Jeff's Bio
I’m a serial entrepreneur, former Wallstreet warrior, angel investor, and venture capitalist building a portfolio of diversified exponential technology companies through Fuel Venture Capital Partners, which I founded in 2017 following my departure from the world of private wealth management. I pride myself on taking an approach to venture capital investment that can be best described as “founder-focused, investor-driven,” given my experience for two decades, and eventually as a top executive of Bank of America Merrill Lynch. I believe in mentoring our founders to equip them with the tools necessary to survive and thrive in the competitive creative economy, and serving Fuel’s global LPs as a fiduciary.
As Managing Director and Market Executive of the financial powerhouse, Merrill Lynch, I was responsible for more than $130 billion of global private client investment assets, a P&L of $1.5 billion, and over 2,000 employees across the bank’s Southeast Wealth Management Division which included the state of Florida, the state of Alabama, the Southeast of the state of Georgia, all of Latin American and the Caribbean. My transition to venture capital was motivated by what I saw as mounting evidence that opportunities to shape the economy and capitalize on innovation were steadily shifting from the public markets to the private markets.

Markable Points of my Conference
While trade shows offer the opportunity for businesses to showcase their products to customers, trade conferences are more geared towards the exchange of information and education of attendees. In these types of events, individuals come together who have a shared interest, or investment, in a certain area and take part in discussions and talks with other professionals.
trade conferences will generally revolve around a core theme, with talks and workshops reflecting these themes throughout the course of the event.
