Ciao Pythonistas! 🐍 This month we shake things up with an incredible lineup. We have not one, not two, but three experienced developers who are now working as Engineering Managers, Heads of, or even VPs of Data, AI and Generative AI in large organisations. Not only that, but we're changing the format. This time, rather than a talk, we will engage in a panel - with open QA from the public about their experience, challenges and perspectives. Don't expect a one-sided panel: we will discuss themes ranging from data and AI governance, how to ship AI solutions that work in large enterprises and manage stakeholders, but also how to organise a team given how much GenAI and coding agents have changed the way we do our job. **Parvaneh Shiafiei, AI Manager @ TUI Musement** **Alberto Danese, Head of Data Science & Advanced Analytics @ Nexi** **Marco Santoni, Data Platform and Engineering Manager @ TeamSystem** **Parvaneh Shiafiei** is an AI Manager with over 10 years of experience delivering AI solutions that drive real business impact. She currently works at TUI Musement in the travel industry, where she focuses on improving both internal and customer-facing processes through AI, developing and scaling solutions in production, including GenAI applications. Working closely with cross-functional teams across product, engineering, and business, she helps translate AI capabilities into practical solutions such as conversational AI for customer interactions, GenAI tools that streamline internal processes, and ranking and recommendation systems that improve product discovery. Before joining TUI, she spent several years in consulting, helping organizations across industries identify high-impact AI use cases and bring AI solutions into production. **Alberto Danese** is the Head of Data Science & Advanced Analytics at Nexi, where he oversees the design and production of AI/ML systems for the digital payments sector, leading four teams across analytics and engineering. He has over 15 years of experience in data science applied to financial services. He is a Kaggle Competitions Grandmaster and regularly shares projects and insights on ML, AI, and data systems through talks, open-source projects, and his blog, *All About Data*. **Marco Santoni** is a Data Platform and Engineering Manager at TeamSystem, where he works on scalable data platforms, AI-enabled data products, and data governance architectures. Based in Milan, he is an active member of Python Milano community and co-host of the Intervista Pythonista podcast. He is also involved in education as Technical and Scientific Advisor at ITS Rizzoli, where he teaches data and software engineering topics. **🙏 Sponsors** A big thank you to **NumFOCUS** for supporting our community!

Free at Bexley Library Adventures in Ecological Horticulture with Rebecca McMackin Wednesday, March 18 1:00pm - 2:30pm Gone are the days when a garden could be ornamental alone. We now recognize the impact that our land care practices have on the ecosystems around us, and can see the importance of encouraging biodiversity. Thankfully, we do not need to sacrifice beauty when we invite butterflies and songbirds into our gardens. Rebecca McMackin has cultivated gorgeous landscapes in the toughest environments possible: urban parks, school playgrounds, and the sidewalks of New York City. She will take lessons from her work at Brooklyn Bridge Park, the Brooklyn Museum, and decades of research to share how those of us who are fortunate enough to care for land, can do it beautifully and ecologically. Rebecca McMackin is an ecologically obsessed horticulturist and garden designer. She writes, lectures, and teaches on ecological landscape management and pollination ecology, as well as designs the rare public garden. She is currently Lead Horticulturist for the American Horticultural Society, an Associate with the Harvard Divinity School’s Thinking with Plants and Fungi Initiative, and Consulting Arboretum Curator for Woodlawn Cemetery in the Bronx, NY. Rebecca spent a decade as Director of Horticulture of Brooklyn Bridge Park, where she managed 85 acres of diverse parkland organically. Their research into cultivating urban biodiversity and ethical management strategies has influenced thousands of people and entire urban parks systems to adopt similar approaches. She has been published by and featured in the New York Times, Gardens Illustrated, on NPR and PBS. Her garden for the Brooklyn Museum recently won the PPA’s Award of Excellence and her TED Talk has been viewed over a million times. She holds M.Sc. from Columbia University and University of Victoria in landscape design and biology and recently completed the Loeb Fellowship at the Harvard Graduate School of Design. This program is presented in partnership with Rooted in Bexley and generously funded by the Bexley Community Foundation and Bexley Community Author Series Fund.

**Confidence & Connection: Using Your Authentic Truth to Find Your People** Confidence isn’t just about believing in yourself, it’s about knowing where you belong and who you can grow alongside. In this April Confidence Lab Happy Hour, we’ll explore how living in your authentic truth helps you find your people, build meaningful collaborations, and create spaces where vulnerability is met with respect rather than risk. Together, we’ll reflect on what it looks like to advocate for yourself with clarity and care, and how confidence deepens when it’s rooted in connection rather than comparison. Featured speaker **Lachandra Baker**, founder of **[LBB Edutainment](https://www.lbbedutainment.com/)** and author of *Your Own Biggest Cheerleader*, will share reflections on authenticity, psychological safety, and the power of community over individual achievement. Drawing from personal stories—including the significance of turning 53—Lachandra will invite us into a conversation about showing up fully, being seen, and choosing relationships that support who you truly are. Expect a warm, welcoming atmosphere with space for reflection, shared insight, and intentional connection—plus drinks, light bites, and the kind of conversations that remind you you’re not meant to do this alone. Come as you are. Leave feeling clearer about your voice, your people, and the confidence that grows when both are aligned. **What is Confidence Lab?** Confidence Lab is a monthly community experience for bold, thoughtful leaders building confidence from the inside out. Whether you’re launching a business, leading a team, navigating change, or simply striving to show up more fully—you belong here. Our work demands clarity, courage, and conviction—but the pace of daily life can erode our sense of self. Confidence Lab creates space to reflect, reconnect, and grow with others doing purpose-driven work. It’s designed for entrepreneurs, nonprofit leaders, creatives, corporate professionals, activists, and anyone ready to lead with authenticity and impact. ***Please note:*** *All are welcome! If cost is a concern, please use promo code PUBLIC to access a free ticket—we want you to join us.*
