  • Nelson Nigel, From Yellow Cab Driver in NYC to Successful Business Owner
    Jul 18 2026

    Nelson Nigel is the Founder and CEO of Moto Nation.

    Back in 2016 Nelson as an Uber driver noticed that taxis and car services do not offer installed child car seats, and parents are helpless.

    He found a void in the transportation marketplace that Uber and Lyft have explicitly left open.

    Nelson created a mobile app to provide a convenient and safe alternative to lugging car seats to and from airports to change how parents travel with small children.

    Today, Kidmoto is a trusted brand that connects parents to a network of professionally trained drivers that provide airport transfers with secured child car seats for safe and convenient airport travel in 52 US cities.

    After operating for 6 years Kidmoto has over 40k completed rides, 40 part-time employees, 500 independent drivers nationwide, over a 7-figure revenue for 2024 and is valued at $25 million.

His work focuses on helping companies move from average to elite by creating cultures where accountability is visible, standards are consistent, and performance improves because there is nowhere to hide.

  • Rebecca Homkes, Leaders Need to Stop Planning and Start Preparing
    Jun 20 2026

    Dr. Rebecca Homkes is an economist and high-growth strategy specialist who advises CEOs and executive teams focused on growth and success through uncertainty.

    Uncertainty isn’t new and we've pretty much "normalized" it at this point—but what’s different now is the stacking of uncertainty. Tariffs, AI disruption, shifting policy signals, and constant organizational change are all hitting leaders at once. The result isn’t just uncertainty—it’s chaos. And chaos has a cost.

    Dr. Homkes helps leaders understand why uncertainty is inevitable, but chaos is optional— and how the best leaders can build clarity, momentum, and growth even when the external environment is unpredictable and ever-changing.

    Dr. Homkes is a Lecturer at London Business School and Duke Corporate Executive Education, and the director of the Young Presidents' Organization (YPO) global Active Learning Program. She's also the author of Survive Reset Thrive and a frequent contributor on Bloomberg and CNBC

  • Ingrid Curtis, The Defining Leadership Challenge is Repositioning Companies from Digital-First to Data-First
    Jun 16 2026

    Ingrid Curtis -- she spent 17 years helping build one of the most ambitious digital transformation platforms in enterprise. She then became its CEO, and her first move was to say the whole thing needed to be rebuilt.

    She has a rare kind of credibility; she didn’t just form opinions about why enterprise aI initiatives keep failing, she helped build the infrastructure that’s now becoming the bottleneck. And rather than quietly course-correct, she’s calling it out openly.

    As CEO of Sparq, she’s repositioning the company from digital-first to data-first, and she believes this shift is about to become the defining leadership challenge in enterprise.
