Kamber Parker Bowden

Kamber’s first job in the “real world” did not live up to expectations and left her with questions: “Why do so many of my peers have the same results (i.e., they leave or job-hop) in their first jobs, then their second jobs, and even their third jobs?” Like many founders, she took it upon herself to figure it out.

More than 7 years later, and still a young professional (“YoPro”), Kamber has not cracked the code for the entire workforce, but her team is supporting thousands of companies across the country that want an innovative approach to recruit, develop, and retain their future leaders.

The YoPro Know started as a blog and podcast and has now uncovered data from thousands of YoPros since 2018. They’ve identified what YoPros look for in the modern workforce and “decode” the myths and communication barriers between GenZ + Millennials, and their Experienced Professional counterparts in the workforce.

Today, YPK is an innovative consulting firm that uses our their own data and research to support companies looking to improve their recruiting and retention efforts of young professional talent.

Gary M. Shiffman, PhD

Gary M. Shiffman first inspired us with his journey at the 2023 GROK Conference. He caught our attention with bananas saving lives and kept it by catching bad guys with AI. We were left wondering how Gary made his way to Greenville, SC from Afghanistan and Washington, DC. And, we want to know more.

Gary is an economist, entrepreneur, and writer. Through his teaching, writing, various government and corporate roles, and entrepreneurial ventures, he has led the creation and adoption of Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning (AI/ML) applications in U.S. national security and financial institutions over the past two decades.

A Gulf War veteran and former national security professional in both the Pentagon and the Senate, he was appointed by the President of the United States to the position of Chief of Staff at U.S. Customs and Border Protection. As an academic, he has spearheaded social science contributions for DARPA research since 2009 and served as a professor at Georgetown University for two decades. He currently teaches Economics with the Clemson MBA program. He founded and is the former CEO of two Artificial Intelligence companies: Giant Oak, Inc. and Consilient, Inc. here in Greenville, SC.

Since 2009, his efforts have combined behavioral science methodologies with the rapidly advancing field of AI to refine the processes of understanding data and human behavior. Known for overcoming entrenched challenges, he’s garnered a reputation both as a results-driven scientist and a business leader at the frontiers of knowledge.

Gary believes that small teams change the world, so he actively supports people who show genuine passion for a mission and dedication to making meaningful contributions. Follow him on LinkedIn.
