“The Ladies”
Affectionately dubbed “The Ladies” by zakHill alums, Kelley and Cynthia have worked together for over 20 years. The two first met at Ticketmaster
as Los Angeles transplants and can share many stories about building
a business and maintaining a close friendship while doing it.
Cynthia Hill
president
I spent almost 10 years in my favorite city, New York, working in the finance sector. I never thought I'd leave but the internet boom called me to Silicon Beach 1.0. Maybe it was the smell of the night blooming jasmine, or the years I spent as a teenager working at an amusement park guessing people's age, weight, and birthday month that lured me to stay in Tinseltown and get into entertainment.

Kelley McIntosh
president
After cutting my teeth in marketing and sponsorship for sports and entertainment organizations in Colorado (marked by few outdoor adventure detours), I followed the path of opportunity to Los Angeles. Naturally, I soon turned to content. Fun fact: I spent the summer of 1996 working the Olympic Torch Relay and saw much of the U.S. at 6 mph!
