Sean Ellis : a British fashion photographer
Sean Ellis (born 1970) is a British film director, writer, producer and fashion photographer. He is best known for his films Cashback (2004), The Broken (2008), Metro Manila (2013), in the Tagalog language, and Anthropoid (2016).
In 2006, he was nominated for an Academy Award in the category “Best Short Film, Live Action” for his film, Cashback. The feature film was produced more than a year after the original 2004 short film was completed. Following a decision in December 2005 to proceed with the feature, Ellis completed the expanded script in seven days. After getting commitments from his cast in March he secured financing and the film went into production in May. This schedule was exceedingly condensed by modern film making standards.
His next major film, The Broken, premiered on 18 January 2008 as part of the 2008 Sundance Film Festival. It also was the first choice in Horrorfest 2009 and was part of the Sitges Film Festival 2008.

Sean Ellis : an Entrepreneur
Sean Ellis is an entrepreneur, angel investor, and startup advisor. He is the CEO of GrowthHackers and was previously founder and CEO of Qualaroo, an automated user research tool.
Sean Ellis is widely regarded as the Godfather of Growth, and is credited with coining the phrase ‘growth hacking’. Where do I begin talking about him? Sean has held leadership roles with gaming platform Uproar and the remote desktop tool LogMeIn – and pioneered the cross functional approach to growing businesses that has since become known as ‘growth’, ‘growth hacking’ or ‘growth marketing’.
All of that was before he worked on some of his biggest wins – most famously, he helped set up Dropbox’s referral program. If you remember back in 2008, if you invited a friend to Dropbox, both you & your friend would get storage space for free from Dropbox. This was nothing short of revolutionary at the time. I remember this not only generating such incredible buzz at the time but also resulting in some breakout growth for Dropbox, laying the foundations for the unicorn that it’s become today.
Sean also founded Qualaroo, and advised many fast growing companies including Eventbrite & Lookout – and helped them grow faster. Today he runs GrowthHackers.com, a community focused around growth that organically resulted in a growth-focused SaaS product called NorthStar. Sean has also co-authored the books Growth Engines and Hacking Growth, which are considered definitive resources on growth.

In so many ways, Sean pioneered ideas about growth that were way ahead of their time – and he did this consistently over time. We’ll talk about so many of these wins, and about the culture of growth & experimentation that he’s both championed & helped drive the adoption of.
He attended the University of California, Davis and graduated in 1994.
Ellis was the head of marketing at LogMeIn and Uproar from launch to IPO. He was the first marketer at Dropbox, Lookout and Xobni.
He is an advisor to KISSmetrics and Eventbrite, mentor at 500 Startups, and a Board Member for Mavenlink and SignNow (acquired by Barracuda Networks). He also is an investor in Bitium.
Ellis has contributed to Entrepreneur Magazine and The Wall Street Journal.
Ellis is the host of The Breakout Growth Podcast, author of Hacking Growth (published in 16 languages), keynote speaker and runs workshops around the world to implement a cross-functional approach to growth he calls growth hacking (a term he coined in 2010).
Sean helped to bring five companies to market as VP Marketing/Growth that exceeded billion-dollar valuations including Dropbox, LogMeIn, Eventbrite, Uproar, and Lookout in addition to launching and selling two businesses as Founder/CEO.
