Jody Glidden is the CEO and founder of Postilize, a company focused on reinventing CRM through AI. Before launching Postilize, he co-founded Introhive and served as CEO until 2022, helping raise over $100 million to build the enterprise relationship management category. A serial entrepreneur, Jody previously founded icGlobal, which was acquired by Smartforce, and played a key role in scaling Chalk Media, later acquired by BlackBerry maker Research in Motion. He holds a BBA from the University of New Brunswick and a Master’s in Information Systems from Harvard.
In this conversation, we discuss:
- Why traditional CRMs fail to reflect how relationships actually evolve—and how Postilize is addressing that gap
- How Postilize handles privacy, hallucinations, and human oversight to stay useful without crossing ethical lines
- Jody’s approach to using AI not to replace human connection, but to augment and scale authentic relationship building
- How relationship intelligence helps sales and go-to-market teams understand who to engage, when, and why
- Why keeping CRMs accurate is nearly impossible without automation and real-time enrichment
- What Jody learned from building Introhive and why Postilize is taking a radically different approach
- The future of CRM as a system of engagement rather than just a system of record
