"It's not about standing still and becoming safe. If anybody wants to keep creating they have to be about change".
- Miles Davis
Jared brings more than two decades of executive leadership to every business he touches. A hospitality industry veteran, he spent nearly a decade as CEO of one of Oklahoma’s premier private clubs, where he doubled annual revenue from $4.7 million to $9.5 million and led a $6.5 million capital renovation — all while earning recognition as a Journal Record Most Admired CEO and Financial Stewardship Award recipient. He also received the Tulsa Regional Chamber Excellence in Leadership Award in 2024.
His expertise extends well beyond hospitality. With a finance degree, a sommelier certification, and hands-on experience navigating complex debt restructuring, operational turnarounds, and large-scale capital projects, Jared understands the financial realities that keep business owners up at night. He has built budgets, negotiated with lenders, managed multimillion-dollar P&Ls, and made the hard calls that protect both the bottom line and the people behind it.
As a Pinnacle Business Guide, Jared combines that operator’s instinct with a proven strategic framework designed to help business owners gain clarity, build alignment across their leadership teams, and achieve sustainable growth. He doesn’t coach from the sidelines — he’s lived the pressures of the CEO seat and brings that firsthand perspective to every engagement.
Jared is a Pinnacle Business Guide and the founder of Alignd., as well as an active leader in his professional community, having served as President of the CMAA Oklahoma/Kansas Chapter and on nonprofit boards including Philbrook Museum, YMCA, Family & Children’s Services, and the Tulsa Chamber Small Business Connection.
