He entered the private sector at MySpace where he ultimately led the content, marketing, and sales teams. Jeff has run digital media at the NFL, been part of the first and only team ever to simultaneously chart 7 of the top 10 App Store apps, and co-founded Magnet Companies where he helped launch TOGETHXR, the women's sports & culture brand, and led the Series A investment in Dear Media.
