How executives can maximize their LinkedIn presence (authentically) and cut through the noise, with Justin Nassiri

Like with any social media platform, LinkedIn can be confusing, noisy, frustrating and seemingly just another item on your never-ending to-do list. And most executives simply don’t have time to create content or establish a presence there. They’re too busy running their business. 

 

Justin Nassiri is someone who helps CEOs clear those hurdles, and he also has some expert advice for what actually works on the constantly changing social platform. Justin is the CEO of Executive Presence, which provides a fully managed LinkedIn presence for CEOs and top executives. He is a U.S. Navy submarine veteran, Stanford MBA, and the founder of two previous companies.
