Jay is a technology entrepreneur with expertise creating chatbots and marketing automation solutions to help businesses generate leads, grow revenue, and save precious time. He has experience in a number of industries including; computer hardware, semiconductors, software, digital marketing, and industrial imaging. Prior to launching his own businesses he served as CEO for the U.S. division of a Dutch industrial equipment manufacturer and grew that business from low 6-figures to mid 7-figures within five years. Jay received his Bachelor’s degree from MCLA, his MBA from Bentley University and his post-MBA certificate from the FW Olin School of Business at Babson College Graduate School.
When he is not working with customers, creating marketing campaigns or designing the intelligence behind Thinking Chat, Jay spends time raising a family. But, one of his personal passions is adventure travel (click to view). As his businesses have grown and expanded he’s been able to visit some remote locations others have only dreamed about. Not only that, he’s had some weird and sometimes hair raising adventures and encounters with wildlife.
Jay is the real deal when it comes to being an experienced entrepreneur and tech marketer. I don't think there is a course or book out on there on any aspect of marketing that Jay has not taken or read. He is truly a master of his craft with no ego. His drive, personality and his ability to see 30 moves ahead are definitely key factors to his continued success.

I worked with Jay for more than five years and learned to know him as a strategic minded business developer who managed to grow his business by a factor of 20. Jay has an opportunity focused attitude with good marketing insights and a sense of humor that makes it fun to working with him.

Simply put, Jay thinks on a different wavelength than the rest of us. He is a fantastically creative marketer, especially as it pertains to marketing challenges his clients face. He is a consummate professional with an empathy for clients and understanding of marketing technology that I have really yet to see elsewhere.

In the last few years of working with Jay, he has never "forgotten" a call or meeting and never showed up unprepared. He honors his commitments and shows up engaged. I really enjoy working with Jay because he is where he says he will be, and delivers on his commitments.

Every once in a while you encounter an entrepreneur that is able to create a solution to a problem the rest of us just grudgingly accept. Jay’s done this at Thinking Chat® with his Quick Capture Agent. He identified a pressing problem most websites face (low lead count), and created a unique technical solution. This makes him someone you need to pay close attention to. I sure have!
