About Jeffery Zimmerman

I am a seasoned executive leader with over 25 years of experience in driving multi-unit organizations. I have a strong track record of rallying teams to a shared vision and helping them to achieve their goals. I am a strong believer in building a \"Customer Focused/Field Led Organization\" that gives real ownership of direction and results to the leaders in the field. I am a fun, charismatic leader that can hold others accountable while being patient, kind and empathetic.I have had the pleasure to work for many founder-lead organizations in their peak of growth, which has built my skills in rapid expansion, real estate, and scaling operational costs and processes. Although I have a traditional background, I am able to look at the business with an innovative and creative twist, trying new and unexpected approaches to old ways of doing things. I thrive in a highly collaborative environment where teams work together for solutions that impact the entire organization. I have a strong ability to influence others and compromise when needed to yield the most effective solutions.My true passion lies in talent development and building a strong field culture which enable leaders to be educated and empowered to grow their own business. I owe much of my success to building a strong succession plan and inspiring people to exceed expectations and live up to their potential. My successes in my career are never my own, but those of my team and the people around me.
