Mentors
Zoltan Vardy
I'm a business growth mentor who helps B2B technology startups scale globally. I work with startup founders to help them find their focus and boost their sales and productivity through personal mentoring and by applying a business development framework I’ve created called The Launch Code™. The Launch Code™ gives B2B technology startups a blueprint for how to scale rapidly in three steps -- Focus, Sell, and Manage -- by adapting corporate planning, sales, and management techniques to an entrepreneurial setting. During my 30-year career in global business, I spent 20 years as a senior media executive (NBCUniversal, ProSiebenSat1, CBS), and 10 years as an entrepreneur, investor, and advisor.
