Trauma-Informed Leadership Keynote Speaker & Founder, Chefalo Consulting
Michigan, United States
Shenandoah Chefalo is a keynote speaker, trauma-informed leadership consultant, and founder of Chefalo Consulting. She helps organizations strengthen culture, retention, and performance by translating trauma-informed principles into practical leadership behaviors and systems—what leaders say, what teams do, and what organizations reinforce. Known for high-impact storytelling paired with clear implementation, Shenandoah equips leaders to reduce burnout, build psychological safety, and create accountability that is firm, fair, and human-centered. Her work is especially relevant to organizations serving the public, government agencies, K–12 and higher education, courts and corrections, child welfare, public safety, public health, and mission-driven nonprofits—where stress exposure and secondary trauma are common, and culture directly affects outcomes. Shenandoah is the author of Garbage Bag Suitcase, a memoir rooted in her childhood experiences in foster care, and she brings that lens into the workplace with professionalism and purpose: not as inspiration alone, but as a blueprint for sustainable change. Her audiences leave with language, tools, and next steps they can apply immediately. Whether they are leading a frontline team, managing a department, or reshaping an organizational culture. Shenandoah speaks on trauma-informed and healing-centered leadership, resilience without toxic positivity, difficult conversations, culture change, and building workplaces where people can thrive and deliver results.

Erin Jones-Wesley doesn't fit neatly into any one box — and that's exactly the point. She is a media personality, creator, podcast host, speaker, and founder of EJW Media. She holds an MFA from the American Film Institute Conservatory and a BA from California State University, Long Beach, and she was the first woman in her family to earn either degree. But her story didn't start in a classroom or a writers' room. It started on a pitcher's mound. Erin earned a full athletic scholarship to Cal State Long Beach, where she became a Division I NCAA softball pitcher, broke program records that still stand today — 728 strikeouts, 84 wins, and 148 appearances — and was later inducted into the university's Athletics Hall of Fame. She went on to play professionally, earning a bronze medal on the international stage and a platform as an ESPN color analyst. That career taught her everything Hollywood later confirmed: that excellence is a habit, that preparation is the only shortcut, and that the people who last are the ones who do the work before anyone is watching. When Erin pivoted to entertainment, she brought that same discipline with her. She built her way into Hollywood with no industry connections — just an AFI recommendation from a former studio head and an unwavering belief that she belonged in the room. At AFI, she didn't just earn her MFA. She also competed as Miss Santa Monica USA, placing 2nd Runner Up at Miss California USA in January 2020 — a detail that tells you everything you need to know about how Erin moves through the world: fully, and on multiple fronts at once. She became a Creative Executive at Lionsgate, where she developed an eclectic and ambitious slate of projects: the psychological thriller The Housemaid, the Michael Jackson biopic Michael, the star-studded Another Simple Favor, and Now You See Me Now You Don't, among others. She understood early that the best stories don't just entertain — they move people, shift culture, and leave something behind. Along the way, she co-founded The 42 Initiative, a nonprofit that raised over $1 million and brought Little League baseball back to Inglewood — because access to the game that shaped her should never be a privilege. In 2025, Erin made a deliberate choice to leave the traditional Hollywood ladder and build something entirely her own. Today, EJW Media reaches over 3 million people monthly across TikTok and Instagram, with an audience of adults ages 18 to 44 who come for the pop culture commentary and stay for the perspective. Warm, witty, and deeply informed, Erin covers film, television, reality TV, the creator economy, and the cultural moments that matter — the way you would with your most plugged-in friend. She co-hosts Like Us Pod, a RHOBH recap podcast with her sister Danielle, and has appeared as a guest on Bravo While Black, Breaking Into Hollywood with James Lott, and The Bravo Investigator. She has spoken at Comic-Con panels, film industry events, high school career days, and softball opening ceremonies, carrying the same message to every room: the ladder is real, the climb is worth it, and you don't have to look like anyone who came before you to reach the top. Erin Jones-Wesley is what happens when a Hall of Fame pitcher, a Hollywood insider, and a natural-born storyteller decide to stop waiting for permission.

