Summer Poletti has spent her career inside growth-stage companies — in the seats, not watching from the sidelines. She has run marketing, sales, partnerships, and customer success across 20+ B2B companies, co-founded an investor-backed fintech, and built a revenue architecture consultancy that helps founders fix what’s broken before they scale it.

She hosts Revenue Remix, named a Feedspot Top Revenue Podcast for 2025, and recently moderated the WomenxAI panel at TechCon SoCal 2026 at San Diego State University.

Her talk and workshop — “Stop Growing a Bigger Version of a Broken Company” — is built for founders and revenue leaders who are adding headcount, tools, and AI on top of systems that were never working in the first place. Every room leaves with a diagnosis and a direction, not just a framework.

She speaks at B2B, founder, and women’s leadership events in Southern California, the Bay Area, Las Vegas, and Phoenix.

Er ist selbst weder Unternehmer, Selbstständiger oder Führungskraft.

Ganz im Gegenteil. Auf die Frage, wie viel Erfahrung im Berufsleben er als Führungskraft hat, lautet die Antwort: Null

Er bekommt jedoch jeden Tag mit, bei Familie, Freunden, Nachbarn, etc. was in der langfristigen Bindung und Begeisterung von Mitarbeitern schiefläuft.

In Zeiten von Fachkräftemangel und Fluktuation möchte er genau hier neue Impulse setzen.

Seine Ideen und Anregungen sind aus der Praxis für die Praxis
