Corporate Vision Babylist Appoints Jill Cress as Chief Marketing Officer to Lead Next Chapter of Brand Growth Babylist, the leading platform for expecting and new parents, trusted by 10 million people making purchases in the US, announced the appointment of Jill Cress as Chief Marketing Officer, effective May 2026. Reporting to Founder and CEO Natalie Gordon, Cress will lead the company’s full marketing function, including brand, performance, content, and experiential. The appointment comes as Babylist expands beyond its universal registry into a broader digital destination for modern parenting, fueling new growth opportunities and deepening Babylist’s position as the most trusted name in the $235B kids & baby market. Cress has spent more than two decades transforming how some of the world’s most recognizable brands connect with new audiences and create more engaging customer journeys. Cress joins Babylist at a moment of significant momentum. In 2025, Babylist grew revenue 45% year over year to over $750M and marked its eighth consecutive year of profitability. Looking ahead, Babylist is expanding its offerings to better serve families, including new initiatives in financial services and education. “Jill repositioned PayPal for the modern consumer, made National Geographic the most-followed brand on Instagram, and transformed H&R Block into a modern fintech platform. We are at a similar inflection point at Babylist and she knows how to take a brand that people trust and make it one they can’t stop talking about,” said Babylist Founder & CEO Natalie Gordon. “We’ve spent over 10 years earning that trust with families, and now it’s time to make the world feel it. Jill is the person to do that.” Cress comes to Babylist with a track record of operating at the intersection of brand, customer experience, and enterprise growth, shaped by consumer insights that fuel overall digital strategy. Most recently, as Chief Marketing and Experience Officer at H&R Block, she led the company’s evolution from its legacy tax business into fintech, including the launch of a mobile banking platform while creating emotional connection and fandom in a category not known for either. At PayPal, she repositioned the company from a checkout button into a full digital wallet platform, supporting more than 100 million new users. She transformed National Geographic Partners into a digital-first content leader — making it the most followed brand on Instagram with over 100 million followers — and spent more than 20 years at Mastercard, rising to Executive Vice President. Named one of Forbes’ Most Influential CMOs and a Matrix Award recipient, Cress currently serves as a Board Director at Wealth Enhancement Group. “What drew me to Babylist is the same thing that has driven every chapter of my career — a beloved brand sitting at the edge of its biggest opportunity yet. I’ve always believed that transformational growth is a team sport, and the results prove it — from repositioning PayPal for new audiences to building NatGeo’s digital subscription business — every breakthrough came from bringing the right people together around a bold idea,” Cress shared. “Babylist is ready for that, and I can’t wait to build it alongside Natalie and this extraordinary team.” In 2025, Babylist drew national attention with a campaign to support parents during tariffs, mobilized its community through a large-scale donation effort during the LA fires, and cemented its position as the largest baby brand on TikTok with more than 1.4 million followers. The company was recently named one of Fast Company’s Brands That Matter, an Ad Age Breakout Brand, and one of Inc. 5000’s fastest-growing private companies. Building on the success of its Beverly Hills flagship showroom, Babylist will open a New York showroom in late summer 2026. As CMO, Cress will lead the brand into this next chapter.

News Poor Performance Criteria Can Undermine Employee Trust, McLean & Company Tells HR Leaders As organizations continue to refine performance management, many still struggle to define criteria that reflect today’s work realities and support fair, effective talent decisions. New research from global HR research and advisory firm McLean & Company highlights how poorly designed performance criteria can weaken trust, increase stress, and undermine the employee experience. The firm’s resource, Guide to Establishing Performance Criteria, provides practical guidance to help HR leaders build criteria that align with organizational context and improve evaluation outcomes. At a time when employees are paying closer attention to how their performance is measured and organizations are under pressure to get those decisions right, McLean & Company’s research, titled Guide to Establishing Performance Criteria, offers timely guidance for building criteria that are clearer, fairer, and better aligned with today’s workplace realities. In the newly published findings, the firm explains that performance criteria should evaluate both what employees accomplish and how they accomplish it, helping HR leaders create a more consistent and credible foundation for performance management. McLean & Company outlines in its recently released industry guide that when performance criteria are misaligned, the impact extends well beyond the performance management framework. The firm cautions that organizations often overemphasize outcome-driven metrics, rely on generic criteria that do not reflect role context, or overload evaluations with too many expectations, all of which can damage the employee experience and reduce confidence in the process. According to data insights from McLean & Company’s HR Trends Survey 2025, organizations that fail to provide a positive employee experience see voluntary turnover rates that are 40% higher, while findings from McLean & Company’s HR Trends Survey 2026 show that employees in these organizations are 1.27 times more likely to report elevated stress levels. “Performance criteria should aim to make success clearer, not more complicated,” says Leann Schneider, director, HR Research & Advisory Services, at McLean & Company. “HR leaders need to define expectations that reflect both outcomes and behaviors, keep the number of criteria focused, and ensure employees can see how their work connects to broader organizational goals.” McLean & Company’s research finds that clearly defined criteria help clarify expectations, increase employee engagement, improve productivity, support fairer evaluations, and reinforce organizational culture. The new guide further notes that employees who understand their job expectations are 8.6 times more likely to be engaged in their work, based on McLean & Company’s Engagement Survey data (2023-2025). It also highlights that HR respondents who rate their department’s effectiveness in performance management as high are 4.7 times more likely to report having an effective employee engagement strategy, according to the firm’s HR Management and Governance Survey data (2023-2025). Key Challenges HR Leaders Face When Establishing Performance Criteria Despite efforts to modernize performance management, many organizations still rely on performance criteria that are too generic, too complex, or poorly aligned with how work actually gets done. McLean & Company’s findings show that when criteria miss the mark, they can erode trust, create confusion, and make it harder for organizations to evaluate performance in a way that feels fair, focused, and credible. McLean & Company’s Practical Framework for Establishing Performance Criteria To help organizations address these issues, McLean & Company outlines a structured approach to building more relevant and manageable performance criteria. The resource guides HR leaders through the following priorities: 1. Review organizational context by grounding criteria in the organization’s performance management philosophy, strategic objectives, employee segment needs, and operational realities. 