Stephen Hakami's current jobs
Wiza came from the crushing disappointment of using Zoominfo everyday as an outbound-heavy account executive. Simply put, Wiza is the most accurate provider of contact data. On top of that, we make it effortless to create massive lists, enriched with VERIFIED emails and phone numbers. You can use Wiza Prospect to find leads from our platform, the Wiza Extension to find leads from Linkedin, or use our API.
Stephen Hakami's past jobs
During the pandemic, we created a simple contact tracing tool for restaurants. Don't be fooled by 'acquired', this was a short-sighted venture and largely not worth the time 😅 but we had a lot of fun!
I spent the first portion of my professional career doing cold calls and cold emails. It taught me everything I needed to know about acquiring customers, and I still feel incredibly lucky to had landed in this role. "Most people never pick up the phone and call. Most people never ask, and that’s what separates, sometimes, the people who do things from the people who just dream about them." - Steve Jobs
