Jeff Moe, Founder – UMERANG

Jeff Moe doesn't just manage teams; he builds systems that win through unbreakable synergy. His teamwork DNA was forged on the diamond, powering the 1984 AAA state champion Columbia River High squad and syncing with teammates in the Junior College World Series. He learned that victory demands every player’s strength aligned. He applies this vision at St. Luke’s Health System, where he orchestrates clinicians, admins, and patients under life-critical stakes, turning cross-functional tension into seamless, high-stakes collaboration. That same synergy now drives UMERANG: student developers from Boise State and BYU-Idaho sprint in 12-week harmony, delivering Go dashboards and JSON Chrome extensions that reveal sustainability insights and dietary preference drivers. An Arizona State Communication graduate, Jeff founded UMERANG to scale that alignment—uniting consumers, retailers, and certifiers in real-time ethical action. His teams win by playing to strengths—on the field, in the hospital, in the marketplace. Now, with UMERANG, we’re inviting you to join the lineup.
