About Jeff Severs

Mr. Severs has a long track record of engaging to help small businesses start up and expand. He began his professional career as an acquisition/ technology officer in the United States Air Force, where he led a wide range of activities spanning work as a software engineer supporting radar processing applications to development and fielding of the Global Positioning System. Mr. Severs’ also served as a staffer in the U.S. Senate and on the staff of the Secretary of the Air Force in a congressional liaison role.

After leaving the Air Force, Mr. Severs was President and Chief Executive Officer of SprayCool, a venture-backed, high-growth technology & manufacturing company with operations in Washington state, California, Kansas, and Washington DC.

The company was recognized for its significant revenue growth (greater than 600% 2002 – 2005), including being selected as an “Inc 500″ company in 2005. After departing SprayCool, Mr. Severs managed a 30-person not-for-profit economic development operation focused on expansion of existing businesses and recruiting of new businesses to the Inland Northwest.

KCYP: In the Community & Connecting Professionals!

luke1020 — Thu, 17 Nov 2011 06:22:30 +0000

As we near the end of 2011, most of us reflect on what the year covered. The Kootenai County Young Professionals (KCYP) have been doing the same! Our group has over 90 members in 2011. Those members socialized, networked, volunteered, received training, learned about area businesses, the economy, success and even made a friend or two along the way. KCYP members even expanded their network by connecting with the Spokane Society of Young Professionals (SSYP).

KCYP is looking at an even better end to 2011, with a great outlook for 2012. Become a member today to tap in to more than networking. Join a committee, get involved, and take action as a KCYP member by making a mark on in our community.
