Dr Neeti Tripathi

Dr Neeti Tripathi is Principal of CIDER International School in Bangladesh, where she leads a large Cambridge and national-curriculum school with a strong focus on innovation, wellbeing, and professional learning.

With nearly two decades of experience across Indian, Cambridge, IB and international contexts, she works at the intersection of AI, pedagogy, and school leadership.

Neeti is a Cambridge Programme Leader and a British Council Action Research Mentor and awardee, guiding educators across South Asia to design evidence-informed, technology-enabled classroom practices. She has designed a gamified open educational resource on teacher professional development, used by educators to build AI-ready, student-centred pedagogy through practical “missions” rather than one-off workshops.

As an international speaker, she brings a Global South perspective—showing how schools can use AI responsibly and creatively even in resource-constrained contexts, without losing the human heart of education.

Pawel Skiba

Pawel Skiba

Many times people told me that I should focus on one system or one programming language and become an expert in it. I never liked to listen to such advice.

During over 10 years of career as a SAP consultant, I worked on almost every SAP module ever released. My ABAP code written in Walldorf is probably still used by many companies. I hired, trained and managed tens of great technical consultants. Then I spent 6 years in the IoT and Edge AI business, building technical team while taking care of business development and delivering custom hardware solutions to clients on 4 continents, using (again) many technologies and programming languages.

Today I am still not an expert in a narrow domain, but thanks to that I am proud to join my mother company as someone with commercial experience and expertise in SAP, IoT, AI and Software Development, to take care of the entire technology stack and serve over 130 professionals as a Chief Technology Officer.
