​Speakers:

​Andrew Ackerman — a two-time successful startup founder | an Investor in Property Tech and Construction tech | a Professor of Entrepreneurship | the author of "An Entrepreneur's Odyssey."

​Rebecca Pino, MBA — "Even with access to every investment tool and strategy imaginable, I still didn’t understand my own financial behavior. That realization became the foundation for Money Her Way — and ultimately Inertia, a system built around one belief: sustainable wealth isn’t about discipline, it’s about designing systems that work with human behavior."

​Kajal Ashar — with 17 years of experience with UX and product development at Fortune 500 companies, Ashar will speak of the ethics of AI and its impact on product development.

​Mike Roth — Mike Roth has spent 12 years leading engineering teams at Flow.io and then, after the acquisition, Global-e.com. He was an eye witness to the rollercoaster ride of rapid growth: the challenges of delegation and the transformation of team dynamics as the team moved from 5 to 50 to 120 engineers.
