Jen Prosek
The Convener
The room, the network and the deal, brings the right people together.
Jen Prosek emerges in this interview as a textbook Convener, someone who has built her firm's competitive moat not merely through communications craft but through the deliberate gifting of networks. She describes embarking on regular CEO convening events more than a decade ago with the explicit philosophy that 'one new contact can change the game.' This instinct runs through everything she discusses, from conference concierge services that maximize LP meeting ROI to creating safe spaces for female CEOs to share hard truths. Prosek frames her own role as a truth teller and chief EQ officer, someone who brings people into honest conversation rather than broadcasting outward. Her advice on AI, podcasting as a tenth-meeting accelerant, and narrative differentiation all serve this relational logic. She does not position herself as a disruptor or a strategist in the abstract; she positions herself as the person who puts the right people in the same room and makes something happen.
“I learned a very long time ago that gifting a network to someone is the greatest gift you can give them because one new contact can change the game, it can change your life, it could change your career.”
“The podcast is one of the most effective second meeting strategies. If someone listens to this podcast and they like what I have to say, am I having the first meeting with them when I meet them? I'm probably having the 10th meeting.”
“I think the most powerful thing reputationally now and into the future will be what ChatGPT has to say about you. ChatGPT not only crawls all the information about you, it thinks, it connects dots, it gives you an opinion.”
