Alex Persson
Alex Persson is the CEO of Privy, the email and SMS marketing platform built for founder-led, scrappy ecommerce brands rather than enterprise giants. A former technology investor at Jefferies and ex-CEO of WeCommerce, he took the helm of Privy in 2024 and steered its 2025 acquisition of conversational SMS pioneer Emotive, betting that growing merchants want a partner and not just another dashboard.
Amit Jhawar
Amit Jhawar is the CEO of Attentive, the AI-powered SMS and mobile marketing platform. Before martech, he spent a decade building payments: he was among the first 30 employees at Braintree, served as its CFO and COO, engineered the acquisition of Venmo, and then ran Venmo as CEO after PayPal bought the business. A former Accel partner, he joined Attentive as President in 2021 and was promoted to CEO in June 2023, where he has steered the company from SMS marketing into a broader AI-driven customer engagement platform.
Tiffin
Tiffin is the founder and CEO of Aisle, a New York retail growth platform that turns real-world shopping into measurable in-store sales: a customer photographs a receipt, texts it in, and gets Venmo'd within minutes. He built the whole thing through text because, in his words, no one has room on their iPhone for another app. Before Aisle he talked his way into an internship at Super Coffee in 2017, dropped out of school, slept on the founders' couch, and helped scale the brand from $700K to $5M in a year - then realized brands had no idea who was buying them off the shelf. Aisle, now trusted by hundreds of CPG brands, is his answer to that blind spot.
Chase Dimond
Chase Dimond is a partner at Structured, a full-stack ecommerce marketing agency, and one of the most-followed email marketing experts on the internet. He co-founded Boundless Labs in 2018, grew it into a 7-figure agency generating $35M+ in email-attributable client revenue, and sold it to Structured in 2020. Today he runs a media empire with 750,000+ cross-platform followers, a 100K-subscriber newsletter with a 46% open rate, and has helped ecommerce brands collectively generate $200M+ in email revenue. Shopify named him the #1 influencer to follow in ecommerce.
