President's Club 2025
The Faces of President's Club
Jon Blum, Co-Founder
Infinite Green Consulting
As a Co-Founder of Infinite Green Consulting, I see opportunity in most situations. For 16 years, I have found my niche, helping companies solve simple and complex issues in the moment, have given them the confidence so they can ultimately create clarity, purpose, and momentum forward and into the future. Encouraging companies to think bigger about what they can do around customer experience and then collaborating on the best ways to get there with strong partners or building it internally with them, is how I like to orchestrate the engagements with IGC. Getting clear about the “how” is how I landed on my “Chief Illuminator” title.
