Rakia was raised by a single mother in Portland, Oregon. On weekdays—after school—Rakia would spend her evening in a cubicle waiting for her mother to get off work. This is where Rakia got her first chance to enter data into a custom database; there was no turning back. At 15 years old, Rakia had convinced the Washington Hospital Center to hire her to help their billing department. After three months, the department reported an increase in accuracy, turn around, and detailed data. After one year of working there, Rakia produced the efforts of a five-person database team and moved their 78% paper process to 10% moving their billing system to over a 98% efficiency process in 2002. By 19, she was the founder of PinStripe Consulting, a database development firm. After delivering over 200 custom database solutions to Virginia and Washington, DC nonprofits, she launched Surge Assembly, a full-service software development firm focused on enhancing company revenues and resources. Her determination for better software-led her to build a custom solution for Starwood Hotels in 2006, making them on the first leading hotel, with virtual booking and room management. Credited with creating a more realistic approach to data, innovation, business development, and solution-based engineering, Finley continues to revolutionize how organizations and businesses utilize technology as a resource for enhancing exceptional growth. By 2010, Rakia had reinvented Surge Assembly with a focus on educating leaders on active engineering and software development, with an underlying emphasis on inclusion, diversity, executive mindfulness, and removing bias.

In 2015, Finley Co-Founded FIN Digital, a full-service senior-level development firm, building artificial intelligence, natural language processors, software, and hardware applications for over 300 founders and organizations. In 2018, Copper & Vine - a creative solutions agency in the business of reimagining - was formed as an augmentation of the FIN Digital work to blend Rakia's passions: architecting award-winning technologies, making companies that scale, and building brands that produce results.

I'm a passionate advocate for the power of habits to create thriving, high-performance employees and companies. I bring a new, challenging perspective to habit creation, employee well-being and what really drives competitive advantage for companies. I founded the Behavioral Research Applied Technology Laboratory (BRATLAB) to uncover which habits create health, happiness, security and performance for people, and our employer-focused consulting team, Habits at Work, literally puts habit creation to work to create high-performance organizations. I have 20+ years of leadership experience, having consulted with some of the world’s largest companies, including Shell Oil, McDonald's, Nokia, British Aerospace, Unilever, Blue Cross Blue Shield and many others. While my consulting experience is the source of many insights, my real passion is speaking. I have had the pleasure of speaking professionally about organizational performance at over 500 public and private events. Born and raised in South Africa, I've lived and worked on five different continents over the course of my career. I am adamant about helping companies flourish through the success of their people, rather than at their expense, and I'm eager to share my ideas with others.

Douglass spent the last five years leading executive communications at Mastercard, where he worked very closely with the CEO and other C-Suite executives. Before joining Mastercard, Douglass worked in Washington, DC for 20 years – mostly on Capitol Hill. Immediately prior to Mastercard, Dougalss was Senior Advisor and Speechwriter to U.S. Senator Olympia J. Snowe of Maine. While at Mastercard, Douglass worked on CEO speeches, keynotes, and fireside chats that were given at places ranging from the World Economic Forum at Davos, Mobile World Congress in Barcelona, the China Development Forum in Beijing, as well as many top business schools, including those at Harvard, Stanford, Yale, and New York University. Douglass left Mastercard earlier this year to pursue his obsession with the power of storytelling to differentiate brands and create competitive advantage. That obsession was born out of nearly two years of providing global storytelling workshops at Mastercard. It’s an obsession that has since taken the form of a company he founded – communicate4IMPACT, which specializes in storytelling training. Douglass was recently selected to join a roster of speakers for the virtual presentation company, Geniecast.com – a roster that includes business icons like Steve Wozniak, co-founder of Apple. With the advent of 5G (the next generation of wireless) and the Internet of Things, Douglass believes storytelling represents an even greater competitive advantage, not only when it comes to messaging that cuts through but also when it comes to putting the user experience at the center of product innovation and development.
