To say that Babak has helped to scale a business is an understatement.

In this most recent role, Babak headed up management of all offline and online media, with over $500 million in total ad spend over his tenure. He’s also built out the teams’ focused on social media and landing page optimization, and oversaw the telesales team which managed 10 third-party call centers.

Babak is now the founder of Round Two Partners, a niche consulting firm helping to scale companies with $5-$100 million in revenues.
