About Our Speaker:
A 2008 grad from Bethel University, Jake currently serves as the CEO of Infinity Direct, a direct response marketing agency, which is a part of the holding company Impact of MN. As a business leader, he loves addressing complex problems, developing value creation opportunities, and investing in the people with whom he works. As an alumnus, he helped get BethelBiz off the ground. His biggest responsibilities come in being a husband to Katie ‘07 and their five kids. He loves coaching and helping young people see the potential and value they have.
Note: Mentoring a current Bethel student is another great way for alumni to get connected, and we are always looking for more mentors to join our ranks. Learn more about the BethelBiz Mentorship Program by visiting our website.
