Sandra Serkes
Sandra 'Sandy' Serkes is the co-founder, president and CEO of Valora Technologies, a Massachusetts software company that has spent more than 25 years teaching machines to read, sort and tag the mountains of documents that organizations forget they own. An MIT and Harvard Business School graduate, she built Valora's PowerHouse and BlackCat platforms into autoclassification tools used by legal, compliance, government and corporate teams to find sensitive information, retire 'dark data' and get ready for AI. She is also an adjunct professor at Columbia University, a frequent industry speaker, and a 2006 'Woman to Watch.'
Kon Leong
Kon Leong is the CEO and co-founder of ZL Technologies, a Milpitas-based enterprise software company he built from the ground up in 1999 to tackle the problem nobody else wanted to solve: the mountain of unstructured human data - emails, documents, messages - that sits at the center of every corporate compliance, legal, and AI challenge. A serial entrepreneur who migrated from China to India to Canada to the US, Leong brought a rare mix of deep IT engineering, Wall Street M&A finance, and startup grit to a market that was just waking up to its own data problem. Today, ZL Technologies serves Fortune 500 companies and government agencies across financial services, healthcare, and the public sector, with a platform that manages data in-place at speeds up to 1,000 times faster than conventional approaches.
