Marcell Ignéczi

Marcell Ignéczi

Co-founder and CEO of COMPUTD BV, with a BSc in Data Science and Knowledge Engineering, followed by an MSc in Data Science for Decision Making.

My mission is the democratization of Digitalisation. I envision a future where the digital revolution is inclusive, and Data Science and AI are accessible to all, not just a privileged few. At COMPUTD, our approach is simple yet profound: We chart a clear path from point A to B, providing tools that grow with you, from a bike to an aeroplane.

I've had the privilege of collaborating with giants like Mercedes-Benz, Nike, VDL Nedcar, and Boels, delivering impactful solutions tailored to their needs. From creating an intelligent workforce scheduler for a smaller enterprise to transitioning another from outdated tables to a state-of-the-art Azure data warehouse, my journey has been about making AI and Data Science meaningful and actionable.

As we stand on the cusp of a digital era, I see Digitalization as the linchpin of future businesses. But it's essential to tread wisely, leveraging AI not just as a buzzword but as a genuine solution to real-world challenges. My expertise particularly shines in sectors like Customer Service, Automotive, and Retail.

Outside the world of algorithms and data, I'm an avid Dungeons & Dragons player, a dog enthusiast, and above all, a staunch believer in the potential of people. Let's connect, collaborate, and drive the digital future together.

Melica Moshiri

Melica Moshiri

you may recognise me from this year's BBC The Apprentice.

I bring a unique blend of business leadership and media experience. Earlier this year, I appeared on BBC’s The Apprentice, reaching Week 8 with five wins including one as Project Manager, and a feature in the final episode. Following the show, I was invited to share my story on BBC News, BBC Radio 5 live, BBC South East, Manoto (Persian TV), and across multiple radio stations including BBC Radio Sussex, V2 Radio, and Greatest Hits Radio. I’ve also been featured in publications such as Daily Mail, Metro, The Mirror, The Sun, Recruiter Magazine, and Yahoo News.

As a speaker, I’ve delivered talks at Spotify, NBC Universal, and the University of Brighton (I will have completed a TedX Talk by the time this event is coming up, as it’s booked for October) covering topics including entrepreneurship, women in business, diversity and inclusion, how men can be great advocates for women, working in a male dominating industry such as recruitment, how to start a business, career independence, and the evolving AI landscape. I also host SkillTorch Disrupt, a podcast spotlighting stories of leadership and innovation within the tech and AI space.

Raised by a single father in an immigrant Persian household, I’ve always been fiercely independent. From buying my first property at a young age and now having 3, moving to Southern California alone in my 20s, to launching a business that works with global tech leaders, my journey reflects resilience, adaptability, and a passion for impact.

Chanel Adams

Chanel Adams

Chanél D. Adams is the founder of The Borderline Crisis and creator of Healing Pages, a transformative journal designed to help people with complex trauma and borderline personality disorder reconnect with their bodies, stories, and sense of sacred purpose. Through a unique blend of trauma-informed care, depth psychology, and soulful creativity, her work invites others into a safe, expansive space where healing is not just about symptom relief—but soul retrieval.

Certified in Trauma-Informed Coaching through The Centre for Healing, Chanél brings both professional training and lived experience to her work. As someone who has navigated the depths of severe BPD and complex trauma, she guides others with a rare combination of clinical understanding and personal insight. Her writing is deeply informed by somatic practices, archetypal psychology, and positive psychology, helping others reframe their struggles as initiations into deeper meaning and transformation.

She is also a guest contributor for the CPTSD Foundation, where she shares practices that help trauma survivors regulate their nervous systems, rebuild trust with their bodies, and access the healing power of writing. Her journal Healing Pages and upcoming workshop series create sacred containers for people—especially women navigating the aftermath of trauma—to rediscover their creative spirit, establish boundaries with compassion, and return home to themselves.

With a voice that is both grounded and visionary, Chanél offers a much-needed alternative to the pathologizing frameworks of mainstream mental health. Her message is clear: true healing is nonlinear, deeply personal, and always possible when we dare to face our pain with both tenderness and truth.

- Les difficultés d’alignement inter-équipes ou inter-directions
- Une gestion de portefeuille et priorisation obscures
- Un manque de maturité managériale des leads tech
- Une dette technique exorbitante qu'on ne sait plus résorber
- Des problèmes de qualité, fiabilité et rapidité des livraisons
- La dépendance critique à quelques collaborateurs indispensables
- Une agilité en panne (on voit ce que ça coûte, on ne voit pas bien les bénéfices)
- Des effets ciseau run/build en période de changement rapide (construire et maintenir simultanément)
