Award-winning technology executive with 20+ years of experience scaling global platforms and delivering multi-billion-dollar impact at Amazon and UniCredit. Expert in AI-driven digital transformation strategy, enterprise & platform architecture, organizational leadership and blending technical acumen with strategic business insight. Currently completing the Emerging CTO Programme at Imperial College Business School, focused on AI strategy, innovation governance, and digital transformation. Recognized for building high-performing international teams, driving operational excellence, and pioneering enterprise adoption of Machine Learning and Generative AI. I bring a rare combination of hands-on technical depth and C-suite strategic leadership, having personally built GenAI tools while scaling a 100+ person organization that delivered $7B+ in business impact. Unlike speakers who theorize about digital transformation, I've lived it, from writing code to presenting to executive boards, from founding ML teams to leading Amazon's expansion across European markets. My speaking draws from real-world battle scars: launching 100+ engineering-year projects, directing compliance initiatives protecting billions in revenue, and pioneering AI adoption in enterprises long before it was trendy.

Life doesn’t always follow a plan. Sometimes it changes direction without warning — and that’s exactly the territory Patti Bevilacqua speaks into with honesty, humor, and practical insight. Patti knows this work from the inside out. A diagnosis of multiple sclerosis shifted her world and required a rethinking of identity, pace, and what it means to find footing when the ground moves beneath you. Rather than offering quick fixes, her presentations create space for real reflection and grounded action. Audiences are invited to slow down, reconnect with themselves, and navigate change in a way that feels human and sustainable. Patti’s voice is clear and compassionate, punctuated with story and straight talk. She meets audiences where they are and helps them think differently about pressure, possibility, and purpose — even when life feels uncertain.

Noa Catharina is Co-Founder of Scalar, a data center infrastructure company building sustainable solutions for AI and advanced computing. She focuses on a problem the industry tends to skip over: how to actually build high-performance infrastructure without wrecking the planet in the process. Noa specializes in sovereign AI infrastructure, working with nations and enterprises to build computing capacity that doesn't compromise on data sovereignty or sustainability. Her technical background spans advanced computing architectures, distributed machine learning systems, and blockchain backed platforms. She helps organizations make infrastructure decisions that account for both performance requirements and long-term environmental realities. Her core argument is simple: infrastructure choices matter. The data centers powering AI involve real decisions about energy consumption, cooling systems, and resource allocation. These aren't afterthoughts, they shape what's actually possible to build and at what cost. She works to integrate these considerations into infrastructure planning from the start. Based between Amsterdam and the US, Noa has published on smart city development and sustainable infrastructure, pushing for technology systems that account for both capability and consequence.
