For over 15 years, Alton Delane has been working in business management and marketing for companies in several industries, including healthcare, law, and finance. In May 2019, Alton Delane began serving as an emissary at Emissary.io, a company focused on connecting clients with experienced sales and marketing professionals.
Emissary.io is the website for Emissary, a human intelligence networking company that provides clients with insights on their most important accounts by connecting them with emissary advisors, many of whom have been global leaders with Fortune 500 companies such as Google, Airbnb, and Procter and Gamble. Emissary advisors are typically former directors or senior executives who have experience building initiatives, teams, and divisions in the companies they have worked for, and who want to help other people by sharing their knowledge and experience.
The advisor community comprises over 12,000 senior executives. Emissary finds clients and manages the billing for its advisors, while they are compensated for their time. The networking platform, Emissary Exchange, is the place where engagement between clients and advisors happens, such as communication and scheduling. Clients may choose to engage with a particular advisor for several reasons. One key reason is because they want help creating a pitch to present to the company for which the advisor has worked.
