Keynotes:
Ryan Reynolds, beyond his work on the Deadpool movie franchise and other acting roles, has become recognized for his strategic approach to building and elevating brands. His ventures Aviation American Gin and Mint Mobile were sold in major acquisition deals and helped earn him a reputation for transforming companies through bold marketing. His work revitalizing the Welsh soccer team Wrexham AFC and expanding his production and creative agency Maximum Effort has further demonstrated his ability to blend cultural insight with sharp business instincts.
Richard Galanti brings nearly four decades of financial stewardship at Costco, where he became known as the “voice of Costco” for his candid leadership on earnings calls and his steady hand guiding the company through growth, market and regulatory shifts, and evolving consumer expectations. Galanti retired from Costco in 2025. His long tenure—marked by consistent operational discipline and customer‑centric strategy—has made him one of the most respected figures in retail finance.
