Medha Chakraborty

I’m an engineering leader who loves building scalable, reliable systems that make a real difference. At BlackRock, I lead application development within Aladdin, focusing on creating impactful solutions that connect technology with business outcomes.

Java has been my constant, and I’m deeply curious about how emerging technologies—especially AI—are transforming the way we design and build software. I also lead the Java SIG at BlackRock Atlanta, where I bring developers together to learn, share, and innovate.

For me, technology is as much about people and creativity as it is about code. Speaking at events like Devnexus is my way of giving back to the community that shaped my journey.

Catherine Jones

Catherine Jones

Hey there! I'm Catherine Jones, CEO and Transaction Coach at Zuzi Strategies, where I guide clients through high-stakes transactions as a coach, business advisor, and mentor all rolled into one. With over 25 years of experience navigating complex deals, I've been involved in transactions exceeding $72 billion. From debt restructuring with two restraining orders blocking the deal to managing transactions during a coup and counter-revolt, I've even closed deals while governments were in complete turmoil!

My career has spanned the globe, dealing with everything from managing transactions during political upheavals to assessing how deal disclosures might impact presidential elections in an island nation. I'm fluent in Spanish and interned on the Supreme Court of Argentina. And if you think US deals are wild, try negotiating international transactions while governments are in turmoil!

I've recently transitioned to transaction coaching, recognizing that much of my time was spent delving into the psychology of deals. I was even called an "expensive therapist" by a legal client! I serve as a sounding board and advisor to clients going through the emotional roller coaster of high-stakes transactions, keeping my clients true to their end goals and values in that chaos.

Now, I'm thrilled to share my expertise with you. Join me at "Unlocking Your Startup Toolbox: Mastering the Mix of Funding Tools for Success" in the Money Track, where I'll explain the variety of funding options available to startups (it's not just loans and VCs) and how to navigate the funding maze, drawing from my own wild deal experiences and those of others. Let's explore actionable insights together and pave the way for your startup's success.

And don't miss me in the Fun Track at "The Ultimate Entrepreneurial Challenge: Pivot, Balance, Succeed" where we'll put entrepreneurial skills to the test in a completely different way!

Oh, and when I'm not coaching clients through transformational deals, you can find me exploring the Western Slope, capturing moments through my lens, or lost in a good book. Let's connect, learn, and thrive together in Colorado's vibrant startup community!
