Katerina Karagianni

I've spent 18+ years making digital products work better for the people who actually use them, and for the businesses that build them.

At K Consulting, I work with teams across industries on the full range of UX: strategy, qualitative research, information architecture, and experience design. I'm brought in when teams need to move from assumptions to evidence, and from design decisions to outcomes they can measure. I also regularly deliver UX, Usability and CX training sessions for professional teams, helping them build practical skills and apply user-centered thinking in their everyday work.

More recently, I have developed a strong interest in the impact of AI on the UX field, exploring how AI is changing how we design, what we design, and who we design for.

Before going independent, I founded UXlab at Atcom in 2012 - one of Greece's first dedicated UX units inside a digital agency. At the time, UX was still fighting for a seat at the table, and we helped change that.

My background spans across performance marketing, ecommerce, and digital strategy, co-founding Linkwise (still Greece's largest performance marketing network), running an ecommerce venture called Days4u from 2007, and serving as Head of Digital Strategy at Atcom.

My past experience shapes how I approach UX: not as an isolated discipline, but something with real consequences for the bottom line.

From paintbrushes to Power BI 🎨📊, my path blends art and analysis: I studied hairdressing, special effects makeup, and fine arts, and today I analyze data in a call center. Where I once created imaginary worlds, I now use my imagination to innovate with KPIs, dashboards, and strategic decisions 💡. I still tell stories, but with data as the protagonists. Because creativity isn't abandoned… it transforms 🚀

Can your organisation actually switch providers when it needs to?

Bas Brinkmann founded Dutch Governance Advisory to help organisations examine digital dependencies, decision-making authority and the evidence needed to act.

His sessions explore practical questions: can data be reused elsewhere, is the necessary expertise available, and who can approve the cost and disruption of a transition? Participants leave with questions they can apply to one critical digital service.

Based in Barcelona, Bas is also the author of the unpublished Dutch manuscript ‘Besturen in digitale afhankelijkheid’ (Governing Digital Dependencies).

Arun Balakrishnan

Arun Balakrishnan

Arun Balakrishnan is the founder of **Nool**, an AI engineering control plane built for a future where software is increasingly written by fleets of coding agents.

A software engineer with 14 years of experience, Arun started building Nool after encountering the limits of using multiple AI agents on a large, complex software project. While agents made code generation dramatically faster, coordinating them introduced a different problem: architectural drift, lost context, conflicting changes, and decisions that failed to persist across agents and over time.

Nool emerged from that experience. It provides durable engineering context, impact awareness, policy guardrails, and cross-agent continuity so teams can control how their software evolves—not just how quickly code is generated.

Based in Berlin, Arun focuses on the emerging challenges of AI-native software development, multi-agent engineering systems, and how engineering organizations will need to change as autonomous agents become a significant part of the software development workforce.

Sachin Raja

Sachin Raja

Sachin is a Senior Software Engineer who spends his days wrangling Golang, AWS, Kubernetes, and the occasional Friday deployment he immediately regrets. He’s built and scaled backend systems for teams that like their platforms fast, reliable, and (mostly) drama-free.

Over the years, he’s worked on everything from multi-tenant migrations and CI/CD pipelines that actually behave, to backend services that don’t wake him up at 3 AM. He loves clean architecture, simple solutions to messy problems, and developers who write good commit messages.

When Sachin isn't deep in code, you’ll find him experimenting with side projects, helping teammates level up, or trying (and failing) to keep his local dev environment perfectly organized.
