Nice redesign. It is definitely more intriguing, for me at least, than the current exec site.

However, your current font choice for most of the text displays pretty badly on Chrome: http://i.imgur.com/ERhwXio.png

Take a look at the small text (especially the e character), such as "Tell us what you'd like and we'll get an Exec on it within 10 minutes. Everyday from 9am to 9pm."

I've verified this on two installs of Chrome on Windows 7 (Version 24.0.1312.57 m and Version 26.0.1403.0 dev-m), so it might be worth looking into.

Looks like it's an issue with the particular version of Proxima Nova that's being @font-face embedded.

I don't notice those problems with the version of Proxima Nova served up from TypeKit.

I think you'd be right on that one, Exec's iOS interface font is Proxima Nova and I used a bit of a dodgy @font-face generator since I don't have a typekit membership
Keep in mind that embedding may not be allowed by your font license. An officially-licensed copy will come with the appropriate files (that are well hinted): http://www.fontspring.com/fonts/mark-simonson-studio/proxima...
