Biography

I’ve always believed complacency leads to mediocrity.  

Being an entrepreneur doesn’t allow one to ever become complacent and forces you to be the best version of yourself day in and day out. 

I grew up with parents who owned a local real estate office. So, from the beginning, I had engrained in me not only the value of entrepreneurship, but the value of building meaningful relationships, offering high-touch client service, and delivering on hard work to achieve the best results for you and your client. I learned that being good at something isn’t enough, but striving to be great in every endeavor is what separates you.  

Thus began my entrepreneurial journey. Growing up in the vacation-centric location of Cape Cod, Massachusetts, I discovered my passion for entrepreneurship at the age of 14 when I started my first business—a cleaning service focused on summer rental vacation homes. This passion continued into college, where I studied finance at Quinnipiac University. During my time there, I further explored entrepreneurship through app development and various ecommerce ventures. However, these pursuits took a backseat to developing my career in investment banking, yet my fire for entrepreneurship never dimmed. 

Over the years, I've had the privilege of working closely with countless technology companies and witnessed the success, failures, and challenges faced by various companies. With the extensive experience and knowledge acquired from my career in the middle market, I came to view Clearpact not merely as a business venture, but as an opportunity to help our clients achieve their goals

Clearpact is a platform to share our insights and experiences to help guide other companies on their journey of success.

Yours Truly, Justin

Outside the office, I enjoy traveling, skiing, golfing, playing poker or supporting Boston Sports teams.
