Neil Barrow is the founder of EnabledBD, which builds better business development functions for professional, financial, and consulting service firms, and UndergroundBD, an online community for business development professionals looking for clarity around upskilling and community support.

He’s a software sales guy who was (fortunately) talked into working in public accounting, leading origination efforts at two different firms for more than eight years. Since then, he’s worked with more than 20 firms to build or enhance their business development (spoiler: BD is not a soft skill). More importantly, he is a Certified Cicerone (beer sommelier) and loves connecting with friends and strangers to chat about business development and the best beers to try. Most importantly, he lives in Fort Worth with his wife of 10 years and their little one, who is dominating kindergarten.
