Jeremy graduated from UIUC in 2014 with a degree in Industrial Engineering. He is passionate about using his engineering skills to create positive, impactful change for the US public by helping governments improve their use of technology. 

Currently, Jeremy is the Vice President of Operations at P3Mobility, a software startup in the Connected-Autonomous Vehicle space focused on improving transportation safety, mobility, and sustainability. In this role he drives the development of innovative products, projects, and business models. With over 10 years of experience in technology product management and implementation, Jeremy has led P3Mobility’s involvement in multiple high-profile government projects, serving as project developer and program manager to coordinate efforts between government and private sector teams.

Prior to this and immediately after graduating from UIUC, Jeremy spent over six years as a technology consultant at Deloitte. In this role, he managed teams throughout the entire technology product lifecycle, including design, development, testing, and launch to deliver large government technology products. Jeremy also has an MBA from the University of Michigan and spent time as a product manager at Amazon. 

In his time at UIUC and ISE, Jeremy served in several leadership roles on IISE (formerly IIE) and served as president of the Alpha Pi Mu Industrial Engineering Honor Society. He also worked with Engineering Council, EOH and Illinois Business Consultants. His favorite UIUC memory is helping the IISE team win first place in E-Week in 2014! He currently lives in Denver with his wife (also a UIUC grad), two kids and dog.
