After earning a BS in Finance and Economics from the University of Nevada, Reno in 2004, Jonah spent the next decade developing a strong sales acumen, with extensive experience in financial management and business-to-business (B2B) relationship building. After becoming a single parent, Jonah balanced PTA meetings and coaching soccer while working as an outside B2B sales rep and a capital asset buyer for a life sciences contract research organization. During this time, he also went back to school at Marylhurst University, where he earned his MBA with a focus on business sustainability and renewable energy in 2014.This experience integrated well with the goals of REUZEit, a circular economic surplus asset management (CE-SAM) company that focuses on the biotech and life sciences industries. Using its custom-built software, the company enables its clients to schedule projects and pickups while also providing inventory management, order fulfillment and tracking of important KPIs, such as capital recovery, cost avoidance, landfill mitigation and GHG emissions savings. REUZEit also purchases, consigns, and sells used medical, lab, industrial, IT, and analytical equipment. This helps companies recapture some final equity out of fully depreciated or outdated capital assets while not wasting storage space on equipment no longer being utilized and avoids sending that equipment to landfills by extending its effective lifecycle.Jonah started full-time at REUZEit in 2015 by developing its sales and marketing departments and initiatives before being tapped to run overall operations as President. At the end of 2020, Jonah went back to his MBA roots and passion by taking on his new role as Chief Sustainability Officer. An achievement he’s proud of in this new role is co-authoring and publishing a white paper on circular economic surplus asset management in two industry journals. Jonah's goal- through outreach, education, and lobbying- is to help every business he works with strive to incorporate environmental and social considerations into their business and financial decisions. This focus grooms mutually beneficial business relationships that don't leave out those affected by, yet unable to influence, the outcomes of doing business. If you look hard enough it's not a zero-sum game, with a giver and a taker. Let's make everyone a winner!
