Background

About Jared McHenry

I was the class leader in fundraising events often because Mom and Dad were going to make sure I knocked on every door in the neighborhood before they gave their contribution. I learned how to get over being uncomfortable, I learned rejection even in the face of an innocent-looking schoolboy, and I learned success and people doing you a solid because they liked you or you had a relationship. I helped build a family business at fourteen and worked there for nearly a decade, opening another location along the way, and becoming the most functional and versatile employee in the company.I moved across the country after college, chasing adventure and new experiences. I became a self-studied Certified Personal Trainer after recovering from my own back surgery. I used my business knowledge to become the General Manager of a (not-so) popular gym that was reopening and grew membership sales from the bottom 10% of the organization to the top 50% in just 3 months, more than quadrupling membership.After returning to Buffalo, I found ACV in their early series B startup phase and became an early inside sales team member, not knowing the eventual behemoth I'd be joining. I was promoted after only a couple of months as the sales roles diverged and soon helped acquire one of the nation's largest used car companies as a business partner, this helped lay the foundation for the Major Accounts team. Not quite two years later I was offered a promotion to move to the Mid-Atlantic for a newly founded Regional Field Operations Manager role, a team of high-performing individuals capable of problem-solving any scenario in their region. I helped train, coach, hire, and discipline teammates within the region as well as analyze data and reporting to identify opportunities and areas of improvement. I helped create and close sales opportunities and led the charge on customer concerns and elevated issues. As the region grew and roles developed, I took a fourth role with ACV as a Territory Manager helping lead our largest market in the region; a team of 10 inspectors with no turnover in the market's history. We grew sales by over 150% in the first 12 months and made significant strides in partnership with one of the largest dealership groups in Virginia as well as with the VIADA and VADA.As my next adventure begins in the Denver area, I am excited to use my history of building businesses, working with people, finding solutions, and having fun with it all along the way, to help SkySquad change the airport experience for the everyday traveler!
