Jeff Haller - Managing Partner

A native of St. Louis, Jeff has spent nearly 20 years in sales, marketing and company-building. His expertise spans consulting, information technology, and the telecom industry - all of which led to the founding of DataServ in 1994. Although the term had not been developed yet, DataServ was the first Software as a Service (SaaS) provider of document and process automation. Jeff has successfully led the company through many growth phases and at least two recessions. He is also Board President of the Foster and Adoptive Care Coalition, which is focused on eliminating the time kids spend in foster care by quickly finding them homes.
