Prior to founding Potentia, Jeff was President of a global workforce services firm – delivering record profits while closing four acquisitions in less than eighteen months. Earlier in his career, he was Division President for a healthcare consultancy, taking the firm from start-up to a successful sale in three years. Jeff began his career for a Boston-based staffing and consulting firm where he opened and built their West Coast operations from Silicon Valley.
After his son was diagnosed on the autism spectrum, Jeff began a deep exploration into neurodiversity which ultimately led to the formation of Potentia – combining multiple passions to bring innovation to business internationally and opportunity to the remarkable and often underemployed, neurodiverse community.
Jeff is a sought-after thought leader and has appeared numerous times on television, at conferences, and online – sharing his experiences on leadership, neurodiversity, and finding your purpose.
