DS3 founder Jeff Weinberger found his passion in helping organizations identify and develop critical, yet often overlooked, strategic opportunities. Decades of innovative marketing, strategy and leadership experience across industries earned Jeff a reputation for being innovative and, well, disruptive. It's a much-maligned characteristic he has used to the immense benefit of such industry-leading companies as Cisco (WebEx), Intel, SAP, Sun Microsystems, Ernst & Young and BellSouth (now AT&T), as well as smaller companies of which you've likely never heard. He has spent his career helping organizations maximize the value of their key relationships to create, adapt to and capitalize on disruption in their markets, technologies and businesses.

Jeff has a track record of turning strategic opportunity into executable plans and of inspiring people and teams to turn those opportunities into reality to achieve measureable, scalable and sustainable results.

A recognized thought-leader, speaker, writer and blogger on sustainability, disruptive marketing and Web 2.0/Enterprise 2.0 technology issues, Jeff is involved with various nonprofit organizations, including E2, NRDC and MENG; he co-founded the University of Chicago GSB Tech/Venture Network. He holds a BA degree in computer science and economics from Columbia University and an MBA in marketing and strategy from the University of Chicago Graduate School of Business.
