Sam Caucci    

CEO & Founder of 1Huddle

Sam Caucci is the CEO and Founder of 1Huddle, a workforce tech company that upskills, trains, and motivates employees through the use of science-backed, quick-burst mobile games. Caucci has managed and coached sales and leadership teams for publicly held, private sector, and franchised companies across the globe for more than 15 years.

In 2015, Caucci founded 1Huddle on the belief that every worker deserves access to the job training, support, and mentorship needed to win on the job. With a diverse array of clients across the globe, 1Huddle has impacted people in a wide range of sectors. Key clients include the U.S. Air Force, UEFA, vineyard vines, Loews Hotels, ESPN, Audible (an Amazon Company), Novartis, Madison Square Garden, the City of Newark, and more. With a mobile-first approach to preparing the modern worker, a mobile library of 3,000+ quick-burst employee skill games, an on-demand game marketplace that covers 16 unique workforce skill areas, and the option for personalized content, 1Huddle is changing the way organizations think about their training – from a one-time boring onboarding experience to a continuous motivational tool. Put simply, 1Huddle is making training more fun, effective, equitable, and accessible for the entire workforce.

To achieve 1Huddle’s mission of powering the people who power teams, Caucci has delved into community, educational, and political initiatives that are making a social impact across the country. Most recently, he served as a member of the Workforce Innovation and Economic Innovation Policy Committees for the Biden-Harris 2020 Presidential Campaign. He also sits on the Board of Directors for the City of Newark’s Workforce Development Board. Caucci is a well-known community leader in New Jersey who has helped prepare thousands of students to successfully enter the workforce through his role as an Adjunct Professor at the Global Sports Business MS Program at Rutgers University. He also sits on the Advisory Board at Athlete Ally, a nonprofit that provides public awareness campaigns, educational programming, and tools and resources to foster inclusive sports communities. By partnering with nonprofits at the local and national level, Caucci has helped bring much-needed educational and training resources to those who need it most. Under Caucci’s leadership, 1Huddle partners with organizations like Covenant House, the All Stars Project, and Saving Jane to make a lasting impact in communities across America.

Caucci is proud to have been a part of the sales and service training of thousands of workers. He is the author of the #1 Amazon Bestseller, Not Our Job: How College has Destroyed a Generation of Workers and How to Fix it. Caucci has also been featured in several prominent media outlets including The Wall Street Journal, CNN, CNBC, Fox Business, Fox News, The Huffington Post, ESPN, Yahoo Finance, Forbes and Bloomberg.
