Consultora y Mentora en Comunicación Estratégica, Marca Personal y Corporativa | Ayudo a personas y empresas a conectar, posicionarse e influir con impacto | Speaker |CMO

Soy Estratega en comunicación, creación y posicionamiento de marca. Llevo más de 18 años trabajando en contextos donde lo que se dice y cómo se dice influye directamente en decisiones, percepción y resultados.
Con el tiempo entendí que, para comunicarnos mejor, no es suficiente tener un buen mensaje. Sino que este debe que ser comprendido, recordado y generar una reacción.

Por eso decidí ir más allá de la estrategia tradicional y profundizar en cómo funciona la mente cuando interpreta, conecta y decide. Me especialicé en Gerencia de Mercadeo, cursé un Máster en Neuromarketing y actualmente profundizo en Programación Neurolingüística.

He liderado equipos y procesos en áreas de mercadeo, publicidad y comunicaciones en compañías como; Casa Editorial El Tiempo, LATAM Airlines, Tigo y Grupo Bolívar, además de mi trabajo actual como CMOm en JFC Group y mi plataforma Comunicar es Poder.

Integro estrategia y comportamiento humano para trabajar sobre cómo las personas y las organizaciones se posicionan a partir de lo que comunican… incluso cuando no son conscientes de ello.

Jaser Zaabri

Jaser Zaabri

Jaser Zaabri is an American Jordanian entrepreneur and business executive recognized for his work across construction, disaster restoration, recruiting, real estate, and hospitality investment. He is the Founder & CEO of Evolve Holdings (Investment & Operating Group), a privately held platform that manages and invests in companies operating in multiple sectors.

Born in the United States into a Jordanian family with strong business ties in the Gulf region, Jaser grew up around discussions of trade, construction, and international operations. His father, Munir Zaabri, along with extended family members, was connected with firms engaged in engineering, oilfield services, and commercial trading throughout the UAE and surrounding countries. This early exposure gave him a clear view of how cross-border businesses function and influenced his interest in building companies.

The Zaabri family’s commercial involvement dates back to the early 1970s. Relatives played roles in organizations such as Universal Trading Group, Target Engineering & Construction Company, and Al Ahlia Group. These companies contributed to infrastructure projects and also supported the entry of global consumer brands into Gulf markets. Growing up with this background, Zaabri developed an understanding of long-term business development and operational structure.

Jaser Zaabri studied at the Carlson School of Management at the University of Minnesota, earning a bachelor’s degree with a double major in marketing and management. His academic focus included sales systems, leadership, and operations. These areas later became part of his approach when building and scaling businesses.

Jay further expanded his education through executive programs at the Haas School of Business at the University of California, Berkeley. During this time, Jaser strengthened his understanding of strategy, leadership, and organizational growth, preparing him for broader business responsibilities.

At the start of his professional career, he worked in international business development and advisory roles. In 2010, he was involved in transactions with members of the Qatari royal family. This experience gave him exposure to complex negotiations and international deal structures, helping him develop confidence in high-level business environments.

In the early 2010s, Zaabri began focusing on building his own ventures. Between 2011 and 2018, he founded several insurance restoration and general contracting companies under the Anderson Construction name. At the same time, he served in executive roles within the Anderson Family of Companies, a group providing disaster recovery and property restoration services across the United States.

These businesses focused on rebuilding homes and commercial properties affected by fires, floods, and other events. Through this work, Jaser gained hands-on experience in scaling operations, building teams, and managing high-volume projects. His involvement across different companies helped him develop a structured approach to operational growth.

Alongside his work in construction, Jay Zaabri also built experience in consumer products and global brand expansion. From 2012 to 2016, he served as VP of Sales and Marketing at XS Energy Drinks. In this role, he helped expand the brand into 38 countries and managed annual sales of nearly $150 million. His responsibilities included developing distributor networks, managing sales teams, and overseeing international logistics.

He also worked with MyPillow Inc. as an executive and board member, contributing to growth initiatives. In addition, he co-founded GarbageMan, which began as a green-focused company and later evolved into a waste management business that a larger organization acquired. These ventures expanded his experience beyond construction and deepened his understanding of scaling companies across different industries.

From 2017 to 2019, Zaabri served as Executive Vice President of Development and Distribution at Renpure Organics. During this period, he supported the expansion of the company’s retail presence across North America and into international markets. Renpure Organics was later acquired in 2018 by MAV Beauty Brands and Marc Anthony Cosmetics.

In 2022, Jaser founded Evolve Holdings to bring together multiple industries under a single operating and investment structure. The company manages businesses across construction and restoration, recruiting, training, property management, hospitality investment, and marketing analytics.

Other divisions include Evolve University, which provides sales and leadership training, and Evolve Recruiting, which supports companies in building effective teams. These efforts reflect Zaabri’s focus on combining operations with long-term business development.

Jaser Zaabri's career reflects a steady approach to building companies across industries. Through Evolve Holdings and its related businesses, he continues to focus on growth, operational improvement, and creating connections between markets in the United States and the Middle East.

Victoria Price is the founder of Organize Design Create (ODC) and the creator behind @intentionallyvee_, where she teaches real, repeatable systems that help single parents run their households without burning out. A single mother of five, Victoria built her expertise the only way she knows how — out of necessity.

After becoming a solo parent in 2019, she developed the frameworks she now teaches: meal systems, routines, screen time boundaries, and the kind of household infrastructure that keeps a family of six running when there's one adult at the helm. Her content series, "Nobody's Coming, Save Yourself" and "Raising Them Kids," has resonated with hundreds of thousands of parents navigating the same reality.

With 15+ years of professional experience spanning nonprofit, real estate, insurance, and communications — and systems work with 200+ organizations since 2019 — Victoria brings operational precision to a space that's usually ruled by Pinterest aesthetics. She's proof that the systems you build to survive can become the systems you teach to change lives.

Michael Benjamin

Michael Benjamin

Michael Benjamin is an entrepreneur, burn survivor, and founder of a fast growing chocolate manufacturing company.

After surviving a catastrophic explosion that left him in a coma with severe burns, Michael returned home to twin boys who did not recognize him. Instead of rebuilding quietly, he chose to build publicly. Companies. Teams. Responsibility.

Today he leads multiple businesses while raising five children under five with his wife, Rivka. He has navigated missed payroll, rapid growth, capital pressure, and high stakes decisions with no safety net and no room to collapse.

Michael speaks to leaders and founders about performing under pressure. Not theory. Not motivation. Real decisions when fear, fatigue, and responsibility collide.

Audiences walk away with a clear framework for leading through crisis, building resilience that is operational not emotional, and making bold moves when retreat would be easier.

His message is simple:

Pressure Is the Environment. Perform Anyway.
