Doing more with less. Jake Barber helps businesses reduce costs, increase profits, improve quality, claw back valuable time, and gain a competitive advantage.
Hey there! I'm Jake. I am a Director, Consultant, and Business Owner with a background in operations, management, finance, and real estate. I graduated with a degree in Finance from the University of Wisconsin-Madison (the best school).
I joined the management consulting group, Ignite Consulting, in 2016 where I have been directing our internal operations and providing change management services for our Fortune 500 clients ever since. I am responsible for website design and management, accounting, invoicing, team management, IT implementation and management, media, HR, and admin. I also work with our consultants to develop and execute project and change plans. My skills and experience help Ignite Consulting, Nomad Ventures (a real estate investment company I co-founded), and clients from all walks of life, in developing and implementing business solutions.
On the personal side, I am known for my continuous pursuit of new travels and shameless adoration of dogs (shoutout Coop and Pop). When not working on business, I enjoy being outdoors. Whether it's snowboarding, hiking, golf, reading in a hammock, or accidentally burning my marshmallow on a campfire; the importance of work/life balance is vital to me.
I would love to hear about your business, or if not started, business idea. Everyone has tasks or processes we wish we could improve (I am still working on many of mine). I would be happy to share my perspective or navigate this new adventure by your side.
