Jeremy Rosenholtz is an American educator, administrator, and writer whose career in independent schools spans more than three decades. His professional life reflects a steady commitment to English education, student development, and college guidance. Rather than pursuing rapid advancement, his path has been defined by consistency, responsibility, and long-term service within academic institutions across the United States. Raised in Laramie, Wyoming, Jeremy developed an early interest in reading, writing, and thoughtful inquiry. These interests shaped his academic direction and later influenced his approach to teaching and mentorship. His early experiences helped establish a foundation for working closely with middle- and upper-school students, emphasizing clarity, discipline, and respect for learning. Jeremy Rosenholtz earned a Bachelor of Arts in English from Amherst College in 1991, graduating Phi Beta Kappa and receiving an Amherst College Merit Fellowship for graduate study. While at Amherst, he competed in national-level debate and placed tenth among American teams at the World Debate Championships in Scotland in 1990. He later completed a Master of Arts in Teaching in English at Smith College, focusing on literature, pedagogy, curriculum development, developmental psychology, and learning differences. Additional coursework at Teachers College, Columbia University, and participation in the Klingenstein Summer Institute Fellowship further prepared him for leadership roles in independent schools. His professional career began in publishing as an assistant editor at Penguin Books in New York, where he managed projects from acquisition through publication. He soon transitioned into teaching, beginning his career in education at St. Andrew’s School in Florida. There, he taught English and founded the school’s Speech and Debate program, which earned national recognition within a few years. From 1997 to 2014, Jeremy Rosenholtz worked at the Ethical Culture Fieldston School in New York, serving as an English teacher, college counselor, middle school team leader, dean, and trustee. During this time, he cofounded and directed the Fieldston Summer Service Institute, an academic and service program for underserved students in the Bronx that was featured in The New York Times. Later roles included a teaching appointment at Phillips Academy and service as Director of College Guidance at Newton Country Day School, where he also taught English and oversaw senior projects. Outside his professional responsibilities, he contributes quietly to educational and environmental initiatives. Jeremy lives outside Boston with his wife, two daughters, and a Golden Retriever.

Most leaders inherit cultures they did not build. They are told to transform organizations while managing people who have been doing things the same way for decades. They face resistance, burnout, and the quiet skepticism of teams who have watched other change efforts fail. Felice Upton knows how to break through. As Assistant Secretary for Juvenile Rehabilitation in Washington State, she led 1,100 employees across 11 locations with a $180 million budget. Within her tenure, use-of-force incidents dropped 40 percent. Program participation exceeded targets by 100 percent. Staff-driven innovation replaced institutional inertia. She did not achieve these results by ignoring resistance. She transformed it. Her secret is disarmingly simple: people change systems when they feel seen, heard, and trusted to be part of the solution. Felice developed the "Just Us" framework to help leaders build cultures where accountability and compassion work together instead of against each other. Where data drives decisions without dehumanizing people. Where staff retention improves because people actually want to stay. Before her executive role, Felice spent years on the front lines of organizational life, learning what motivates people to give their best and what drives them out the door. She has managed volunteers, coordinated community partnerships, investigated complex workplace issues, and coached leaders through crisis after crisis. A TEDx speaker and nationally recognized voice on leadership and culture, Felice has been featured on NPR, Lifetime Television, and at conferences nationwide. She holds degrees from the University of Washington and serves as a Performance-Based Standards Coach for the Center for Improving Youth Justice. Through her consultancy, Just Us by Felice Upton LLC, she works with organizations ready to stop managing dysfunction and start building cultures that perform. Because here is the truth: the hardest part of leadership is not strategy. It is getting people to move together. Felice knows how. You have a culture problem you think you cannot fix. You have inherited a team you did not build. You are being asked to transform something while managing people who have watched change efforts fail before. I know that weight. I also know what it takes to move through it. I spent 20 years learning how to build trust in environments where trust was scarce, how to hold people accountable without losing them, and how to create cultures where people perform because they want to, not because they have to. The hardest part of leadership is not strategy. It is getting people to move together when they have every reason not to. I do not just speak. I equip leaders to build cultures worth staying for.

Dr. Eugene Manley Jr., a cancer scientist, nonprofit founder, and health equity strategist who cares as much about people as he does about data. He works with hospitals, cancer centers, nonprofits, and campuses that know inequity is a problem and are ready to do something practical about it. Eugene started out in mechanical and biomedical engineering, then moved into molecular and cell biology with a focus on lung and breast cancer. Over the years he shifted from the bench to program leadership and, eventually, to founding the SCHEQ Foundation, which was recognized with the 2025 Best STEM Diversity and Cancer NPO Award. Through SCHEQ, he has helped build plain-language lung cancer infographics, a patient education portal, the “Just Breathe: SCHEQing on Lung Cancer” and “Lung Cancer Solutions” webinar series, and an annual Lung Cancer Health Equity Summit that brings together patients, clinicians, advocates, and community leaders. His interest in equity isn’t theoretical. After reconstructive foot surgery, his medical record described him as far more mobile and far less in pain than he actually was. Those notes were used to deny a level of care he genuinely needed. As a Black man, a first-generation scholar from Detroit, a caregiver for his grandparents, and someone who is neurodivergent, he has seen from multiple angles how health and education systems can quietly write people off. That experience shows up in how he talks about documentation, bias, communication, and trust. On stage, Eugene mixes lived experience, science, and straight talk. He speaks about cancer and health equity, lung cancer disparities and biomarker testing, rebuilding trust and communication in clinical settings, the business side of equity work, and real-world pathways into STEMM and health careers for first-generation and underserved students. Audiences don’t just get a moving story; they leave with specific ideas they can try in their own clinics, classrooms, and organizations.

Denis Atlan intervient comme conférencier et conseiller auprès de dirigeants qui veulent sortir du discours vague sur “l’IA” pour se concentrer sur ce qui produit réellement du résultat. Basé à Lyon, il travaille avec des TPE, PME et ETI qui cherchent à gagner en productivité, en qualité de service et en clarté stratégique grâce à l’IA générative et à l’automatisation. Il a piloté plus de 200 projets IA sur le terrain, dans des contextes très différents : prospection commerciale, service client, back-office, reporting, finance, marketing, RH. Cette expérience alimente une base de données de retours d’usage et un travail de formalisation qu’il a structuré dans un livre consacré à l’IA en entreprise, ainsi que dans des contenus audio et des formations. En conférence, Denis privilégie les cas concrets, les démonstrations live et les repères simples pour décider : quels usages prioriser, quels risques surveiller, comment organiser la coopération entre humains et IA. Son style est direct, pédagogique et orienté décision : il aide les équipes dirigeantes à clarifier où l’IA crée de la valeur, et où elle ne fera que consommer du temps et de l’énergie.
