Serial entrepreneur and Founder & CEO of Exporb. With a background in sales, business development, and event marketing, Eugene has worked 100+ trade shows across Europe and Asia. After losing a pipeline-changing deal's worth of leads at a major exhibition — scribbled notes, dead business cards, forgotten conversations — he built Exporb to make sure no exhibitor ever leaves a show empty-handed again.
