Sam Pressman
Sam Pressman is the CEO of Pressman Film, the storied independent studio his father Edward R. Pressman founded in 1969 and that backed American Psycho, Wall Street, Badlands and The Crow. A Stanford Film & Media Studies graduate who grew up on his father's sets, Sam took the helm after Ed's death in 2023 and is betting that independent cinema's next chapter runs on radical filmmakers, crowd-sourced financing, virtual reality and AI - while keeping his father's motto, 'every film is a miracle,' close.
Dennis Chang
Dennis Chang is the co-founder and CEO of RoadFlex, a Visa fuel and expense card built for the unglamorous fleets that keep America moving - HVAC vans, landscaping trucks, delivery rigs. A Taiwanese-Peruvian who grew up in Lima and trades in three languages, he studied materials science and management engineering at Stanford, consulted at McKinsey, co-founded an AI grid-inspection startup, and spent years as a venture investor before deciding the most interesting problem in fintech was hiding at the gas pump: fuel fraud. RoadFlex pairs real-time transaction controls and telematics validation to stop a driver from filling a personal pickup on the company dime.
