Name:
Trent Gilbert
Title:
CXO, Chief eXperience Officer
What you do at TargetX:
It is a bit like a meal. With clients on their campus visit program I am like a drink: 1 shot of “therapy”, 1 shot “fighter of their fights”, 1 shot “informer of knowledge” shaken with over some “fun”, all served in a glass of brutal honesty. Internally at TargetX my plate has a main dish of leading the sales efforts of the Campus Visit Consulting offerings, a side of account management, sprinkle in some conference presentations and brainstorming about the next big thing. For dessert, I am the guy that will ask you to speak up on a conference call. (Can’t you tell I was hungry when writing this?)
If you didn’t work at TargetX, what would you be doing?
I would own a restaurant and bar on the beach in a tropical destination. Clean and crisp design, with good food, great libations, amazing customer service and a totally chill vibe. It would be the kind of place that you want to hang out all day and all night.
Fun Fact about you:
I once flew to Dublin for the weekend to drink beer and eat beef stew (o-yeah and get the frequent flier miles)
Best way to contact you:
Call, email, smoke signals or messenger pigeon. Additionally, no matter how many emails I have, the firsts ones I read are the faxes.