I'm Erez Yalon, VP of Cybersecurity Technology at Pentera. I work where security researchers meet real attackers. The idea that drives the work is simple: hack yourself before they do. Find what breaks under real attack, then fix it before an adversary gets the chance. Previously, I founded Checkmarx Zero, the offensive and defensive research division I grew into a team of brilliant people across four countries. The throughline hasn't changed: turning "interesting in theory" into "actionable in production." We track how modern attacks actually work, reproduce and analyze them end-to-end, and translate those findings into practical detections and guidance that developers and security teams can use at scale. I speak because I enjoy turning the messy, fast-moving reality of security into something people can apply immediately. My sessions are attacker-perspective, threat-model-driven, and usually include demos or tabletop walk-throughs, with clear takeaways for both engineers and leadership. No hype, no fear marketing, and no vendor pitch, just what breaks, how it breaks, and what to do about it. I'm the founder of the DEF CON AppSec Village and a co-leader of the OWASP API Security Project, along with other community initiatives. If you are building a track around AppSec, API security, software supply chain security, or AI security, I'd love to help your audience leave smarter. Topics I cover often: - AI security: LLM, MCP, and agentic app security, including real-world abuse patterns - API security: modern AppSec, with testing strategies that scale - Software supply chain attacks, malicious packages, and OSS risk reduction - CI/CD and build system attack surfaces Speaking engagements (newest to oldest): - BSides Porto 2026 - Porto, Portugal - FOST / apidays New York 2026 - New York City, NY, USA - DeveloperWeek 2026 / AI DevWorld 2026 - San Jose, CA, USA - Agentic AI Summit 2025 - New York City, NY, USA - Software Supply Chain Security Summit 2024 - Las Vegas, NV, USA - AI Risk Summit 2024 / CISO Forum 2024 - Half Moon Bay, CA, USA - Attack Surface Management Summit 2024 - Online - OWASP Global AppSec 2024 - Lisbon, Portugal - OWASP Netherlands 2024 - Online - NMFTA Guardians of the Gateway 2024 - Online - NMFTA Cybersecurity Conference 2024 - Cleveland, OH, USA - Open Source Summit North America 2023 - Vancouver, BC, Canada - API Specifications Conference 2022 - San Francisco, CA, USA - RSA Conference 2022 - San Francisco, CA, USA - RSA Conference 2021 - Online - OWASP Singapore 2021 - Singapore - RSA Conference 2020 - San Francisco, CA, USA - API World 2019 - San Jose, CA, USA - Global AppSec 2019 - Amsterdam, Netherlands - Global AppSec 2019 - Washington, DC, USA - OWASP AppSec US 2018 - San Jose, CA, USA - DEF CON 26 IoT Village 2018 - Las Vegas, NV, USA - BSides Las Vegas 2018 - Las Vegas, NV, USA - Nullcon 2018 - Goa, India - CyberWeek TLV 2018 - Tel Aviv, Israel - OWASP AppSec EU 2017 - Belfast, Northern Ireland, UK - OWASP AppSec IL 2016 - Rishon LeZion, Israel

Michel Alimasi is a London-based strategic adviser working across philanthropy, international affairs and public policy. His subject is how power, incentives and institutional constraint shape what organisations can see, choose and do, and how the same rigour usually reserved for managing risk can be turned toward finding opportunity. He is most useful in rooms where competing interests, incomplete evidence and institutional ambition meet. What he speaks about: Power and strategy: how interests and incentives shape what institutions actually do, as distinct from what their strategies say. Decision-making under uncertainty: how organisations make consequential choices when the evidence is incomplete and no single actor controls the outcome. Collective action and convening: how to build productive exchange across unequal power, and how to design rooms where difficult conversations can actually happen. BACKGROUND Michel leads advisory project for funders and public-interest organisations including Comic Relief's Global Majority Fund, Impact on Urban Health, Citizens UK and Trussell. He is a Senior Consultant at the Curiosity Society and an Associate Fellow with Reos Partners, working on ecosystem mapping and institutional change. He holds an MSc in Development Management from the London School of Economics and Political Science, and an MA in International Relations and Diplomatic Affairs from the University of Bologna. He is a Fellow of the Royal Society of Arts and an Aspen Institute UK Rising Leader Fellow, and co-founded Common Futures Conversations with Chatham House and Robert Bosch Stiftung. Formats and languages: Keynotes, workshops, panels, moderated conversations, webinars and closed-door strategy sessions. He works in English and Italian, with working French and Spanish, and is based in London. Full background and current writing: michelalimasi.com

I work at the intersection of systems, leadership, and human behavior. My work helps organizations move beyond blame, burnout, and stalled execution by redesigning the systems that shape how people actually work. I focus on clarity over charisma, infrastructure over motivation, and accountability that strengthens—not erodes—trust. Across industries and cultures, leaders face the same quiet challenge: good people working inside systems that make progress harder than it needs to be. My talks help leaders see those systems clearly and redesign them with intention.
