Who We Are
Philly Trend is a premium executive leadership platform designed to offer exclusive insight into the CEOs, investors, and senior leaders shaping our region through curated, invitation-only conversations.
Greater Philadelphia is home to globally competitive companies across life sciences, healthcare, financial services, technology and manufacturing. Yet, senior leaders rarely have structured opportunities to exchange insight across industries in an intentional, peer-driven setting. Philly Trend was created to provide that forum, offering business networking events and seminars on business and legal topics for the region's executive leaders.
Philly Trend is led by John Martini, Office Managing Partner of Polsinelli’s Philadelphia office and one of the nation’s most respected executive compensation advisors, having counseled CEOs, boards, and investors for more than three decades. Known for his strategic clarity when the stakes are highest, John advises leadership teams across industries at pivotal moments of growth and governance. As a lawyer, entrepreneur and proud Greater Philadelphia native, he brings global perspective and deep local roots, as he advocates for the advancement of the region.
