Jeff Stark, CEO & Co-Founder

IT is about people. Your prospective customer. The team you are working with to deliver a meaningful solution. The employee who you are trying to make their job satisfying and effective. The consumer that will use what you create to better their lives because it fills a gap with a human impact (not just as a gadget or frivolous time waster - although there is a need for that too).

It took me time in my career to come to this perspective because in the beginning, I felt it was all about the technology and what was coming next…

I started my career in IT at the bottom, literally - working down manholes in the South Bronx splicing telephone cables. I soon moved out of splicing taking more traditional technical and management IT roles, ultimately rising to CIO before co-founding Fraimers. I’ve worked for and with some amazing companies. While on my career path I got a deep and a technical education. But ultimately my deepest and most meaningful lessons came from my interactions with the people I was surrounded by. 

Having worked for many companies including Verizon, IBM, UNOS (United Network of Organ Sharing), and Cranemasters, it has been quite a journey, and ultimately led me to create Fraimers. Filling many roles at these diverse companies, from an individual contributor through executive, I have been presented with many different perspectives. It truly is a gift to wear all of these hats over the years - working and engaging with people at all levels of organizations. I love learning new industries, so their variety throughout my career was no accident. One of the most intriguing things about Fraimers is the endless possibilities of learning about yours.

Here’s what I’ve found… Satisfaction comes from answering a true need or working with a group to solve a problem. Joy comes when you see you made somebody's life better (whether it be a colleague or customer). Where fulfilling a need and improving lives intersect, that is where I find true happiness.  

People are at the crux of all of this. At Fraimers, our passion lies with enabling people to be their best. To our potential customers, we want to make you the hero by helping you solve the problems you face. Empowering your employees, enabling them to grow, exceeding expectations, building and contributing to processes and tools with which to achieve. You and your employees will delight your customers as a natural outcome. We want to be a part of that story… your story.
