    Vera Quinn is President and CEO of Cydcor — one of North America's leading outsourced sales and customer acquisition companies. Cydcor partners with Fortune 500 and emerging brands to drive growth through real, one-to-one human connection — because some of the most important moments in a customer relationship can only happen face to face. Many of Cydcor's client partnerships span more than a decade — a testament to the performance and trust that major brands demand when putting their name in someone else's hands.

    Twenty-eight years ago, Vera was knocking on doors as a sales representative. She knows firsthand the power of the field — and what it takes to earn a customer's trust one conversation at a time. She built her career from the field, ultimately becoming CEO in 2020. Under her leadership, Cydcor has diversified channels, built more solutions for clients, and expanded into new markets — making its network of independent sales companies one of the most powerful sales platforms in North America. Today that network spans nearly 500 independent sales companies, run by entrepreneurs, supported by more than 5,500 sales representatives, operating in every major U.S. market and across Canada, driving millions of customer conversations every year.

    This year, Vera was named an EY Entrepreneur of the Year honoree and CEO of the Year by the Los Angeles Business Journal.
