Networking & speaker session with a full dinner included. Secure your seat now! Only 20 open spots are available for this private gathering.\*\*
Join IFL Toronto on March 24th, as we bring together 35 of Canada's next generation of leaders for an intimate discussion on securing the next era of domestic and global defence.
**Speaker Bio:**
**James Castle** is a global authority in advanced security systems, serving as Founder and Global Chairperson of Terranova Aerospace and Defense Group and Global Chairperson of the Cyber Security Global Alliance. His work focuses on securing the convergence of artificial intelligence, quantum technologies, and autonomous and uncrewed systems across defense, critical infrastructure, and civil applications.
Under Castle’s leadership, Terranova operates internationally at the intersection of AI assurance, quantum resilient security architectures, and drone and robotics systems, supporting governments, industry, and academic partners on safeguarding next-generation technologies before they are widely deployed. His teams specialize in building security by design frameworks that anticipate system misuse rather than reacting to failure.
Castle also leads global initiatives on AI trust governance, quantum safe communications, and responsible autonomy, shaping workforce development and cross-border standards through the CSGA Cyber AI Research Institute and the Center for the Safety of Artificial Intelligence. His work emphasizes human-centric security, ethical deployment, and operational resilience in environments where AI decision making, quantum systems, and autonomous platforms increasingly intersect.

It's a vibrant community of hermanas supporting and uplifting each other as they navigate their paths to leadership. A Columbus Business First Community Champion and Distinguished Hispanic Ohioan, her commitment to empowering others shows up everywhere she goes.
**Rachyl Kershaw** Founder of Greater Columbus Consulting and the architect behind the Confidence Lab Annual Summit, Rachyl has a gift for cutting through the noise, helping high-achievers stop performing success and start living it.
