Identity and role

Stuart Wall co-founded Signpost and built it into a small-business CRM and marketing-automation SaaS company (Forbes Council and ABF Journal profiles); he started it while at Harvard Business School. Wall signed the March 24, 2020 OnDeck-published "Letter to Congress" on behalf of Signpost.

Biography

His profiles list a Harvard Business School MBA, a Miami University finance degree, and an early career at Bain & Company. Signpost sold software that automated review collection, customer follow-up, and local marketing for small businesses, the kind of restaurants, salons, and home-services firms that lack in-house marketing staff.

The March 24, 2020 letter & pandemic relief
