There was genuinely a before Apollo and after Apollo in my career.
I first learned about Apollo.io at my first job out of college, working in sales out of the World Trade Center in New York.
I still remember being shocked that you could find someone’s contact information in seconds.
At the time, I was spending so much of my day figuring out who I should be reaching out to, where to find them, and how to actually get in touch.
Apollo made that process so much easier and completely changed the way I thought about sales.
A few years later, my career looks very different.
I work for myself, I’m building my own company, and a huge part of my job is still finding the right people, building relationships, selling partnerships, and creating opportunities.
Apollo is still one of the tools that helps me do that.
I’ll be at ApolloNext 2026 on September 30 at SFJAZZ Center in San Francisco.
What I like about ApolloNext is that the focus will be about future of GTM and what is actually working right now. I can’t wait for the real workflows, product launches, tactical sessions, and strategies you can actually take back to work with you.
If you work in sales, growth, GTM, or you’re building something of your own, come join me.
