<p> Bob Langlois Founder Water Control Management www.water-controls.com (WCM) As an entrepreneur Bob has developed, managed and sold professional services practices in the property tax field where a large share of the revenue was contingency based with fees derived from identifying and delivering savings.

Bob has identified and developed a series of key relationships with industry partners to provide testing grounds for their new IoT technology and support proof of concept for these new market entrants. This passion for value creation and identifying trends that others have not yet embraced best demonstrate the impact Bob is able to deliver for his clients and various stakeholders within the communities he supports. As an Ideator, Bob excels in value creation where existing tools and solutions are redirected to a problem that often varies from the original intent of the solution.

<p> Yana Welinder founded Kraftful after working with the makers of thousands of connected products as Head of Product at IFTTT. She noticed the reason most IoT products are difficult to use is that hardware companies rarely use UX analytics in product development. With internet connectivity coming to every object around us, poor usability prevents connected devices from reaching mass adoption. Yana put together a team of Apple, Facebook, and Slack alumni to bring the data approach behind massively adopted software to the world of IoT. Kraftful is backed by Y Combinator, Samsung NEXT, Google, and many exceptional investors. In previous roles, Yana worked on disrupting manufacturing with digital production at Carbon and tackled free knowledge creation on Wikipedia. As a tech policy thought leader, she's published pieces about AI and biometrics in the New York Times, Harvard Journal of Law &amp; Tech, and a chapter in the Cambridge Handbook on Consumer Privacy. She's given talks at the White House, Yale, Stanford, and holds degrees from Harvard, USC, and LSE.</p>
