Sean Fenlon
Chief Executive Officer
Sean Fenlon founded DoublePositive
Marketing Group in 2004 after recognizing the tremendous opportunity
that exists at the intersection of data-driven
online marketing and live-human-based call centers. Sean has led the
company to its current position as the industry leader in “live” leads
for sales professionals.
As CEO of DoublePositive, Sean is responsible for the company’s
performance, strategic vision, and the continued development of DoublePositive’s
patented business model and related optimization technologies.
Sean began his career as a mortgage broker, growing his organization
into one of the largest in the region during the mid- to late-90s. In
1999, Sean was the founder and CEO of ListenSmart.com, a business that
helped to shift the music industry paradigm and leverage new opportunities
for independent musicians.
Most recently, Sean was the co-owner of TheLoanPage.com, an Internet
mortgage leads company with a business model very similar to that of
Lending Tree. Under his watch, TheLoanPage.com grew to over $10 million
in sales and over $3 million EBIDTA before being sold to Battery Ventures
at the end of 2003. The transaction represented the first-ever full acquisition
of a company by Battery Ventures.
Sean received his Bachelor’s degree in music from Towson University
and his Masters and Doctorate in Music from The Peabody Institute of
the Johns Hopkins University.
