Early in his career, Mr. Jaros held product and consulting roles at Peppers & Rogers Group and Simba Information. He holds an MBA from New York University and a BSJ in Journalism from Northwestern University.
“We are so pleased to have Tony join CultureIQ as CEO. In one of the most competitive searches I have seen, Tony stood out as an impressive people-focused leader, a natural collaborator and a product-driven executive with strong opinions,” said Devin Mathews, Partner at ParkerGale Capital. “Tony brings a proven track record of success growing companies rapidly with new approaches to solving old challenges.”
Mr. Jaros is motivated by a few key things: building and developing strong teams, delivering world-class solutions to customers, and focused execution.