2. Explore criteria options by assessing which combination of goals, role expectations, skills, competencies, values, and organizational citizenship behaviors best fits each employee segment. 3. Weight and communicate criteria by assigning importance based on what matters most across roles, functions, and segments, while equipping managers with the tools and context needed to explain changes, address resistance, and gather employee feedback. “When criteria are grounded in role realities and reinforced through communication, feedback, and coaching, organizations are better positioned to support employee growth and make performance management more effective,” outlines Justine Czencz, manager, HR Research & Advisory Services at McLean & Company. The Guide to Establishing Performance Criteria includes practical guidance on selecting criteria, determining appropriate weighting, tailoring approaches for different employee segments, and preparing leaders to communicate expectations effectively..
Feature Why Every Marketing Agency Needs an AI Wingman By Peter Juhasz, Founder and CEO of Syrvi Marketing agencies have always thrived on creativity, instinct, and the ability to read people. At their best, they blend strategic thinking with an intuitive understanding of what audiences care about, but the pace of change in modern marketing is forcing agencies to rethink how they operate. The volume of channels, data, and audience touchpoints has exploded. Prospects interact with brands across email, social platforms, search engines, messaging apps, and communities, often all within the same day. Expectations for personalisation have risen just as quickly and what once required a large team can now be attempted by a single marketer armed with the right tools. This is where artificial intelligence is quietly reshaping the agency model. Not as a replacement for marketers, but as something closer to a wingman: a partner that amplifies human capability, removes friction, and helps agencies move faster without sacrificing quality. The scale problem facing agencies One of the biggest challenges for agencies today is scale. Clients expect campaigns that are more personalised, more responsive, and more measurable than ever before. Yet agency teams are still constrained by time and capacity. Writing tailored outreach messages, researching prospects, analysing engagement patterns, and adjusting campaigns manually can consume enormous amounts of effort. The reality is that much of modern marketing work is repetitive. Prospect research, lead qualification, performance monitoring, and message optimisation often follow predictable patterns. These are precisely the types of tasks where AI can make a meaningful difference. Instead of replacing marketers, AI can take over the heavy lifting that slows them down. It can analyse data faster, identify patterns earlier, and automate processes that previously required hours of manual work. When that happens, the human team is free to focus on what truly differentiates great agencies: creative thinking, relationship building, and strategic insight. The shift from tools to teammates For years, marketing technology has promised efficiency, but many tools have added complexity rather than removing it. Agencies now juggle a patchwork of platforms for analytics, outreach, social media, CRM systems, and automation workflows. AI is beginning to change this dynamic. Rather than acting as another tool in the stack, modern AI systems are evolving into collaborative assistants. They can observe patterns across campaigns, suggest improvements, draft variations of messaging, and flag opportunities that marketers may otherwise miss. Think of AI less as software and more as a colleague that never gets tired of analysing data. For example, AI can help agencies identify which prospects are most likely to respond, adjust messaging based on engagement signals, or recommend the optimal time and channel for outreach. These insights can dramatically improve campaign performance while reducing the trial-and-error approach that often dominates marketing experimentation. Human creativity still leads the way There is a persistent misconception that AI will make marketing more generic, but from my experience, in reality, the opposite is true. When used effectively, AI frees marketers from mechanical tasks so they can invest more time in creative strategy. Instead of spending hours gathering data or testing endless variations of copy manually, teams can concentrate on the bigger picture: brand storytelling, campaign ideas, and customer experience. Creativity remains the driving force behind memorable marketing and AI simply provides the analytical support that helps those ideas land more effectively. In many ways, the best marketing teams of the future will look similar to the best teams today. They will still be imaginative, curious, and collaborative, but the difference is that they will have an intelligent system working alongside them, helping translate creative ideas into scalable campaigns. A new operating model for agencies Interestingly, the rise of AI is also pushing agencies to rethink how they structure their teams. Traditionally, agencies have scaled by adding more people, however as client demand grows, so do the number of account managers, campaign specialists, and analysts. This model becomes increasingly difficult to sustain as expectations for speed and personalisation increase. AI offers a different path. Agencies that integrate AI into their workflows can operate with far greater agility with smaller teams managing more campaigns, experimenting more frequently, and responding to performance data in real time. Essentially, AI allows agencies to punch above their weight; a team of five can deliver the output that once required fifteen. That shift is not just about efficiency. It also allows agencies to stay competitive in an environment where clients expect measurable impact rather than simply activity. The future: marketers and machines working together The agencies that thrive over the next decade will not be those that simply adopt AI tools, it’ll be the ones that learn how to collaborate with AI effectively. This means rethinking workflows, training teams to work alongside intelligent systems, and recognising that technology should enhance human expertise rather than overshadow it.
