Jeff has been building companies and fueling his entrepreneurial spirit for over two decades. His expertise spans several industries, including consulting, information technology, and telecom — all of which led to the founding of DataServ in 1994 – the first Software as a Service (SaaS) provider. Jeff witnessed the enormous amount of time and money companies were investing in Enterprise Content Management (ECM) software for installation, customization, deployment and rollout. In response, he created DataServ to deliver the value of SaaS within the ECM market. Since its founding, Jeff has led the company through many growth phases and three recessions – all while successfully building and maintaining strong client relationships. He is frequently a speaker at AP and Shared Services industry events and, as an alumnus of the University of Missouri – St. Louis, he serves on the Leadership Council of the College of Business Administration. Jeff was also the former board president of the Foster & Adoptive Care Coalition, which focuses on eliminating the time kids spend in foster care by quickly finding homes.
