Analysis
He has been in the tech industry for the past 15 years as an entrepreneur, startup advisor, and interim investor. Jeremy has helped dozens of B2B formulas drive the adoption of digital commerce and remains an active board member of many financial companies. He began his career in technology as an engineer at nanotechnology startup Digital Instruments , which was acquired by semiconductor company Veeco . He learned how to lead in a heavily M&A-based global public corporation and what matters most in the world, by selling it all to sail around the world on a 40ft boat and spend months exploring the far reaches of the globe. At Veeco, he led the construction company that helped the company shrink mainframe computers down to portable devices that fit right into our pockets. He also led the global ERP implementation 15 years ago, where he first saw the challenge of enterprise payments. Since then, I have been thinking about how to use technology to innovate B2B financial services. When talked about himself, he said “Take a great idea on a napkin. Build an amazing team. Talk to your customers. Create an innovative product. Stay agile. Pivot as the market shifts. Quietly grow the business. Wow your customers. Create value for your stakeholders. Transform an industry. Make the world a better place. Surprise everyone. Wash. Rinse. Repeat.”
