Angela Millan

Angela Millan is a nurse practitioner, nurse educator, and co-founder of Prismn Health Technologies. She has lived the readiness gap from every angle — as a new grad put on the floor after roughly 18 days of orientation, as a nurse practitioner navigating an even steeper learning curve, and as a clinical instructor watching capable students freeze at the bedside because they did not yet know what to do next. At Prismn she is building Nurse Hazel, a conversational AI clinical-reasoning tutor designed to help nurses rehearse judgment before they are alone in high-stakes moments — with a deliberately strict boundary on what AI should never do in patient care.

Katherine Tuominen

Katherine Tuominen is an organizational narrative strategist, marketing strategist, and publicist, and the founder of Catalyst Brand Strategy. She helps companies treat digital transformation as a trust event rather than a purely technical one, focusing on the friction between top-down executive directives and the lived realities of frontline workers. Her work centers on "narrative debt" — the cultural cost that accrues when an organization's stated values stop matching how work actually feels — and on helping leaders build psychological safety, resist "AI slop" in corporate communication, and stand up safe AI communications infrastructure that protects confidential data.
