Brian Kuzdas, 61, the President, Chief Executive Officer and Co-Founder of the entire S2A business enterprise and the sole member of the Board, is an entrepreneur, business visionary and team builder who began his real estate career in 1985 specializing in commercial real estate. In 1990 at age 26, he opened Brookshire Investments, a boutique commercial office, mainly to represent retail and multi-family projects in the Chicago metropolitan area.

From 1997 through 2007, Brian shifted gears, acquiring more than $350 million in Chicago real estate, and converting more than 4,000 apartments to condominiums through his brokerage, “OwnACondo.com.” At its peak, OwnACondo.com had 200 employees and had become a household name in Chicago with its name on the right field wall of the Chicago White Sox stadium, in Wrigley Field, and on more than 500 expressway billboards. In 2018, in the process of purchasing a property in La Jolla, CA to teardown, Brian Kuzdas was introduced to the modular concept of building homes. After quickly recognizing the clear benefits of building indoors, he started S2A Modular with the intention of building a MegaFactory in California.

Mr. Kuzdas opened S2A Modular to be able to build homes faster, stronger, more energy efficient and for less money. S2A Modular isleading the modular revolution—by delivering energy-efficient, technology-integrated smart structures that dramatically improve how people live and build.

One of Dean’s first jobs was working summers at his family’s construction business where he quickly learned the value of forging relationships with colleagues and customers to create a powerful network. Dean later attended Purdue University and used those lessons to leverage his network, starting his career in technology in data center operations with Merrill Lynch’s Board of Trade in Chicago. Within three (3) years of starting at Merrill Lynch, Dean opened his own technology firm developing apps and solutions for various industries including banking, manufacturing, finance, insurance, and real estate development. Many of those solutions included accounting systems capable of managing order processing, inventory control, purchasing, billing, and shop floor control which led into several Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) integrations. Advancements in technology and proliferation of the Internet caused him to shift to the development of front office operations, more specifically, marketing solutions like Customer Relationship Management (CRM) platforms and other early marketing automation technologies. He later added web design, more advanced automation and digital lead generation to his list of professional services. During this time, he also provided his clients with integrated advertising solutions across radio, television, print and outdoor mediums.

In 1994, Dean founded the tech company “Delcom System,” which provided hardware and telecommunication services to large enterprise corporations. This allowed him to expand his CRM services to call centers that handled both inbound and outbound calls for leading companies including Sears, Discover, Blue Cross, State Farm, Citicorp, and others. In 2003, Dean transitioned his focus to digital marketing, CRM and utilizing the emerging world social media networks on platforms like LinkedIn. Those experiences paved the way for Dean to found Forward Progress, a Chicago-based Investor Acquisition Marketing (IAM) company that provides integrated marketing solutions to raise capital and drive demand using a proven, digital thought-leadership methodology that consistently drives clients’ business growth. Then, in 2012, Dean launched the industry-leading influencer development platform called Social Jack™ to provide training and equip organizations and professionals to accelerate their digital influence. Dean is a highly sought-after speaker who brings expertise, enthusiasm and energetic drive to his popular B2B influencer-themed podcast, “The Influence Factory.” Dean’s book, “FIRST, The Street Guide to Digital Business Influence,” contains a proven, step-by-step formula for business professionals to fuel thought-leadership and recognition in their industries.
