Frances Haugen
Advocate for accountability & transparency in social media
Born in Iowa City, Iowa, Frances is the daughter of two professors and grew up attending the Iowa caucuses with her parents, instilling a strong sense of pride in democracy and responsibility for civic participation. Frances holds a degree in Electrical and Computer Engineering from Olin College and an MBA from Harvard. She is a specialist in algorithmic product management, having worked on ranking algorithms at Google, Pinterest, Yelp and Facebook. She was recruited to Facebook to be the lead Product Manager on the Civic Misinformation team, which dealt with issues related to democracy and misinformation, and later also worked on counter-espionage. During her time at Facebook, Frances became increasingly alarmed by the choices the company makes prioritizing their own profits over public safety and putting people's lives at risk. As a last resort and at great personal risk, Frances made the courageous decision to blow the whistle on Facebook. Frances fundamentally believes that the problems we are facing today with social media are solvable. We can have social media that brings out the best in humanity.Aaron Heckaman

Morgan & Morgan, P.A.

Jean Sutton Martin
Attorney
Morgan & Morgan, P.A.
Jean is a key player in leading Morgan & Morgan’s Complex Litigation Group. Jean is one of the few lawyers in the group whose caseload spans multiple disciplines, including mass torts, data privacy, consumer goods, medical products, and environmental disasters.
In November 2024, after a contested leadership process, Jean was the only woman appointed as interim co-lead class counsel in consolidated litigation arising from the BioLab chemical plant fire in Conyers, GA that released a plume of toxic substances into surrounding communities. Shepresently leads a class action against CSX for chemical exposure and property damage stemming from a train derailment that occurred in 2023. Webb et al. v. CSX Transportation, Inc. Case No. 6:23-cv-00211-REW (E.D. Ky.).
Over the last few years, Jean has lead some of the biggest cybersecurity victories, including Inre: Morgan Stanley Data Security Litigation (S.D.N.Y., No. 1:20-cv-05914), which resulted in a $60 million common fund settlement for 15 million class members. Jean also obtained a landmark federal ruling in the Eleventh Circuit that strengthens data privacy protections. The U.S. Supreme Court effectively upheld this decision in April 2024 when it declined to hear an appeal in Brinker International, Inc. v. Steinmetz et al. This case arose from a 2017 data breach of Brinker International, the parent company of Chili’s Grill & Bar. In 2021, the U.S. District Court for the Middle District of Florida issued a first-of-its-kind order certifying the class of impacted consumers. Brinker appealed to the Eleventh Circuit Court of Appeals, which agreed that one of the named plaintiffs had standing and that the case could continue. The ruling means plaintiffs are entitled to compensation because of the damages arising from data breaches and enshrines in federal case law a path toward justice for everyday people when corporations mishandle their sensitive information. Jean argued both the motion for class certification as well as the appeal before the Eleventh Circuit.
Beyond her work at Morgan & Morgan, Jean founded and organized the Class of Our Own summit, an invitation-only event for female attorneys handling plaintiff class actions. Last year’sconference in Nashville featured a table chat with U.S. District Judge Karen Caldwell, Chair of the U.S. Judicial Panel on Multidistrict Litigation (JPML), as well as a private listening-room style performance by Grammy-winning country artist Natalie Hemby. More than 120 women from multiple class-action disciplines came from all over the country to attend the successfulannual event.

William J. Pintas
Founder & CEO
Aspen AI
William is the Founder and CEO of Aspen AI, a conversational and workflow AI solution that mimics paralegal performance, transforming client intake and communication for law firms. He earned a computer science degree from NYU in just 2.5 years, demonstrating his deep passion for technology and innovation.
William’s journey began in the personal injury space, where he witnessed firsthand the inefficiencies of traditional client intake, with only 5–10% of inquiries converting into viable cases. With the emergence of GPT-3.5 in 2022, he saw the opportunity to revolutionize legal intake. That vision led to Aspen AI, which gives AI a voice, enabling it to engage with clients over the phone, text, and email — having real conversations instead of relying on static forms. By handling initial screenings and outbound communication, Aspen AI saves law firms thousands of hours, ensuring consistency, efficiency, and enhanced client engagement through timely alerts and summaries for high-quality cases.
Today, Aspen AI partners with some of the largest mass tort and personal injury law firms, including PersonalInjury.com, Ben Crump Law Firm, and Pintas & Mullins, screening tens of thousands of calls each month. At this conference, William will play live calls and demonstrate how law firms of all sizes can leverage AI-driven intake solutions to streamline operations, reduce overhead, and remain competitive—without sacrificing the human touch.
