Jeff Messner

From an early age, Jeff's innovative and tenacious personality set the stage for his professional landscape. His entrepreneurial spirit first appeared in elementary school selling bubble gum out of a brief case and continued on through high school detailing cars. As a first generation college student and graduate, Jeff paid his own way through the University of Central Florida through a straight commission sales job. After excelling with two fortune 500 companies, Jeff took a leap of faith and started a company from a small desk in his home. 

​

Over the next twelve years, his small company grew from a one room shop to a Southeast regional presence in the church communication industry, employing multiple employees and establishing two offices. Messner Publications was known for it's innovative way to become a single source for church communications, pushing competitors out of the marketplace. In 2012, Jeff's company was acquired by a large competitor, wherein he served on the executive leadership team, eventually working his way up to Chief Revenue Officer. 

​

Over the last few years, Jeff worked with a few companies, in various industries and sizes, helping successfully restructure their sales infrastructure and processes. 

 

The pandemic truly shaped many people's lives. For Jeff, the time at home allowed him to truly reflect on what drives and motivates him most... helping companies identify their overall health and fix their areas of weakness for maximum potential. And Ascent Consulting Partners was born.

 

The overall professional landscape of Jeff's life has brought him to this moment. From selling bubble gum to restructuring multi-million dollar sales teams, his ability to envision and capitalize on "what's next" has always been Jeff's best quality.
