Cyber Future Foundation Convenes Third Annual Cyber Future Dialogue in Davos, Switzerland


Executive Leaders from around the world convene to collaborate on cyber agenda.

3rd Annual Cyber Future Dialogue in Davos

Cyber Future Dialogue brings about Cyber Future Foundation’s commitment to raise Hope for a secure future and serve with Humility towards advancing trust in cyberspace for the Humanity.

For the third year, the Cyber Future Dialogue will be convened by the Cyber Future Foundation, on the sidelines of the annual meeting of the World Economic Forum, at the historic Schatzalp Hotel, overlooking the Davos Promenade. The event is scheduled for 21 January 2020, Tuesday from 10:00 until 18:00 Central European Time.

“Citizens, businesses and nations around the world are grappling with the challenges and consequences of ever-increasing cyber-threats and disruptions,” said Valmiki Mukherjee, Founder & Chairman of Cyber Future Foundation. “Cybersecurity has become a key topic for Boards and Executive suites, which now demands executive decisions and actions. It is absolutely essential for leaders to come together to focus and deliberate on the fundamental aspects of cyber risk, and address this collectively. This goal can only be achieved through collaboration and informed risk-based decision-making at the highest levels. Sharing experiences, skills and knowledge amongst Captains of industry, government leaders, and cyber security experts will motivate and enable our communities to create, protect and secure lasting value, and make us stronger as a global community. Cyber Future Dialogue brings about Cyber Future Foundation’s commitment to raise Hope for a secure future and serve with Humility towards advancing trust in cyberspace for the Humanity.”

The objective of the Cyber Future Dialogue is to share the most pressing issues and challenges in the cyber domain, determine a collective understanding of available solutions, and deliberate on the open issues that we need to come together as a community and resolve to act on. The problems considered at the Dialogue include those that the World Economic Forum describes as “Cyber security threats outpacing the abilities of governments and companies.” This, according to CFF is not only security in cyberspace, but includes the a gamut of elements with considerations for cyber risk, cyber war and peace, cyber privacy, cyber safety, cyber socio economic impact as well as emerging technologies, whose cyber impacts may not have been given adequate consideration leading to adverse consequences both for individuals as well as organizations and countries. The event will be anchored by executive delegation from public as well as private sectors, leading to a collaborative dialogue between cyber experts and organizational leaders.

Ovation Travel Group to Dramatically Increase West Coast Presence; Aanchal Gandhi Joins Ovation as Vice President to Lead Growth Efforts


Given Ovation Travel Group’s large existing book of luxury leisure and corporate business in New York and London, along with an enviable amount already in LA, we believe it is critical for us to have a heightened physical presence in California.

Ovation Travel Group, one of the largest independently owned travel management and luxury leisure travel companies headquartered in the US, is today publicly unveiling its vision for expansion through a larger footprint in the western United States, where it will increase the number of independent advisors throughout the region. To develop and lead Ovation’s anticipated growth there, Beverly Hills-based Aanchal Gandhi is joining the company in the newly-created role of Vice President of Leisure and Independent Advisors, West Coast.

Advisor recruitment on the West Coast, along with the expansion initiatives, will be overseen by Ms. Gandhi, who officially joined the company on January 6. Having grown to become one of the largest US members of both Virtuoso and BCD, Ovation Travel Group is actively seeking to invite qualifying advisors – throughout the United States, and especially on the West Coast – to consider joining the fiercely independent organization. Qualifying advisors should possess travel expertise in luxury leisure, entertainment and/or corporate travel, the three prevailing travel disciplines for which Ovation is best known.

“Ovation Travel Group has long had a presence on the West Coast thanks to our increasing ranks of advisors specializing in our trio of core travel competencies who are already based there. As the number of advisors there continues to multiply, we are proud to further address their needs by formalizing our presence there. In turn, we have great expectations that our new Los Angeles area focus will ultimately rival our thriving operations in New York and London,” explained Paul Metselaar, CEO and Chairman of Ovation Travel Group. “As such, we are very pleased to cordially invite savvy travel advisors who are seeking a new home to consider joining us at Ovation.”

“Given Ovation Travel Group’s large existing book of luxury leisure and corporate business in New York and London, along with an enviable amount already in LA, we believe it is critical for us to have a heightened physical presence in California. That is why we are so thrilled to welcome Aanchal Gandhi into the Ovation family. She has burnished her reputation in the region through her expertise primarily in those segments, as well as working in entertainment travel, thus perfectly reflecting our company’s primary areas of focus,” noted Gina Gabbard, Senior Vice President of Leisure & Independent Advisors, and to whom Gandhi will report. “Aanchal will further develop and cultivate Ovation’s cadre of exceptional advisors throughout the West Coast, and she will also oversee our search for a regional headquarters in the Los Angeles area befitting both our invaluable advisors and clientele.”

