A visionary and a creator: Michael Koch on forming tech giant HubKonnect

Visionary leaders such as Elon Musk and Steve Jobs are placed on a pedestal by many for their pure innovative genius and leadership skills. It is common for such leaders to be regarded as prodigies who are merely smarter, more creative, or luckier than the average person, but this is not the case. As Michael Koch demonstrates through his relentless discipline to his rigorous lifestyle, the traits shared by successful CEOs can be sharpened over time.

Koch, who was named the 2022 Artificial Intelligence Entrepreneur of the Year by the Business Intelligence Group, continues to revolutionize the entire industry of digital marketing through his focus on surpassing the status quo with his artificial intelligence-based solutions. Having successfully pioneered four privately held technology companies from the helm as their founder and CEO, he has been developing the skills he needs to continue to transform the world for over a decade.

As part of his vision to lay the foundations for what will become Web 4.0, an evolutionary stage of the internet in which humans and machines coalesce in technological symbiosis, Koch has been spearheading tech giant HubKonnect as its CEO. Through HubKonnect, Koch provides data-driven local marketing solutions for clients, providing a bridge across the gap between companies and the effective utilization of data and AI technology.

HubKonnect, which was awarded QSR Magazine’s Applied Technology Award in 2018, is an advanced AI platform that utilizes big data to deliver clients a tailored marketing strategy based on local knowledge of what will drive engagement and sales at an individual store level.

HubKonnect leads the data-driven age of customization the digital marketing industry is experiencing at the moment through its provision of a more curated local approach.

HubKonnect’s solution: an AI-powered approach that collects consumer data from a local scale and combines this with machine learning to provide attuned, targeted strategies, timing, tactics, and assets. .
