Partner and Chief Information Officer

Jeff is a founding partner of ATG and is the company’s Chief Information Officer. As CIO, he is responsible for ATG’s Information Technology infrastructure and proprietary software development. Jeff is a uniquely talented individual and a rare commodity in the accounts payable recovery industry in that he is equally skilled and knowledgeable in contemporary IT architecture, purchase-to-payment systems and audit methodologies. Since entering the industry, Jeff has focused his efforts on directing audit support, electronic tool development and enhancing audit productivity.

He has extensive accounts payable audit experience. In 1987, Jeff joined the recovery audit firm of Robert Beck & Associates, Inc. (now PRG-Schultz, International, Inc.) and was an industry pioneer migrating manual paper based audit reviews to sophisticated software-based reviews. These efforts helped position RBA as the industry leader in both audit services and technology. Jeff’s development of electronic applications dramatically transformed the audit process allowing audit professionals, without IT programming experience, to run highly sophisticated queries and complex audit routines.

Previously, he was Sr. Vice President of Information Technology of Profit Recovery Group International, Inc. (Now PRG-Schultz, International, Inc.) as the result of PRG acquiring RBA where he continued responsibility for software development and IT support for selected clients and oversaw IT development and production for their national healthcare audit group. He joined Howard Schultz & Associates, Inc. as Vice President of Information Technology and was responsible of their software development and IT infrastructure, and served as a member of their executive management committee.

Jeff has a BS degree in mathematics from the University of Pittsburgh. He and his wife, Carol, reside in Chicago.