Small Business Awards 2023 | 7 The role of the marketer is not disappearing. If anything, it’s being reinvented and as a result becoming more important. Strategy, empathy, and storytelling cannot be automated. What can be automated is the repetitive work that once stood in the way of those strengths. In that sense, AI is not replacing marketing talent. It is amplifying it. For agencies willing to embrace that partnership, the opportunity is significant. With the right AI wingman, marketing teams can move faster, think bigger, and deliver results that were previously out of reach. And in a world where attention is scarce and competition is relentless, that advantage can make all the difference.
Corporate Vision Reimagining Trust by Creating it at Scale Winning Best Background Screening & Compliance Platform 2026 – USA is the kind of recognition that tells half the story for Yardstik. The other half of their story is everything that happens after the check. In a world where AI-driven fraud and synthetic identities are outpacing the tools built to stop them, a background check is no longer enough - trust has to be built continuously. Yardstik built the infrastructure to do exactly that. We caught up with CEO Andrew Johnson on how their Human Trust Platform is redefining workforce trust for an era where the old way of screening simply doesn’t cut it anymore. Headquartered in Minneapolis, Yardstik exists to build real technological solutions that make trust measurable, accessible, and universal for organizations and their people alike. It does this by offering solutions that go beyond point-in-time screening and instead help clients to detect fraud, continuously monitor their workforces, verify credentials, and fight risk – allowing them to iron out any issues before they become real liabilities. Andrew explained: “With bad actors on the rise and AI actively being used to deceive (synthetic identities, AI-generated credentials, and digital impersonation), we believe technology should be the antidote, not the enabler.” This guiding ethos is reflected through the company’s core values of innovation, courage, integrity, and a genuine commitment to people, with these being the cornerstones of a start-up truly dedicated to challenging outdated screening systems – not merely for disruption’s sake, but simply because the old way no longer works. Setting the scene, Andrew told us how, despite trust being something foundational to the human experience, workforce screening was, for decades, treated like a tick-box exercise. It was very much a case of running a quick background check at hire, filing it away, and then moving on. Yardstik set about bridging the gap between what trust actually necessitates and what the industry was delivering before it came along more than five years ago. The world has moved on considerably since traditional screening was built, and these one-time checks, point-in-time decisions, and abundance of blind spots are hallmarks of a much slower time. Today’s hiring landscape is much more demanding, making this approach not only outdated but downright dangerous. By going beyond background checks to include continuous monitoring both before and after a hire, Yardstik combines key areas such as fraud detection and credential monitoring to make trust ongoing. “Most background check companies give you a photograph – a single snapshot of a person at the moment of hire. We give you a live feed.” As the Human Trust Platform, Yardstik offers its clients a system that covers the full lifecycle of their workforce, detecting identity fraud, screening candidates, verifying credentials, and continuously monitoring their workforces in real time. Thus, whereas most legacy providers carrying out these kinds of services stop at hire, Yardstik
Small Business Awards 2023 | 9 keeps going to make trust real and measurable. More than just a distinctive feature, this shows that the way the company thinks about trust is fundamentally different. Moreover, given that it is a licensed Consumer Reporting Agency and a PBSA-accredited company, it is clear that compliance is something Yardstik takes very seriously. These certifications demonstrate that the compliance underpinning its platform is real, regulated, and built to last, which is not something others can replicate overnight. But what really makes Yardstik different is that, once its clients make the switch to its platform for all of their background screening, they realise that they were previously trying to solve the wrong problem. One background check was never enough, and no matter how much they invested in getting it right, it was always going to fall short compared to the ongoing protection Yardstik offers through its organisation-protecting solutions. Diving deeper into the motivation behind this platform, Andrew commented that Yardstik’s foundational belief is that the best teams need the best people. Getting the best people to make up the best teams is something they play an integral role in, keeping bad actors out of schools, hospitals, homes, and workplaces and protecting credible workers from being undercut by dishonest people harbouring bad intentions. “There’s a real human story on the other side of that data**,”** Andrew shared. “That’s what keeps us motivated.” Recently, this motivation has been channelled by the team into solving one of the most