Founders
The team that built Growth Verticals
ReubenKennedy
Founder & Chief Executive Officer
Reuben has spent more than three decades solving a hard problem: how to move, verify, and act on data fast enough for decisions to matter. The technology he built — record-setting data processing, identity verification frameworks, and real-time decisioning platforms — runs inside institutions like Equifax, TransUnion, and CoreLogic, where a wrong or slow decision carries real cost. He founded TechSafari, built it into a business that led to multiple acquisitions, and now leads Growth Verticals, applying that same discipline to help finance and healthcare organizations make better growth decisions with data they can trust.
JamesSchleck
Founder & Chief Strategy Officer
James has spent his career fixing customer acquisition and retention where it is hardest — in healthcare and fintech, where the data is messy, the rules are strict, and wasted spend adds up quickly. He understands how these industries actually buy and renew, and he has used analytics, predictive modeling, and intent data to replace guesswork with decisions that can be measured against revenue. As a founder of Growth Verticals, he shapes how the G1 platform turns those methods into a repeatable system, so organizations grow because of what they know, not what they hope.
JamesMaroney
Founder & Chief Technology Officer
James builds the technology that makes better decisions possible at scale. Over 20-plus years at TechSafari, Terminus, CallPotential, and Navex Global, he has shipped data-driven platforms for businesses where reliability and privacy are non-negotiable — and learned firsthand where fragmented systems break down. As Chief Technology Officer at Growth Verticals, he leads the design and development of the G1 platform, engineering it so customer acquisition, retention, and measurement run on one system that is both powerful and privacy-safe.
