Turning 10 years at LinkedIn into startup success with Evidenza’s Co-Founder, Jon Lombardo

From titans of industry, to innovative underdogs, Jon Lombardo has a knack for combining the power of personal relationships with an eye for the future.

That’s how he’s made the leap from LinkedIn to the cutting edge of AI marketing, as Co-Founder of Evidenza.

Join us as we draw on Jon’s multicultural experiences, learn to avoid being blindsided in business, and find out why we’re all still underhyping AI.

"LinkedIn was like being on a huge ship where you didn't feel the highs and lows of the sea. In a startup, it's like being in a dinghy. Everything is a magnitude greater."

Jon Lombardo

Co-Founder, Evidenza

Key episode takeaways:

  • Paradigm Shifts: Jon’s career has been defined by surfing major paradigm shifts, from China's economic transformation and social networks to B2B marketing and AI.
  • Cultivating relationships creates opportunities and drives career progression.
  • AI is underhyped and misused, just as the first television shows were treated like radio shows.
  • Be willing to tinker, learn, and adapt to new technologies, seeing them as tools for creative innovation and problem-solving

To tune in, head here:

“If we can learn anything from business history, it's that people don't acknowledge the disruption until it's too late…”
