Shama Keskar

Shama Keskar

Shama Keskar is a three-time founding CTO. But that is not where the story started.

She got into tech through the back door 🙂 Physics graduate. No CS degree. First job in the United States was cashier at a Big 5 sporting goods store in Silicon Valley. Broke into Google in 2004 as a QA engineer.

Then spent the next 15+ years scaling engineering across Google, LinkedIn, and Amazon – leading quality for Google's Online Advertising platform (scope: ~98% of company revenue), pioneering Alexa automation, launching Amazon Go and Amazon One as Amazon's first physical retail launches. Grew teams from 4 to 50+ engineers.

In 2021 she went founding CTO. And has not stopped since – Nickelytics (edge AI + computer vision for autonomous outdoor advertising), SignAI (real-time bidirectional ASL/English AI interpreter prototype demoed to Microsoft), and most recently co-founder & founding CTO of an AI-native fashion wholesale platform where she built the production document extraction system that hit 96% accuracy across live paying merchants.

Currently writing her first book The Trust Layer – building AI systems you can actually ship. Her thesis is simple – generation is solved, trust is the product. She writes about it publicly on Substack and speaks on it wherever engineering leaders will let her.

The through-line from QA engineer at Google to three-time founding CTO has always been the same – care about the boring engineering work everyone else skips. Evals, reliability, trust architecture, et al. Ship things that actually work in production.

Based in Seattle. Available for keynotes, panels, closed-door founder sessions, and technical deep-dives.

Karla Fernandes

Karla Fernandes

I began designing digital experiences in the late 1990s, when building for the web meant learning by doing. Early in my career, I worked across graphic design, branding, websites, portals, and e-commerce, developing a broad foundation that connected visual communication with technology and user experience.

Over time, I specialized in UX/UI and digital product design, leading projects for government institutions, startups, established businesses, and global clients. I built design systems, created scalable interfaces, and became the bridge between design, development, and business teams. This period shaped my belief that the best products come from clear process, structured thinking, and close collaboration.

Running my own business allowed me to work internationally, live in 11 countries, and deliver over 300 client projects. As tools evolved, I adopted no-code and modern prototyping workflows to accelerate time to market. This led to publishing 20+ native apps on iOS and Android and refining a repeatable method to go from idea to shipped product efficiently.

As my experience grew, so did my focus on teaching. I became a mentor, guiding designers and product builders through weekly one-on-one sessions, structured feedback, and practical career development. Over the years, I have mentored 70+ designers and supported more than 4,500 learners worldwide. Today, my work sits at the intersection of design, product, and education. I design and ship digital products, build frameworks and processes, and teach others to do the same as a team of one.

My mission is to make product creation accessible, structured, and achievable for individuals and small teams by combining design expertise, strategic thinking, and AI where it matters most.

From World Champion Karate to Sales Powerhouse: Now the go-to performance strategist for ambitious IT/Tech companies who want to be extraordinary!

Here’s the journey so far:

I started on the tatami, not in a business school.

As a 3x World Champion and 2x European Champion in karate, I trained to perform under pressure.
Where precision, discipline, and resilience weren’t optional. They were survival.
That mindset didn’t stay in sport. It became my edge in business.

I brought that exact mindset into Tech.

Over the past 23 years, I’ve sold over €150M in revenue, built and sold companies, and led high-performing teams.
By 27, I achieved financial freedom. At 35, I smashed quota during maternity leave.

Not because I did more… But because I did what mattered, with brutal clarity.

That’s what separates ordinary performance from extraordinary outcomes.

Today, I’m a keynote speaker and performance strategist for ambitious Tech companies.
I speak at global sales kickoffs, customer events, leadership summits, offsites, and high-growth team events.
Delivering bold, empowering, no-fluff talks that shift mindset and spark real action.
No sugarcoating. Just power, clarity, and practical frameworks that stick.

My approach blends performance psychology, sales strategy, storytelling that sells, and systems that scale. So teams don’t just get inspired, they get transformed.

I’m the author of High Performance Lifestyle, High Performance Sales, Kick-Ass, and I created The Kata Playbook: a high-performance operating model that helps teams think, train, and perform like elite athletes.


Because extraordinary isn’t an accident, it’s trained and build!

I work with founders who are scaling fast and hungry for clarity, CROs who want execution over excuses, sales leaders ready to build extraordinary teams, corporate teams stuck in the hustle cycle, and companies ready to ditch mediocrity and build legendary performance cultures.

You can work with me through speaking, accelerators, crafting extraordinary content, or by grabbing one of my books.


At Playbook.fm, my partner in crime and I dive deep with IT leaders and experts to uncover what it really takes to build next-level MSPs and IT service providers. Together, we’re shaping the ultimate performance playbook.

If you’re done with “good enough” and ready to train, think, and lead like an elite, let’s talk!

Because ordinary is forgettable.

And you weren’t built for that.

You were built for more. For impact. For extraordinary!

Wilson Guenther

Press: Featured in National Law Review and Atlanta Today, with syndication across the EIN Presswire network of 800+ outlets, and praised by industry analyst Jeff Kagan as "a clear example of how quickly the AI landscape is evolving and new opportunities are emerging" (March 2026).

Wilson Guenther is the Founder, CEO and CTO of Drivia — what Wilson calls "the personalization infrastructure of the AI era." Born in Port-au-Prince, Haiti, adopted at age 10 by an American family, Wilson arrived in the United States on New Year's Eve 2013. He taught himself to code in college and shipped 1,891+ commits across six live software products from his dorm room — no funding, no co-founders.

Drivia is the Canvas-class adaptive AI platform powering enterprise learning, higher ed, and public-sector workforce training. JAX, Drivia's adaptive AI tutor, runs Q-learning + Bayesian Knowledge Tracing on top of a UCB1 router across six AI models (Claude, Gemini, OpenAI, Grok, DeepSeek, Groq) with circuit breakers — co-architected with Frank Morales, a Boeing Fellow. Drivia is currently in active multi-million-dollar contract negotiation with TechServ Corporation as channel partner across healthcare, public safety, workforce, and city/county program markets. Accelerators: NVIDIA Inception, AMD Instinct, AWS Activate.

Wilson is also the author of the Drift Thesis — original IP on context decay and adaptive intelligence — and the System Architect newsletter on LinkedIn (16,100% growth in seven days). He has 2.2M+ combined social following (TikTok 1.1M, Instagram 633K, Facebook 471K) with one video at 44 million views, has appeared on Family Feud (Steve Harvey), Rich House Poor House (UK), and KVUE Austin News, and has consulted for Linktree and Beacons.

Wilson speaks on adaptive AI engineering, multi-model routing and inference cost engineering, the Drift Thesis (context decay, hallucination root cause), distribution as a moat for AI builders, and immigrant founder origin.

Andrew MacLean

Andrew is equal parts tech enthusiast, educator, and the kind of person who can’t resist pressing buttons just to see what happens (sometimes even twice). A former classroom teacher with nearly a decade of experience crafting learning experiences for techies of all ages, he traded chalkboards for the keyboards of the tech industry in 2020 and hasn’t looked back. Since then, he’s worn many hats—Community Manager, Developer Advocate, and now Developer Educator at Twilio—where he helps developers connect the dots between imagination and implementation. When he’s not building (or breaking :sweat_smile:) things with tech, you’ll find Andrew soaking up the west coast vibes on Vancouver Island, Canada—where he tries (and often fails) to look outdoorsy.
