The Impact Network

“Networks are all around us, hidden in plain sight.  The universe is basically a constellation of networks.  There are biological networks, neurological networks, technological networks, and there are social networks.

And then there are Impact Networks: deliberate human networks for positive social and environmental change.”

David Sawyer

Impact Networks create connection, spark collaboration, and catalyze systemic change.  

The below is what is known as a Learning Network.  I have and continue to learn alongside these accomplished humans as we sense make our ever-changing cities, states, nation, and world.

In scanning my Learning Network, you will get a feel for my relationships, my diverse influences, and my interest in creating Best Outcomes in the public and private sectors moving forward.  Give it a scan.  Let’s Talk.

Testimonials

“Across our years together, one of your strongest attributes is the ability to think out of the box, see opportunity where others do not, and then to create your own good fortune in life.”

Peter Metcalf

Jeff Roche understands how things work. He has a solid analytical mind, a sensitivity to the details that count, and a creative knack for identifying the right issues. He is clear about what he thinks and humble enough to know when he needs to revise his take of what's happening. All of which makes Jeff an invaluable thought partner.

Matthew Spence

Partner at Converge

If you want someone who can think like an investor, act like an operator, and support you like a teammate, Jeff is it. He was instrumental in my Utah journey—first as a trusted sounding board through an exit, and then as a sparring partner as my new company closed Seed funding and scaled quickly.

Andrew Redpath

Co-Founder of Kiln, Founder Apex Living

"Roche is first and foremost a listener and observer. He’ll solve complex intellectual problems with his bare callused climbing hands. A blue collar philosopher with a wide range of real world experiences that translates to actionable advice.”

NIclas Bornling

Brand Architect / LinkedIn

Jeff and I have worked together in many organizational and commercial environments, and the one constant is Jeff's commitment and attention to detail. Jeff never mails it in...in fact, he never let me mail it in! When an issue needed to be addressed, he let me know and spurred me to do my best work with a soft touch. Jeff is a true gentleman who doesn't accept "good enough".

Andrew Ragland

Executive Finance Director / LinkedIn

Jeff Roche is a true commercial operator, disciplined in how he builds pipelines, thoughtful in how he positions value, and relentless about closing with integrity. I worked with Jeff as a peer and later as his leader during our years together at Vestas, where I saw firsthand his ability to collaborate across functions, align stakeholders, and deliver results in complex deals. Beyond the transactions themselves, Jeff invests in relationships and “plays team ball,” elevating the performance of the people around him. Nearly twenty years later, I still turn to Jeff as a trusted thought partner and counterpart in personal and professional business ventures.

In the Roche Approach, Jeff blends hard won insights gained from practical experience in diverse settings with a mystical understanding of what motivates the people with whom he is working. There are no formulas, no shortcuts, just a sincere desire to find the best way forward for all involved and the vision and know how to bring that vision into reality.

Dr. Darius Loghmanee

Co-Founder Abundant

Jeff works to high-level insights from the ground up: the details, the mechanics, the numbers, and how they fit together. You may get introduced to his thinking at the top, but fun comes when Jeff plays the calm tour guide, layering into what he can point to, analyze, and name. That's how he creates constructive ways to make sense of, and navigate, tough terrain.

Dag Hinrichs

Founder of Volo Ventures / LinkedIn

Jeff has been a blessing in my professional and personal life and has inspired me with his relentless quest for understanding and problem solving.  He always challenges his thinking and his peers' thinking and sources information from wherever the wisdom is held.  He is both a lifelong apprentice and also a lifelong master. His gift is in finding the right challenge to any idea, not challenging someone's soul or worth.   His confidence comes from his humility, his openness and his curiosity.  He is a trusted sounding board and was invaluable to me in working through the details of the sale of Good Company.  Jeff will mature your thinking and help you find the HOW to make your business move forward.
