About Ken Betancourt

As a Senior Member Development Executive at The Conference Board, I engage with C-suite executives and senior leaders from organizations generating over $1 billion in annual revenue. I help them navigate today’s most pressing business challenges by fostering meaningful peer connections and introducing them to our exclusive, confidential councils, where executives share best practices, gain strategic insights, and collaborate with industry peers.Taking a consultative approach, I focus on understanding each organization’s priorities and aligning them with the research, discussions, and networks that provide the most value. By facilitating connections and access to thought leadership, I help senior executives leverage their expertise and drive business growth.Before joining The Conference Board, I was a Senior Account Executive at PepsiCo, where I led teams of seven to fifteen direct reports and drove $11 to $17 million in revenue across ~200 convenience store & grocery accounts. I hold a B.S.B.A. in Marketing (Professional Selling track) from the University of Central Florida and a Professional Selling certification from Sandler Training.Beyond my professional work, I am passionate about volunteering both domestically and internationally. Fluent in speaking Spanish, I thrive in diverse environments and enjoy building connections that foster collaboration and progress.
