He is currently working on his debut novel and building his author platform.

In his professional life, Jeff has spent more than two decades in IT management with a passion for cultivating creative breakthroughs that make work better for regular humans. He has spoken at conferences and led workshops. He is currently a leading advocate and enabler for User Centricity and Advanced Analytics at Mars Petcare.
