Vicky Thomas - Vicky is the Head of Product Strategy at Lucid Software, makers of top-ranked productivity apps Lucidchart and Lucidpress.

She is passionate about bringing new ideas to life with teams of exceptional people.
Josh Penrod - I love carving out a space for great design to be done and building a culture focused on making great things. I invented that leaf you see on Ancestry.com commercials and was one of the three or so people that came up with and designed that entire family tree and hint system that really makes Ancestry.com what it is.
