After starting out with Packaging Design at Hasbro toy company, Jared began his career in a sales role in the corrugated industry. Frustrated that every solution involved delivering “more corrugated” he made the switch to Unisource which became Veritiv after a merger with XpedX. Over the next 13 years it was here for, working with brand owners based in the States that manufactured globally, that a market need was identified for a material and supplier agnostic to packaging optimization solution.

After Veritiv, he spent nearly 4 years at a large packaging consulting firm, building a new practice focused on value optimization, before starting his own consulting firm, ROI Packaging. In January 2022, ROI Packaging and Provident Spend Management executed a merger to form Seismic O+E
