Jeff’s practice is informed by his early work managing the immigration challenges and complexities faced by the largest and most influential technology companies. His current focus is on serving hi-tech startups and rapidly growing companies based in Silicon Valley—companies that will become tomorrow’s technology giants.
Businesses experiencing rapid growth—particularly startups and hypergrowth companies—depend on expanding their workforce quickly, efficiently, and decisively. Jeff’s early experience helping Fortune 50 tech enterprises manage the movement of thousands of employees worldwide has proven an invaluable resource for these companies, which rely on him to build nimble, flexible immigration programs and policies that scale up in response to rapidly evolving business objectives, economic conditions and immigration regulations.
Central to this work is his ability to create viable pipelines into the workforce for employees graduating from world-class, U.S.-based educational institutions and the creative application of various visa types to realize this goal. Throughout, Jeff provides clear, effective instruction to clients in the throes of massive growth, helping them manage change and preemptively lay the foundations for future expansion.
