Jay Acunzo Claimed
Podcast Host, Unthinkable | Author, Speaker, Tinkerer
I host the podcast Unthinkable, write the weekly newsletter Playing Favorites, and develop podcasts and docuseries for mission-driven brands, authors, and entrepreneurs. I'm also a frequent keynote speaker, and the author of the book Break the Wheel. It is my personal, professional mission to help others make work that matters -- to their careers, their companies, and their communities. I see creativity as a form of problem solving and leadership. It's a means of raising your hand to lead and investigate and improve things, and I want to help others frame their work as such. That can help us see the work and the world better and differently. Before becoming a content entrepreneur, I held marketing and media roles at Google, HubSpot, and the VC firm NextView. My biggest ambition and maybe grandest delusion is to be the Anthony Bourdain of business storytelling :)
Sam Jacobs Claimed
Founder and CEO of Pavilion
I am focused on helping people unlock and achieve their professional potential. That's a fancy way of saying I believe there is greatness within all of us and sometimes it just needs a mechanism through which it can be brought forth. And it's the reason I founded Pavilion — a global community for leaders of all levels dedicated to providing support, assistance, education, and career growth. We bootstrapped to $10M in ARR before taking on a $25M growth financing round in early 2021, led by Elephant Ventures and GTM Fund. Prior to Pavilion, I spent 15 years as a senior revenue leader at VC-backed companies in the New York area including Gerson Lehrman Group, Axial, Livestream/Vimeo, The Muse, and Behavox. I also host the Sales Hacker Podcast.

Stephanie Cox
President at Lumavate | Host of Real Marketers Podcast | Speaker
Here’s what you really need to know about me: I ask forgiveness, not permission. I don’t have the patience for a bunch of red tape. I’m a recovering perfectionist who believes you should “ship” new initiatives as fast as possible and constantly iterate on them based on the data. Speed > Perfection. I have an endless amount of crazy ideas and I enjoy challenging what’s possible. Ask anyone who has ever worked with me. I use the Oxford comma, love Coke, and hate crappy design. I speak candidly, have exceptionally high standards, and gravitate towards people who get sh*t done. I believe in paying it forward and mentoring young talent. I’m always up for helping out other marketers, leaders, and sales reps. I don’t sugar coat it. It doesn’t help anyone to just hear the good stories. I find you learn the most when you hear what didn’t work and why. And I’ve been doing this for a long time. I have more than 15+ years of marketing and sales experience in B2B, B2C, and B2B2C. I’ve pretty much done about everything in my career: launched companies, brands, new products, geographic expansion, and more. I’ve driven phenomenal growth, spoke at conferences around the world, led incredible teams, and I’m just getting started.
Jonathan Palmer
Senior Product Marketing Manager at Klaviyo
I'm a proud employee of Klaviyo, a digital marketing software that empowers 80,000+ brands to deliver amazing experiences across email and other owned channels. After securing a Bachelor’s Degree in Economics and a Master’s Degree in Sports Management, I started my career in B2C & B2B sales and quickly expanded to digital marketing and e-commerce. As early employee at HYLETE, a digitally native fitness apparel brand, I cut my teeth in email marketing. I quickly surpassed all industry benchmarks and eventually became Marketing Director where I knit together customer data across all channels to deliver personalized and well-timed messaging that drove growth and retention. While at HYLETE, I leveraged Klaviyo to drive over 50% of the brand's revenue through owned channels. After seeing the power of Klaviyo first hand, I joined their Product Marketing Team, with the ultimate goal of helping Klaviyo and its customers grow. Today, I continue to follow my passion for continued learning and being on the tip of the spear in all things e-commerce and digital marketing.
