Senior Vice President

Mr. James Bronner serves as the Senior Vice President of Trade Show Operations, Director of Technology and part owner of the multi-million dollar family-owned corporation Bronner Bros., Inc.

In addition to leading the company’s IT operations, Mr. Bronner oversees every facet of the annual Bronner Bros. International Beauty Show, which is widely regarded as the largest multi-cultural beauty show in the world. A serial entrepreneur, he is also Vice President of Century Systems Inc.

At age five, Mr. Bronner started his first business — a paper route. He learned to deliver papers, collect money and save his earnings before even learning to ride a bicycle. Inspired by a stockbroker who spoke at his 7th grade career day, at age 12 he entered the stock market with money earned from his paper route. At the age of 14 he went into business with his oldest brother, and became the Vice President of Century Systems Inc., which today makes and sells health food products in over 15,000 health food and drug stores nationwide.

Mr. Bronner attended Benjamin E. Mays High School where he served as senior class Vice President, Co-captain of the golf team and graduated as the top black male in his class. He went on to graduate from Georgia Tech in computer engineering on a 4-year academic scholarship. While a junior at Georgia Tech he became an independent distributor for Supralife International and became their youngest 5-star leader in history, with over 800 distributors under him in less than 6 months.

When Mr. Bronner received his driver’s license at the age of 16 he instantly began helping other youth by driving the youth church bus every Sunday. At the age of 27 he accepted his call into the ministry and became the youth pastor of the Ark of Salvation.

The youngest of six sons, Mr. Bronner and his wife Stephanie are the proud parents of three boys and four girls. After birthing seven children in their first ten years of marriage, they decided to share their experiences and coauthored a book entitled, “Bedroom Talk.”

Bob Cargill / Artist

Suggested reading: The Bee And The Acorn by Paula Susan Wallace

Bob’s introduction to the world of advertising began when he was hired as a young Art Director for N.  W. Ayer and Son, in Philadelphia. The agency, Ayer Worldwide was successful and had a reputation for outstanding brand development.

Bob’s assignment on one of the most exciting creative teams within the agency, found him working on United Airlines, Sealtest, Dole Pineapple and Hanes. That unique experience in one of the world’s most successful and creative advertising agencies was the beginning of his excitement for advertising.

In 1965 he was hired to be the creative director of the Atlanta office of the McCann Marschalk Company Advertising Agency. Working on the Coca-Cola Company Brands. During that time he was invited to Lecture on several occasions at the Atlanta College of Art. This was his introduction to the Associates of the Atlanta College of Art, which led to an invitation to become a member of the Board of Directors, Inc. and Bob became CEO and Chairman of the Board.

Bob founded and was president of Cargill and Associates, Inc., a very successful venture with national awards and international recognition. In 1990 the agency merged with Cole, Henderson and Drake Inc. and bob became the CEO and Chairman of the agency.

While chairman of CHD, Bob developed a serious interest in watercolor painting. That interest led him to want to explore the medium full time. Bob says, “my years in advertising automatically trained me to decide on what makes a good design and/or a good visual to please the eye. These skills transfer to his paintings, which have been described as “fresh and crafted”.

Now a member of the Georgia Watercolor Society, Atlanta Artist Center and currently a member of Atlanta Advisory Council of the Savannah College of Art and Design. Bob maintains an intense interest in improving his painting skills and continues to attend watercolor courses and workshops with nationally renowned skip Lawrence, Tony Couch, Albert Handell and Bill Condit.

Bob is married. He and his wife Barbara have two grown children, Colleen and Todd.

