About our Guests:

Elena Krasnow is a dynamic member of the StreetCred PR team who plays an essential role in several key aspects of the day-to-day agency activities.

With her high degree of emotional intelligence and unwavering commitment to StreetCred’s high standard of client service, she is adept at making clients and teams feel valued while establishing strong, lasting relationships.

Jason Lahita, with a background in PR at United Capital Financial Advisors and an MBA from UC Irvine, took the leap and established his first PR agency in 2012. In 2018, he returned to his roots of working within RIAs when he joined Integrated Partners—a fantastic financial firm that evoked memories of his time at United Capital. Jason spearheaded their PR efforts for two years before venturing into a new phase in 2020. Thus, StreetCred PR was born, with Integrated Partners as its inaugural client. With the addition of new clients and a team of exceptional professionals, StreetCred PR has since gone from strength to strength.

Jimmy Moock has, for the past 17 years, led campaigns for a diverse range of clients in the financial services ecosystem, including registered investment advisory firms, mutual fund complexes, hedge funds, ETFs, family offices, and more. As the legend goes, Jimmy’s prowess in public relations was apparent during his summer internship in 1998 when he secured a client appearance on CNBC’s “Power Lunch” within his very first week on the job. Building on this early success, he immersed himself in the fast-paced and highly creative public relations landscape of New York City. Jimmy has since played a pivotal role in shaping countless C-level executives’ critical business communications initiatives.
