Jackie Hermes is the Founder and CEO of Accelity, a B2B SaaS marketing solutions company that services clients from planning to execution and offers: Inbound marketing strategy & execution, Inbound software implementation & management—Hubspot, Online lead generation & qualification, Content marketing (blogging + email marketing + social media), and Website design & management.

Prior to establishing her own company, Jackie started her entrepreneurial journey with a cookie company, Sweet Monkees, where she turned four vegan cookie recipes into a business - from baking them, to designing the brand’s packaging, to finding a kitchen that would increase its production, and all the way to marketing and distribution. After successfully building this business from the ground-up and selling to over 10 grocery chains, she sold the business to establish Accelity. 

Ryan Calton, on the other hand, is an Executive Finance and Strategic Advisor who is the CEO of a growth-oriented fractional CFO consultancy - RC MKE LLC, a company he founded for the simple reason that he wishes to shift the trend for most CFOs where instead of focusing on cost-saving strategies, he wishes to impart the focus on building sustained growth and increasing shareholder value. With this, he works with small to mid-sized companies that wish to increase their revenue, profitability, and enterprise value.

Prior to founding his own consultancy, Ryan was the Vice President of Finance and Operations at The Brewer Company, a medical device innovations company. And before that, he was also the Chief Financial Officer at Hampel Corp.,  a manufacturer of thermoformed plastics.
