Jeff actually started out as an actor and tennis player before jumping to marketing for NASA, Yum! Brands, Whole Foods and CKE brands (Hardees and Carl’s Jr.). For three years now he has been with Carter's.

In this episode Jeff talks about his unorthodox career in acting and tennis and how it led to him going into marketing. Jeff also explains why he was surprised by how the CMO role is actually 90% "chief" and 10% "marketing".
