Charlie Furnner

Cedarburg

Summary

Motivated and outgoing young professional with a passion for sales and a growing obsession with AI and its potential to change how businesses operate. I’ve built my own brand, made 120 cold calls a day to business owners and execs, and learned how to connect quickly, handle rejection, and keep pushing. I’m looking to join a fast-paced AI company where I can bring energy, adaptability, and real hustle to a team that’s building something impactful.
