I am live today at SampleCon. My guest, Jon Kurzner. VP or GM - [00:00:10] Jon Kurzner: EVP of the Americas. [00:00:11] Jamin Brazil: EVP of Americas. It's a big area. [00:00:13] Jon Kurzner: Huge, yes. [00:00:14] Jamin Brazil: Cint. Welcome. [00:00:16] Jon Kurzner: Thanks. First SampleCon. Great to be here. [00:00:19] Jamin Brazil: Good. Welcome. What'd you do before Cint? [00:00:21] Jon Kurzner: So I worked at a company called Ernest Research. It was doing alternative data products, so selling the stuff into corporates, financial firms, and consulting firms. And so that's what attracted me to come here, marry that world up with what's going on in market research. [00:00:34] Jamin Brazil: Very cool, very cool. So what do you think about the show? [00:00:36] Jon Kurzner: It's been a great show. So I joined as I said last year in the middle of the pandemic, so this has been a great opportunity for me to not only meet people at Cint, which has been the first time meeting in-person, but also a bunch of people that I've talked to on Zoom and emailed with and put some names with some faces. So really enjoyed it. [00:00:51] Jamin Brazil: That's awesome. Favorite - have you been able to attend any sessions? [00:00:55] Jon Kurzner: Yes. [00:00:56] Jamin Brazil: Do you have a favorite callout moment in the session so far?
