“I have known Jeff for over 9 years and worked closely with him for over 4 years at AARP. I always found his creative and strategic thinking very impressive. We worked together in developing the corporate innovation program and thought leadership agenda to improve health and financial wellbeing of aging older adults. I got to see him in action translate broad strategic and business goals into action and create new programs, manage partnerships, collaborations and relationships across Healthcare and AgeTech ecosystem, including start-ups, investors, accelerators, research organization and non-profits. He is what I call a free-form thinker and true-collaborator - comfortable operating in ambiguity, not afraid to question the status-quo, curious and inquisitive - all signs of an innovative leader!”
