From North America, we had Diya Jolly, chief product officer of the identity security company Okta, and Michelle Zatlyn, cofounder and COO of the internet security company Cloudflare. From the Asia Pacific region, we had Winnie Lee, COO and cofounder of Appier, a Taiwan-based company that provides AI-based products to the marketing industry. From Europe, we had Vishal Marria, CEO of anti-fraud AI firm Quantexa, and Laura Urquizu, CEO of AI-enabled fraud detection startup Red Points.
