Ben Zoldan is the Co-founder of Storyleaders and Unlock, and the best-selling author of "What Great Salespeople Do. " A UC Santa Barbara graduate, he consults for top firms like Salesforce and Oracle, focusing on transforming sales by prioritizing human connection over process. Colleagues call him a "delightful communicator" who opens their eyes.

His career was born from a personal pivot away from a purely results-driven mindset toward one embracing creativity, purpose, and genuine connection. This journey fuels his passion for fixing what he sees as a broken business culture, and he actively supports non-profits and others doing good work in the world.

He founded his company, Storyleaders, as an "accidental research project" after realizing his own process-focused career was leaving him unfulfilled.
