Jon is currently the CEO of YouNow, a top-50 social media app by revenue.

He was also a director at 1-800-flowers, where he completed 17 M&A transactions and grew the international business from $1 million to $40 million in revenue, and he was the general manager for Allmenus, which he led from having 1,000 restaurants to over a quarter of a million. He has also written and published two books, and still finds time to go snowboarding during the winter.
