Jay Foreman
Director of Sales / AKA: The Connector-in-Chief
Jay has a knack for seeing talent in teams before they see it themselves. He connects organizations with training that actually moves the needle. Less pitch, more partnership.

More coach than salesman, he believes corporate training should never feel corporate—or boring. Jay’s mission is to help organizations find exactly what they need before they even know they need it. If you’ve got workforce goals, Jay’s already two steps ahead—with a strategy and maybe a dad joke.