pressing issues their clients continue to face across their organisations: AI-driven identity fraud. When Liveops, a leading business process outsourcing provider, came to Yardstik seeking a solution for this challenge (it had become a target for sophisticated fraud applications using falsified identities as a result of being a company that attracts a high volume of remote workers), the team were happy to help. The crafty individuals partaking in this AI-driven identity fraud were not random people trying to sneak through the gate**;** they had been trained on how to game the vetting process. With there even being services out there helping these individuals exploit the system, it was clear from the beginning that this challenge was a very sophisticated one. Liveops did have measures in place to combat this, but since its setup relied solely on disconnected single-point solutions, there were plenty of gaps. Following extensive research, Yardstik was chosen by Liveops because the company could offer something that no other vendor could – an integrated flow where identity verification feeds directly into the background check, meaning the verified identity is always the one that is screened, as there is no opportunity to swap it out or manipulate it in between. As Tom Glaser, Liveops’ Information Security Officer, reported back, the results were immediate, with fewer fraud attempts made and candidate conversion improving. It was on the back of this successful partnership with Liveops that Yardstik made the decision to officially announce its Human Trust Platform in February just gone, ushering in a new era of workforce technology that brings together its Detect AI™, Identity Verification, and Continuous Criminal Monitoring solutions into one connected system. Given that only 19% of businesses currently use verification solutions beyond that initial point-of-hire screening, they are potentially risking lives, especially with the advent of AI, which has introduced new threats the industry has not yet caught up with. However, given that this team has spent several years building the technology infrastructure to fight back, catching the invisible signals that legacy systems often miss, they are in a position where the industry’s biggest problem is the very problem they actively solve. “Take AI-driven fraud seriously before it becomes your problem. Synthetic identities and AI-generated documents are no longer edge cases. They’re increasingly common, particularly for remote and gig roles. If your current screening process relies entirely on self-reported information with no identity verification layer, you have a gap worth closing now rather than after an incident.” With its Human Trust Platform making real-time monitoring, fraud prevention, enhanced candidate screening, credential verification, and more within reach for its clients, it is clear that Yardstik has carved out a reputation for itself as going beyond background screening to instead serve as a security partner for its clients’ operations and teams. As it continues to build a world where trust is not something that is conducted at a single point in time, but rather a tangible infrastructure that is continuously monitoring and working underneath every workforce, the company’s future plans involve expanding its real-time monitoring capabilities, deepening its AI fraud detection capacity, and ultimately becoming the first platform of its kind to integrate natively with AI agent and agentic onboarding workflows, so that a layer of trust can be added into AI-led onboarding. In the longer term, Andrew detailed: “We believe Yardstik will become the go-to trust infrastructure for the modern economy, not just concerning employment, but also across every platform where humans connect and where the cost of misplaced trust is real. We named this new category we have created ‘Human Trust Platform’ because we believe it describes not just what we are today, but also where the world is going.” Recognised as having the Best Background Screening & Compliance Platform 2026 – USA, Yardstik’s distinction can be seen further through its having been named a Best Place to Work for five consecutive years (2021–2025), as well as a Newsweek America’s Greatest Startup Workplaces 2025 award, placing it in the top 1% of over 20,000 evaluated start-ups nationally. All of this comes from the people building this platform believing in what it does and that they are building toward a future where trust isn’t a moment – it’s a layer beneath every hire, every credential, and every workforce. That infrastructure doesn’t yet exist at scale; they’re building it. Contact Details Email: [email protected] Contact: Andrew Johnson Company: Yardstik Web Address: https://yardstik.com/

From a financial perspective, GN will drive margin expansion supported by its product differentiation and its scalable operations setup, whilst the asset-light business model will support healthy cash flows. Elitsa shared: “This period marks a strategic transformation, with the goal of driving the sustainable and innovative growth of GN’s strong brands while improving profitability, maintaining a strong financial position, and investing in future technologies.” We at Corporate Vision would like to congratulate GN on its recent successes, and wish the company the best of luck as it embarks on this new, bold journey.
