Jon
began his commercial real estate journey in 2001 with the construction of a
Hampton Inn in Old Town, Alexandria, and started in business with establishing
Acquivest, an M&A Advisory firm, in 2004. Jon has since built a
reputation as a top deal maker within Florida as well as around the DC
Metropolitan area. To date, Jon and his team have led and transacted over
$1 billion in total deal volume.
Today,
in addition to roles overseeing Acquivest and Molayem Capital, Jon maintains
multiple board positions, supporting talented executive teams, and is a
Managing Director for venVelo, a leading early stage venture fund based in
Winter Park, FL. He is also a big supporter of Larger than Life.
Jon received a BS in Chemistry from the University of Maryland and an MBA from
the Crummer School of Business at Rollins College.
Jon
is extremely thankful for his team, as well all his friends in the business
community that have supported him along the way, especially the bankers,
financial advisors, consultants and business owners he has worked closely with
over the years. He would like to single out his father (Ben), wife (Oshrat),
Bert Risdon, Tony Vincent, and Fairwinds Credit Union, for betting on him when
many, many others did not.
