Kenneth Shen is the founder of Pigment, a career assessment platform built on a simple observation: most people don't actually know what they're good at. Throughout his career, most recently as CEO of Half Past Nine (acquired by Publicis Groupe) and as a founder of multiple technology startups, Kenneth kept encountering the same pattern. Talented, hardworking people were forcing themselves through careers that were poor fits for their natural strengths, because no one had ever helped them understand what those strengths were. That realization led to Pigment who's mission is straightforward: help people discover what they're genuinely good at, then use that insight as a compass to find work where they'll be fulfilled and happy. Not work that looks good on paper. Not work that pays well but feels hollow. Work that fits who they actually are. Since launching Pigment, thousands of professionals from burned-out tech workers to people stuck in the wrong industry, have gained clarity about their strengths and found careers aligned with how they naturally operate. Kenneth also advises early-stage startups and invests in mission-driven enterprises.

Dr. Julie Donley helps leaders stay calm under pressure, reduce workplace stress, and lead more effectively by understanding human behavior. With more than 30 years of experience in behavioral health, executive nursing leadership, and developing leaders who know how to engage, influence, and get results through people, she brings a rare depth of insight into why people behave the way they do, and what great leaders can do about it. Her career began in psychiatric nursing, where she worked with people in emotional crisis. There she learned that human behavior isn’t logical; it’s emotional. And emotional reactions, unmanaged, are what cause conflict, miscommunication, disengagement, and toxic work environments. Later, as a Director of Nursing in behavioral health, she led teams through rapid change, staffing challenges, and organizational restructuring—real-world pressure that tested every leadership principle she thought she knew. It was there she developed her belief that leadership isn’t about authority; it’s about emotional mastery and relationship intelligence. Today, Dr. Donley coaches executives and leadership teams across industries, helping them lead with emotional intelligence, build healthy team dynamics, and eliminate the friction that slows performance and damages culture. She is also a dynamic keynote speaker known for delivering content with clarity, energy, and substance, blending real stories with practical strategies leaders can use immediately.
