"Jeff’s entrepreneurial flair and passion has served him well and allowed him to thrive regardless of the economic cycle. "
- Abe Ng (CEO, Sushi Maki)
Author | Entrepreneur | Speaker | Payment Expert
My business path has gone from corporate America to becoming an entrepreneur and independent business owner in the payment processing industry.
Following college, I worked as an Investment Banker at Lehman Brothers in the Corporate Finance/Mergers & Acquisitions Group and specialized in transactions ranging from $500 million – $1 billion.
Although working 80-100 hours, I didn’t feel vested in the deals and this wasn’t what I wanted in my professional life. I deferred business school and decided to leave my fast-paced, well-paying position to start up a 1-person business; friends would say “what are you thinking?” From my tiny New York apartment while still working on Wall Street, I created “Spectoculars”, a paper folding binocular; in 1991, I received a NFL license and sold 250,000 pairs that were distributed at Super Bowl XXX. Welcome to entrepreneurship!