Gandhi comes to Ovation directly from eleven years as an independent advisor with Protravel International. There, she served in its offices, first in New York, then in London, and most recently in Beverly Hills. In 2009, Gandhi was honored with Travel Agent magazine’s prestigious “30under30” award. As a millennial leader, she has worked extensively to champion this new generation of travel advisors in giving them a voice and seat at the table.

Prior to entering the travel industry, Gandhi was in equity sales for Goldman Sachs from 2004-2008. Born in Mumbai and raised in Hong Kong and Singapore, she earned her Bachelor of Science degree in Management Science from Tulane University in New Orleans.

“I am thrilled by the opportunity to help build a home for Ovation’s stellar reputation on the West Coast. As a true leader in travel, along with its incredibly professional, yet caring leadership team, Ovation is well poised to attract the exceptional caliber of talent necessary to fuel our growth,” stated Gandhi. “One of India’s most influential business leaders, Dhirubhai Ambani, once said, ‘If you don’t build your dream, someone else will hire you to help them build theirs.’ After making my dreams come true through my years as an independent advisor, I could not be more excited to help other travel advisors build their dreams as part of Ovation. My experience from Wall Street taught me to be attentive to the needs of my clients, and I look forward to serving my new clients – advisors from the West Coast – through my new role with Ovation.”

Ovation’s luxury leisure travel division is inviting independent advisors to learn how to qualify for its program by visiting OvationTravel.com/Become-an-Independent.

When Do We Treat Overeating?


Many people use the terms “binge eating” and “emotional eating” interchangeably, not knowing there are distinct differences. Even though binge eating and emotional eating can be similar, knowing when to treat clients for overeating is a crucial counseling skill. At the 2020 iaedp Symposium interactive workshop, Binge Eating Disorder Vs. Emotional Eating: When Do We Treat Overeating, participants will learn how to effectively treat binge eating disorder while supporting clients to have a healthy relationship with food, which may include emotional eating as an appropriate response to life circumstances.

Slated for March 26 – 29 at the Omni at ChampionsGate in Orlando, the 2020 iaedp™ Symposium will offer this workshop on opening day from 2:00 – 3:30 p.m. as well as over 70 other presentations and networking events.

According to primary presenter, Jennifer McGurk, RDN, CDN, CEDRD-S, Binge Eating Disorder is under-diagnosed and under-treated. Many people often interchange binge eating with the term emotional eating, not realizing or accepting an eating disorder diagnosis.

Binge Eating Disorder is on the rise, estimated to affect about five percent of the total population. This statistic dramatically increases to 30 percent of individuals seeking weight management interventions.

McGurk’s session will focus on behavioral health interventions and medical nutrition therapy for the treatment of binge eating disorder, while redefining emotional eating as being a positive outlet in a client’s life. The session also will focus on the many subjective definitions of emotional eating, including when emotional eating is truly Binge Eating Disorder that deserves eating disorder treatment. True emotional eating will be presented as a coping skill for healthcare professionals to use with their clients to enhance a client’s life.

The workshop presentation team of McGurk and Elyssa Toomey RDN, RYT will help healthcare professionals better understand best care practices for Binge Eating Disorder that may include some appropriate emotional eating to a client’s life circumstances.

McGurk is a Registered Dietitian Nutritionist whose mission is to help people heal from eating disorders and to support other dietitians to build a business specializing in eating disorders and intuitive eating.

A divorcee shares how her struggles led to her journey of healing and self-discovery


News Image

A divorce can be a difficult blow to handle. It causes changes that are a lot more than what is expected. But for Nathalie Benarroch a.k.a. A Divorcee, a divorce can be a tunnel to self-discovery.

In her first book, “I Will Survive” (published by iUniverse), Benarroch retells her struggles with divorce, hoping to resonate to anyone’s struggles with separation, whether it is in marriage or in the general upheaval of life. In her story, she reiterates that divorce is an evitable process in life–divorce from parents, place of origin, a job, children, culture, language, youth, etc.

The book mainly focuses on divorce but also highlights different identities, cultures, roles that make up today’s lives, especially a woman’s. The divorce is set against the background of the three continents Benarroch has lived in and offers a picturesque tableaux of life in Casablanca ruled by French colonialism, Montreal in the glamorous ’80s, and finally a very fashionable life in Paris.

Targeting women as her book’s readers, Benarroch hopes to be a catalyst of personal growth and self-discovery through his book. “I want readers to be able to relate to it and also see their lives as observers and grow from the experience and the reading of my story,” she says.
