Creative biography
Jon Beardsley
Jon Beardsley, Chief Revenue
Officer, Pontiflex.
Simply put, Jon makes Pontiflex grow. He’s
a master of all verticals, with major sales
successes in travel, retail, technology,
education, non-profit and market research.
His greatest triumph was securing the
Barack Obama presidential campaign as a
client after almost two years of
perseverance.
Before Pontiflex Jon held a series of
leadership roles at Innovation Ads, a
premier interactive agency. He helped his
department grow 20-fold and was instrumental in the company being named the
29th-fastest-growing small business in America, as named by Entrepreneur
Magazine and PricewaterhouseCoopers. Back in the day: Jon worked for
Britain’s new local government network and taught kids how to unleash vicious
forehands at tennis camps at Harvard.
When not thinking about CPL Jon is dedicated to charitable causes in Africa,
with a specific focus on Liberia. He has been involved in The Grassroots
Movement of Liberia and the rebuilding of the war-torn city of Monrovia.
