About

Kipp Gearheart, VP of sales at Intent HQ, took the TechTO stage in July 2024 to argue that a company can predict what a customer will do next without knowing anything about them personally — the pitch behind Intent HQ's product, which builds behavioural profiles from a business's own first-party data rather than from third-party tracking. The company is led by co-founder and CEO Jonathan Lakin, with co-founder Lawrence Chapman as chief operating officer, and works largely with telecoms and financial-services companies. It says it manages more than 300 million customer profiles, holds 49 patents, and runs a team across five countries.
