Founder / Managing Partner / Co-CEO at Dragon Horse Agency
I’m P. Blake Renda—entrepreneur, investor, and co-CEO of Veedor Holdings LLC based in Naples, FL, with a satellite office in Santa Monica, CA. Veedor Holdings LLC, in addition to making strategic investments, owns and operates Dragon Horse Agency, Dragon Horse Publishing, and Moxie Creed. My professional journey began while attending the University of Southern Calfornia as an intern at NBC Studios, which led to a full-time position upon graduating. I then pivoted to law and then finance which ultimately lead me to Wall Street in 1996, where I was part of small team in Palo Alto, CA managing over $20 billion in technology-sector assets at J. & W. Seligman & Co. and in 2000 I earned recognition as one of Institutional Investor Magazine’s “Best of the Buy Side.” In 2006, I joined the New Dimensions Growth Team of American Express Asset Management in La Jolla, CA, as the T/M/T manager across six growth funds with $40 billion plus in AUM. In 2004, I was nominated for Institutional Investor Magazine's "Best of the Buy Side." Those years instilled in me the importance of rigorously vetting opportunities and leading with foresight—skills that I have consistently applied to every entrepreneurial venture. From 2011 to 2015, I helped transform a boutique Florida skincare startup into a nationally recognized, multi-award-winning brand, culminating in its public listing via SPAC. I exited that company and launched Veedor Holdings LLC with my Co-Founder, Julie Koester. Today, we own and operate Dragon Horse Agency, a multi-award-winning, bi-coastal agency serving global clients known for delivering business strategy and marketing under one roof. We also own Dragon Horse Publishing, an award-winning publishing company, and Moxie Creed, a wellness lifestyle e-commerce company. Beyond the accolades, successes, challenges, and failures, I live with a deep belief in resilience, mentorship, and shared success. I’m a proud father, a former youth volleyball coach, and a passionate advocate of Ubuntu—"I am because we are." Whether scaling startups, navigating global markets, or building culture, I bring the same competitive spirit and collaborative ethos to every endeavor. Success isn't about accolades—it’s about legacy, community, and the courage to keep moving forward. As Winston Churchill said, “Success is not final; failure is not fatal; it is the courage to continue that counts.”

CEO at Manifest New Business Ltd
I help media, creative, PR and digital agencies win new clients. Left school at 16 and played synthesizer (Moogs and Korgs mainly if you're interested!) in a rock band. Did OK, we once played at Glastonbury I'll have you know, but that's another story! Then moved to London and worked in a bar for a while until I was 25. Then fell into sales thanks to a girl (now my wife). Worked in media sales for a while and then a branding firm doing their new business. From there I went to a sales promotion agency following which I set up my own company in 1992 and the rest, as they say, is history. I am a season ticket holder of a premier league club and watch them home and away; have two great kids (one boy one girl), two dogs (a Cocker Spaniel and an Old English Sheepdog / Boxer cross) and a cat. Live in West London. Which is wonderful.

Founder | Hubspot Marketing & RevOps at Contineofy
I have been in marketing for nearly two decades after watching the movie "What Women Want" and telling myself I wanted to work in marketing. Starting at the age of 16 as a telemarketer, I managed to work up the different levels and now specialize in demand generation, content marketing, and marketing automation, working with a variety of tools such as HubSpot, Wistia, PartnerStack, Pendo, Riverside, StoryLane, Google Adwords, and WebFlow. Over the years, I have been fascinated by all things marketing and technology. Even though my career started with telemarketing, trade show demonstrations, and graphic design, it quickly transitioned into web design, digital marketing, and content marketing in 2009. The reason I love digital marketing is that it is always changing. Although businesses should stay true to their brand, values, and strengths, they always have new ways of sharing their stories, values, and advice through different channels. I am continuously excited to discover and implement these new strategies in the companies I work for. Having experience with small businesses and startups as well as working for marketing agencies and Fortune 500 companies, I understand the benefits of creating processes and structure so that all members of the team can engage and collaborate and create a positive experience for customers. I truly believe that if you want to go fast, go alone; but if you want to go far, go together. By working together and building off the strengths of everyone on the team, the sky truly is the limit.

Shareholder at Quadros Migl & Crosby, PLLC
The daughter of a modern-day wildcatter and a day trader, both of whom are business owners, I grew up in Houston surrounded by business risk and the “ups and downs” of the oil and gas industry. So, it is no surprise I am considered very business-minded when it comes to advising my clients, whether it is about the acquisition of another company, the purchase of real estate, the negotiation of a commercial lease, or the setting up of a new business venture. While in law school, I gained valuable experience interning with the second largest CPA firm in the United States, the federal government, and a national non-profit organization. I spent my last year of law school as a Shapiro Fellow at the Securities and Exchange Commission. While there, I worked on high-profile securities litigation cases and investigations, and in some cases right alongside the Federal Bureau of Investigation, the Department of Justice, and the Internal Revenue Service. Upon graduation from law school, I went to work for a major accounting firm where I assisted major Houston oil and gas clients with international taxation transactions. I received my Bachelor of Business Administration in Accounting and General Business from Texas Tech University. Upon graduation, I was awarded “highest ranking graduate” from the Rawls College of Business. After completing undergraduate studies, I attended The George Washington University Law School where I received my Juris Doctorate in 2014. Upon graduation, I was awarded the Presidential Volunteer Service Award for extensive pro bono work with the homeless and unemployed in the heart of Washington, D.C. While handling multiple large acquisitions for a Fortune 200 company at the same time, I went back to school to obtain my L.L.M. and a Certificate in International Taxation from Georgetown University. Upon graduation, I was once again recognized for pro bono work in my local community. I am a managing partner with Quadros, Migl & Crosby PLLC, a growing boutique Texas business law firm with four locations throughout the state.
