About Danny Jacobs
Range in service of ownership.
The résumé is evidence. The offering is judgment.
The Common Thread
Learn a complicated business deeply. Converse meaningfully with the people who know it best. Connect the functions. Take ownership of the outcome.
My career has moved through over-the-road transportation and logistics, Amazon, venture-backed operating companies, entrepreneurship, and private-club development.
The industries changed. The work did not.
I have led sales and operations, worked inside dispatch and brokerage, gone deep on RFPs and shipping rates, spent humbling time on the road, helped lead at Amazon, worked around large-scale logistics operations, operated in high-growth environments at Wonder and Zume, built Listivo, and worked across nearly every part of the Coffeetree development.
That range allows me to move from a board-level capital question to a vendor proposal, hiring plan, membership decision, operating workflow, or communication without losing sight of the owner’s larger objective.

Why This Work
I have never had more fun working.
