Jeff Schmidt

With over 15 years of experience as a chief executive officer and a board advisor, I am passionate about building innovative technology companies and bringing them to the top tier of highly competitive global markets. I have a proven track record of driving revenue growth, leading mergers and acquisitions, and navigating businesses through significant changes and rapid growth. I also have extensive expertise in cybersecurity, managed services, cloud solutions, and business continuity for various industries, especially financial services.

As the CEO of ECI, the dominant provider of managed services to the financial services industry, I am focused on leading the company into its next phase of growth by expanding its product offerings and strengthening its market position. ECI serves more than 1,000 customers worldwide, managing over $3 trillion in assets, with solutions for cloud readiness, workplace transformation, and cybersecurity. Prior to joining ECI, I co-founded and led Avertium, one of the largest cybersecurity providers in the mid to large enterprise market, serving over 1,200 clients across the United States. I also serve as a board advisor for ACC Consumer Finance, a revolutionary lending platform for the gig economy, and IoT Secure, a simple and affordable IoT security solution for organizations of all sizes. Additionally, I am an active investor in emerging technology ventures. I believe in a people-first approach to leadership, and I strive to inspire and empower my teams, clients, and partners to achieve excellence and innovation.
