CPX’s own Ben Turk, Director of Sales; Jamie Gutterman, Director of Sales; Polly Payne, Product Planner/Brand Sales; Ross Cohen, Director of Sales; and Taylor Hall, Marketing Assistant were in attendance. CPX Interactive was not only proud to sponsor and attend the event, but we were fortunate to have the opportunity to speak directly with the guest of honor following the luncheon.
