Jon Rappoport

Jon Rappoport is a recovering advertising executive who studied at Northwestern University’s Medill School of Journalism before spending sixteen years helping brands find their voice in the agency world. In 2013, he founded Rapid Fig, a communication consultancy that helps leaders and rising professionals communicate and with greater clarity and impact. His career has taken him from newsrooms to boardrooms, but some of the stories that stayed with him most happened far from either. Jon lives just in the Chicago area with his wife and three children.
