Episode 49: Making the Most of Provider Time with Jeff Peres from Everseat.

Jeff brings over 15 years of entrepreneurial experience to his role as CEO at Everseat. He oversees strategic partnerships, product design, sales, marketing and recruiting. He is also significantly involved in fundraising and investor relations. Frustrated by the inefficient, labor-intensive process of calling to book appointments, Jeff co-founded Everseat in October, 2013 as a way to solve the scheduling problems faced by service providers today.

Prior to launching Everseat, Jeff spent nine years as President and CEO of Eyemaginations, a software company focused on delivering healthcare information to patients through a cloud-based platform. Jeff was responsible for setting the strategic vision and growing the company from a small start up to a leader in the patient education field with clients in all 50 states and 75 countries. Jeff led the initiative to expand the education platform into other medical verticals and oversaw the launch of its first cloud-based software platform. Earlier in his career, Jeff was an investment banker at UBS, Credit Suisse and Signal Hill.

Jeff holds an MBA from the Wharton School at University of Pennsylvania and a BA from Cornell University. He lives in Baltimore with his wife and two young sons.
