Sebastian Jimenez started out as a stand-up comedian. This experience armed him with the resilience and unconventional thinking that helped him co-found a startup company that is now at the forefront of the trades.

Much of this success can be attributed to technology and artificial intelligence that enables companies to analyze data faster and better than ever before.

As the Founder & CEO at Rilla, Sebastian and his team are on a mission to help companies in the trades coach their sales reps with virtual ridealongs to increase their sales.
