  • WHERE: Showroom Floor
  • TOPIC: How a large bank moved from destroy-everything to verified reuse, recovering $8MM and cutting emissions along the way.

JEFF JONES

Chief Executive Officer

Over a span of 20 years, Jeff has grown Apto into one of the most innovative and celebrated leaders in ITAD – certified by e-Stewards, NAID AAA, and others while also working with some of the biggest names in tech, finance, and OEMs. His vision of a world without waste has resulted in a unique model that reduces middlemen in the process of asset disposition, and a signature platform for tracking and eventually turning e-waste into opportunities for reuse and recycling.
When not developing e-waste solutions, Jeff is an avid trail runner and cyclist, as well as a serial entrepreneur with a focus on new innovations in data security.
