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.

Alan O'Shanghnessy

Alan O'Shanghnessy

I'm a Solution Architect working in New Zealand's banking sector, and I consult and advise on AI, Data, and Enterprise Architecture. I've spent years designing and delivering technology solutions in enterprise environments. Some of them worked beautifully. Some of them taught me more than I expected.

That's probably the most honest thing I can say about my experience: I've been close enough to the mistakes to understand why they keep happening. Organizations that over-invest in credentials while under-investing in trust. Teams that confuse effort with progress. Leaders who chase tooling trends and wonder why the business outcomes never follow. I've been in those rooms. I've made some of those calls myself.

What I bring to a stage is not a framework or a methodology. It's pattern recognition from delivery, the kind you only get from building things, watching them break, and figuring out what actually went wrong (not what the post-mortem said went wrong).

My advisory work sits at the intersection of technology strategy and business performance. I work with executives and technical leaders on enterprise data and AI maturity, cloud architecture, and the operating model decisions that quietly determine whether a technology investment delivers value or just burns budget. I also advise individuals and businesses on performance improvement, because, in my view, the same patterns that stall organizations tend to stall careers.

I'm currently pursuing a Master's at MIT and I hold Azure architecture certifications. But I'll be the first to say: credentials open doors. Trust is what keeps you in the room.

I speak on common mistakes in AI and data strategy, enterprise architecture anti-patterns, and the gap between what organizations plan and what they actually ship.
