He was one of the three original members of Dallas-based, International Speakers Bureau, where he spent 15 years of building the company to over 50 employees with revenues in excess of $17 million when he left in 2009. He was involved in every aspect of the business including:

He brokered speakers and entertainers for corporate conventions/special event all over the world.

In 2009, Jay took his agency experience to work exclusively for best-selling author and Hall of Fame Speaker, Jeffrey Gitomer.Now Jay has perspective from two different speaker worlds; The bureau world and the world-class speaker world. Now we will take what he's learned and merge the those two worlds with the new Ode Management office in the US. Jay is looking to take his knowledge and look at the speaker management business in a whole new light. He's looking forward to working with the current O2 speakers as well as adding to the roster in the US to make ODE a true global force.
