• Founder and CEO at RevBlack
• BS, Economics, BYU

Tate Stone is Founder and CEO of RevBlack, a fractional RevOps consultancy that helps private equity and venture backed B2B companies fix and scale their HubSpot and Salesforce systems. Before starting RevBlack, he worked in operations at Grow.com, where he got a close look at how a fast growing startup builds its internal systems, and just as often has to rebuild them under pressure. That experience shaped the problem RevBlack now solves for its clients: messy CRMs, broken handoffs between sales and marketing, and revenue operations that were never built to survive a company's growth.
Since founding RevBlack, Tate has worked with leadership teams across dozens of portfolio companies, helping them turn their CRM from a source of frustration into a system their sales and marketing teams actually trust.
Tate and his wife are the proud parents of four children.

• Manager, Business Intelligence at Wheeler Machinery Co.
• BS, Economics, BYU
• MS, Analytics, Georgia Tech
  
  Adrian has spent years turning complex business problems into practical, data-driven solutions — from business intelligence and predictive analytics to machine learning, AI, and intelligent automation. With a degree in Economics from Brigham Young University and an advanced degree in analytics from Georgia Tech, along with years of experience leading BI teams and teaching statistical modeling, machine learning, Python, and SQL at the college and university level, he has a knack for making complicated technology understandable and connecting business needs to solutions that actually work. He recently started his own AI solutions consulting company, helping organizations identify opportunities to leverage AI, automate processes, and turn their data into a competitive advantage. When he’s not building AI solutions or teaching, Adrian enjoys sports, board games, working on projects around the house, and spending time with his four kids — who provide a steady stream of real-world data proving that no amount of analytics can predict what they’ll do next.
