About Jon

Jon Feld is the COO of the Feld Group Institute and a seasoned startup CEO in the IT, Analytics, Marketing and Business Consulting industries.

With a record that includes having founded and led three successful startups during the past 25 years, Jon brings a perspective that combines entrepreneurial experience with expertise in analytics, CRM, digital marketing, business intelligence, and performance management. He is an accomplished strategist, recognized for his ability to assess business dynamics, create a vision for change, identify growth opportunities, and build and lead teams to achieve exceptional results.

In 2011, Jon founded nGame, which delivers data-driven marketing, CRM, customer loyalty, and customer service strategies and insights to some of the world’s leading brands. The innovative data-gathering and analytics platform is able to connect CRM and social identities to enrich the 360-degree view of the customer with social affinities—down to the individual customer level. The resulting insights can be used in any channel to drive a better personalized and relevant customer experience, and revenue growth. In 2015, FullContact acquired nGame as a strategic accelerator to providing services and solutions to enterprise B2C brands. In 2017, after successfully integrating the two companies, Jon left FullContact to focus full-time on his work as an Affiliate of The Feld Group Institute.

In 2010, Jon funded and co-founded Tech Wildcatters, a mentorship-driven, seed-stage accelerator that offers guidance and investment funds to technology startups. Tech Wildcatters was named among the Forbes list of the “Top Ten Hottest Startup Incubators.”

Earlier in his career, in 1991, Jon founded Navigator Systems, Inc., a business intelligence and enterprise collaboration consulting company serving some 200 corporate clients, including many Fortune 500 companies. Gartner Group called Navigator Systems “visionary” in the business intelligence space. After Hitachi Consulting acquired Navigator in 2006, Jon led the integration efforts both for business services and talent. The Navigator-Hitachi combination yielded high levels of retention and deep team integration, as well as tremendous growth, including more than doubling the revenues of the former Navigator business in just two years.

Jon earned a BS in Marketing from the University of Virginia.

Russell Villemez

Affiliate, The Feld Group Institute

Head of Technology Strategy, Dialexa – a Feld Group Institute partner

Highly regarded CTO and change agent with IT strategy and enterprise architecture expertise.

Russell Villemez is an Affiliate with the Feld Group Institute and the head of Technology Strategy at Dialexa, a Technology Research, Design and Creation firm that works with organizations on initiatives such as Operational Transformation, Business Growth, and New Venture Creation.

During 17 years in operational roles and 15 years in consulting roles, Russell has worked across a variety of industries in both executive leadership positions and as a subject matter expert. Russell thrives on the scale and complexity of leading major change agendas in large corporate environments.

Recent consulting clients include AmerisourceBergen, the American Automobile Association, Brinker International, Cubic, Equifax, and Cox Automotive. A common thread is the client’s need for strong leadership during a period of change—whether motivated by acquisitions, spin-offs, competitive pressures, or other factors. Clients also benefit from Russell’s expertise in enterprise architecture, agile development, application portfolio rationalization, technology and architecture strategy, as well as business strategy and commercial software product development.

Recognized as a versatile IT executive, adept at solving complex problems with innovative solutions, Russell’s capabilities and achievements span a continuum from business-strategy formation to hands-on IT solution development. His extensive career achievements include pioneering the first use of relational databases in high-volume transaction systems in the ‘80s, applying voice recognition DSPs in public intelligent network services for consumer markets in the ‘90s, and leading large-scale adoptions of open systems, object technology, and middleware frameworks in complex business environments, often in advance of commercially available software products.

Prior to joining Dialexa, Russell served at HP as Enterprise Services Chief Technology Officer for the Americas, leading a global capability for embedded Account CTOs in large enterprises. Russell began his career at Accenture, where he first crafted his consultative problem-solving approach, later honed at A.T. Kearny and the Feld Group. Russell’s deep telecom experience is built upon numerous director and enterprise architect positions at AT&T, Bell Atlantic, Telstra, US West, Pacific Bell, and Sprint, and as V.P. and CIO for WebLink Wireless.

Russell has a BS in Business Administration from Louisiana State University and an MBA from Vanderbilt University. In his spare time, Russell participates in amateur auto racing, and is a driving instructor with the Porsche Club of America.