Jeff & Alex Headshot 2

 

 

Alexandra Woolverton  / www.GetSparkedATL.com

Alexandra attended the University of Florida’s Pre-Veterinary program and graduated with a Bachelors degree in Animal Science.  After much thought she decided that she found herself getting too emotionally attached to sick animals and going straight into the workforce after graduation would better suit her.  And through her career choices she fell in love with entrepreneurship.  Always a dream big kind of girl, her first job out of college was in Marketing and Sales for a little start-up by her sister’s best friend, Sara Blakely.  She saw Blakely take Spanx from the back of her apartment to a booming billion dollar pantyhose empire.  That was Alexandra’s first glimpse that big vision and hard work go hand in hand.  Her next endeavor was with a local Atlanta Sports Radio Station started and run by Andrew Saltzman and Stephen “Steak” Shapiro.  Two men in their thirties that had a dream and a vision to own their own radio station.  There she was an Account Manager who created and sold sports marketing campaigns.  During her time there she met and married Jeff Woolverton, an on-air personality at the station.  After they began a family with the arrival of their first born, Alexandra realized that it might be time to be a flexible working mom and go into business for herself.  She came across a newer Direct Sales company, Stella & Dot, where she launched and built her new career as a Stylist who set up pop-a-shop trunk shows in people’s homes selling fashion accessories.  At Stella & Dot she was a Senior Director and Founding Leader who led a team of over 500 other stylists across the country, was Top in Sales for North America and Top in Recruitment.  During this journey of home parties, working full time hours she found she had put her health on the back burner.  She was exhausted, found herself just trying to get through the day and her weight was the same as the day she walked in the door carrying her second baby home form the hospital three years prior.   Her husband, Jeff, had been drinking AdvoCare’s Spark for over a decade but she had never really looked into the products or company for herself but needed a lifestyle shift so she gave it a go.  In her first 24 days she lost 8 pounds and unlocked energy for the first time in a long while.  Over the next 3 months she lost a total of 35 pounds and took her body fat from 34% to 9.9%.  People began to notice more pep in her step and the healthy changes taking place.  As they began to ask, she began to share and a business was born.  AdvoCare is world-class nutrition that provides distributors solutions in two key areas: health and finances.  Alexandra and Jeff are looking forward to helping Atlantans and beyond feel and look their best through AdvoCare’s food first program and elite nutritional supplements and building teams of others who in conjunction with taking care of themselves and others want to fight for the same freedoms that American’s deserve: financial and time freedom for families.  www.GetSparkedATL.com

 

Jeff  Woolverton / www.GetSparkedATL.com

Jeff attended Florida State University and since childhood has had a passion for all things sports.  In 1996 he moved to Atlanta during the Olympics and enjoyed interning in sports broadcasting.  He found a home at Sports Radio 790 The Zone as a producer for their popular Mayhem in the AM morning show and within a few years had an on-air show of his own during the mid-day slot.  He spent over a decade there and enjoyed opportunities such as being the Sideline reporter for the Georgia Tech Football team.  But his love of sports is also paralleled with his love of coaching youth sports.  Jeff has volunteered for over 15 years as a baseball and basketball coach at Northside Youth Organization also known as NYO out of Chastain Park.  In 2014, Jeff left the corporate world to start his own business: Woolverton Sports Academy.  Through camps, clinics and private lessons Jeff has taken his passion and made a career out of it.  Through his affiliation with AdvoCare he is able to help his youth athletes as well as his players who have gone onto play at the collegiate level by helping them get the best nutrition in their body through food choices and safe supplementation.    www.GetSparkedATL.com

I’m a dreamer of “the way things can be,” and have a passion for finding simple and elegant solutions to complex problems by utilizing innovative technology.

A thought leader within the SaaS and retail industries, I’ve worked with some of the biggest brands you know, including Home Depot, HP, Best Buy, Target, Apple, and Nokia. With over 20 years of experience, my team has driven sales quotas exceeding $10 billion, reduced turnover by 54% and increased top line revenues by over 300% YoY through leading large scale business transformational efforts throughout North America. Behind it all was a focus on delivering phenomenal customer experiences.

Currently, I serve as President, Americas of Deputy, a leading cloud technology equally loved by managers and employees who want to take charge of work and life in the hourly economy. In this role, I lead Deputy’s North and South America service areas, overseeing marketing, business development, strategic partnerships and customer experience, to ensure Deputy can spread its awesome workforce management solution with the entire world.

When I’m not helping businesses transform the experience of hourly employment for the 21st century, you can find me somewhere in the outdoors fishing, biking and hiking or asking someone “why” for the hundred-bajillionth time.
