Jay Owen
jay owen · st. augustine, fl

Operator first.
Speaker second.

Jay founded Business Builders in 1999 and still runs it out of St. Augustine, Florida — a working agency that has lived through every platform shift since the dot-com bubble.

He is also the Executive Director of Communications at Church of Eleven22, a multi-site church reaching 25,000 people every weekend across six campuses.

Between those two seats he has spent the last three years deploying AI inside two very different organizations — and now teaches the patterns that actually stick after the keynote ends.
