Jeff Hayes

Sustainability Director
Jeff is president and CEO of The Vector Group, an LA-based consultancy providing small to mid-market businesses with performance management tools and services. The firm was founded by Jack Hayes in the late '60s to drive top-line growth at mid-market logistics companies. Jeff joined the firm in 1998, and when he proposed shifting The Vector Group's business development focus onto social and environmental entrepreneurship in 2005, Jack responded with, 'over... my... dead... body...' But times change and people do too, and Jack has since become a big fan of The Vector Group's groundbreaking eco-business tools, FootPrinter™ and CONDUCTOR™. Prior to The Vector Group Jeff created visual effects for films and directed animation for gaming and ride experiences for everyone from Disney to garage startups, and his projects earned >250MM in combined revenue. In his free time, Jeff surfs under the full-moon at Leo Carrillo State Beach and is a fan of both Edward Tufte and John Singer Sargent. The Vector Group: for business performance excellence.
