Leadership Team

Jeff Jones is the CEO of Apto Solutions, a passionate advocate for the adoption of circular economic strategies within the US and for businesses’ ability to positively transform our world and environment for the better. Working with a dedicated team, his mission is not only to partner with the world’s biggest companies to safely eliminate e-waste but to carve a path that others can follow in pursuit of active change.

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.

Tim Farrow is the COO of Apto Solutions, a champion of the company’s mission to help businesses across countless industries address environmental, data and financial risks caused by the quickening pace of technological change. 

At Apto, Tim provides vital leadership; aligning departments, improving processes, driving profitable growth and delivering outstanding client service to some of the world’s biggest companies. His understanding of global trends has inspired his vision for the ITAD industry, embodying strong 50-year policy that balances environmental and economic prosperity. He is steadfast in his effort to always deliver results and solve problems, both internally and externally. Whether he’s implementing new ways to improve operations, helping to develop staff or otherwise moving the needle, Tim represents not only Apto’s ethos of hard work and commitment to quality but its nimble and entrepreneurial spirit.

Caroline Allman is the Chief Compliance & Sustainability Officer, the principal steward of Apto Solutions’ circular transformation program, leading implementation across various clients and facilities. Through her efforts, Apto has successfully helped countless companies radically alter their approach to e-waste, creating a wave of positive environmental impact that she hopes will be felt for generations to come.

Leveraging deep knowledge of the latest developments in the industry, Allman leads maintenance of Apto’s certifications across its three major facilities and, in particular, was integral to its e-Stewards certification - the ITAD industry’s highest standard. This included mobilizing both executives and ops leadership, ensuring their adherence to the strictest protocols, and inspiring them to embrace and adopt Apto’s mission. For Allman, her work is the culmination of a lifelong belief in wildlife conservation as well as a passion for local and global environmental issues  -- recycling, reducing GHGs, water conservation, and more.  

When not working with the Apto team, Allman can often be found gardening, enjoying collegiate sports, or attending Atlanta Braves games.

Chris Re is the SVP of Account Management of Apto Solutions, an empathetic client partner with an uncommon ability to identify growth opportunities in a rapidly changing industry – pairing the ITAD leader’s sustainable practices with companies that share similar business ethics and environmental goals.

With more than two decades of experience in electronic and technology sales, Chris applies his skills toward helping some of the biggest companies in entertainment, banking, tech and social media navigate the complex world of ITAD – maximizing the values of their enterprise portfolios, mitigating risk and meeting or exceeding compliance standards. His passion for sustainability has not only led to Apto’s aggressive growth, but the strengthening of its client relationships, helping promote its vision for circularity.
