations.

Ethan later led a cost-reduction program that delivered over $300k in annualized savings and supported stronger cash flow and financial stability. He also provided daily liquidity analyses to maintain flexible capital allocation. During asset restructuring, he worked on financial planning and analysis for real estate deals across multiple states, helping guide decisions about purchases, sales, and long-term planning.

In 2025, Ethan joined LUMA Financial Group, where he works with clients in various industries. He uses financial modeling, budgeting, and performance tracking to help businesses understand key metrics and make clearer investment and operational decisions.

Ethan also founded and serves as managing partner of an investment holding company focused on traditional and alternative investments, including real estate, public markets, and cryptocurrency. He trades Nasdaq-100 futures contracts and is also the managing partner in a real estate holding company with residential and commercial properties in several states.

Ethan Heller also values purpose, service, and accountability. He has trained younger team members, supported charitable and humanitarian organizations, helped with food insecurity initiatives, and spoken with donors about international programs for orphaned children.
