      <image:caption>Stuart R. Chambers is Vice President of AI &amp; HPC Strategy at MCIM, a PE-backed SaaS platform serving hyperscale, colocation, and enterprise data center operators. He leads the company's strategy for the AI/HPC transition — market positioning, pricing, and go-to-market — as rack-scale AI reshapes density, deployment velocity, and operating requirements across the industry. He advises MCIM's executive team and private equity sponsors on market narrative and differentiation, and represents the company publicly on AI and data center infrastructure panels. A former U.S. Navy Nuclear Submarine Officer and certified Naval Nuclear Engineer, Stuart has spent more than twenty years leading high-availability operations, capital delivery, and commercial strategy in mission-critical environments. At Bank of America, he directed a 5M-sq-ft critical facilities portfolio and project-managed construction and commissioning of a $220M Tier IV data center. At JLL, he served as single executive point of contact for Capital One's corporate real estate — a 16M-sq-ft portfolio with a $150M operating budget and a 200+ person team — while sustaining 100% uptime across a 24x7x365 financial data center operation. In seven years at MCIM, Stuart founded and scaled the company's global Strategic Services organization from concept to a 15+ person team across North America, Europe, and APAC, then built its commercial operating system — ICP scoring across 4,000+ accounts, a sprint-based go-to-market methodology, and a full sales enablement curriculum — before being selected to lead AI/HPC strategy.</image:caption>

Her interest in the foundations of today's AI transformation deepened in 2018 while leading a technology team responsible for implementing automation and emerging digital capabilities.

Today, as Founder and CEO of Pierce Creative &amp; Consulting, Ida draws on more than 25 years of experience across technology, business systems, process, operations, and employee experience to help businesses and nonprofits navigate emerging technology and AI adoption with people at the center. As a member of the Board of Directors at AI Ready RVA, Ida also co-leads AI Governance cohort initiatives, bringing together technical expertise, human-centered design, and a commitment to responsible innovation.

      <image:caption>William Willis is the Executive Director of AI Ready RVA, a 501(c)(3) building the AI literacy and workforce infrastructure Greater Richmond needs to compete in an AI-driven economy. He helped found the organization, served as board chair, and in March 2026 became its first Executive Director and first full-time employee. He came to this work from inside enterprise AI. At Capital One's Center for Machine Learning and Artificial Intelligence, he led program management for AI and machine learning adoption across the enterprise, owning onboarding, deployment, and lifecycle management. Before that, twenty years in operations, quality control, and supply chain at Qimonda, CarMax, and Dominion Payroll taught him how systems actually scale, and how often they do not. Under his leadership, AI Ready RVA runs peer-led industry cohorts in healthcare, finance, law, cybersecurity, and manufacturing, convenes the region through Power of Possibility, and is developing an AI Innovation, Education, and Community Center in Richmond. A military brat raised across Air Force assignments in the United States and abroad, he has lived in Richmond for 29 years. He holds a Mini-MBA from the University of Richmond's Robins School of Business and a Lean Six Sigma Green Belt.</image:caption>
