Jeffrey Atizado, the CEO and Co-Founder of SMB Consultants, has always been captivated by technology. His journey began in the bustling streets of Akihabara, Tokyo's famed "Electronic Town." As a child, Jeff was mesmerized by the latest gadgets and innovations, sparking a lifelong fascination with technology. "I remember buying my first Sony Cassette Walkman with wireless earphones," Jeff recalls. This early exposure to cutting-edge technology set the stage for his future endeavors.
As Jeff grew, so did his passion for technology. From car audio installations to home automation, he honed his skills in sales, project management, and system design. These experiences laid the groundwork for what would become SMB Consultants.
Jeff's professional journey took a significant turn when he moved to Australia and began working for an Apple premium reseller. It was here that he met his future business partner, Peter. They both shared a deep appreciation for technology and a vision for its potential in transforming businesses. "I was always driven by the evolution of technology and how it could apply to retail," Jeff explains.
The pivotal moment came in 2008 when a broken point-of-sale system in Jeff's retail store led him and Peter (co-founder of SMB Consultants) to discover Lightspeed, a Mac-based solution that modernized traditional cash registers. This spark of innovation set the stage for SMB Consultants. Leveraging their expertise in the Apple ecosystem, they extended their services to include Xero, an accounting package that became part of a broader ecosystem of apps. By 2015, SMB became Xero Gold Partners, and in 2016, their success stories reached Cupertino, leading Apple to include SMB in the exclusive Mobility Partner Program (MPP).
Under Jeff's leadership, SMB Consultants evolved from its retail roots to become a leader in cloud integration across various industries, including hospitality, manufacturing, and wholesale distribution. Jeff's knack for spotting technological trends and integrating them into SMB's services has positioned the company as a pioneer in the omni-channel era, helping businesses seamlessly connect their sales channels both online and offline.
