Jeff Jones is a Managing Director at ACT Capital Advisors, where he leverages deep executive experience to guide lower middle market businesses through strategic exits and value-creation opportunities. With a strong foundation in business services and a proven ability to lead through complexity, Jeff plays a critical role in helping companies prepare for and navigate successful transactions.

Prior to joining ACT, Jeff served as CEO of multiple lower middle market companies, where he demonstrated a talent for quickly diagnosing challenges and implementing effective strategies. His career began with more than 20 years as a senior executive at Cintas Corporation (NASDAQ: CTAS), a Fortune 500 leader in business services. There, he gained extensive hands-on experience in industries operating through branch networks—including uniforms, facility services, restroom supplies, cold storage, construction services, fire safety, portable trailers, chemical toilets, and backup power solutions.

Jeff brings a well-rounded business perspective to every engagement, having worked across M&A, sales, marketing, operations, and executive leadership. He is especially skilled in building high-performing, engaged teams and in optimizing operational efficiency—both of which have consistently driven higher valuations for the companies he has led.

He earned his degree from Baldwin Wallace University, where he attended on a prestigious Chick Evans Caddy Scholarship. Though no longer a scratch golfer, Jeff remains passionate about the game and enjoys traveling, outdoor adventures, and sharing Peloton rides with his wife, Monica. They live in Seattle, Washington, and are proud parents of four adult children and grandparents to one granddaughter.
