ABOUT JEFF VANDER PLOEG
After 26 years in global supply chain and logistics leadership, I’ve started a new chapter as Co-Owner of Seniors Helping Seniors® Kalamazoo County.My career has always centered around building reliable systems, leading teams, and solving complex problems — whether that meant optimizing international distribution, implementing large-scale ERP transformations, or leading 100+ professionals through growth and change. Those same skills now help me run a people-centered business where dependability and trust matter most.Together with my wife Lisa, we are focused on connecting caring people with older adults in our community who want to remain independent at home. From companionship and rides to meal prep and light housework, we’re bringing a neighbors helping neighbors approach to Kalamazoo County.I’m excited to combine decades of leadership and operational experience with a mission that is deeply personal and community-driven.
