Prior to Clean Pacific, Jeff spearheaded business development and marketing for Purfresh, a venture-backed clean technology water and food purification company with a long list of Fortune 500 customers (sold shares for a gain on secondary basis). He also was the first marketing and business executive of Vocal Point (acquired by Telecom Italia). Previously, Jeff spent 5 years at Bain & Company in the Private Equity and Technology practices consulting to private equity funds and to major technology companies.Jeff has invested in other start-ups and sold his shares such as Blingo (acquired by Publishers Clearing House) and Advanced Educational Corporation (sold shares for a gain on a secondary basis).
