 For Jeff Papows, each day begins at 5:00 am when he clomps through his house in his riding boots and heads off to the barn. This ritual is the thing that truly gives him peace of mind: his morning ride and daily visit with his horses.
He began his riding career, as an amateur owner jumper rider, late in life, and has experienced success over the years with his equine partners Roxett 7, Tenacious, and Glorydays. Roxett is now retired and still resides with Jeff. They are inseparable. Jeff has a great love and respect for the sport of show jumping and its athletes, both human and equine. Through his travels and his long tenure as the Chairman of "The Fidelity Investments Jumper Classic" of Hampton Falls, New Hampshire, Jeff has become one of the sport's great ambassadors.
Jeff is an accomplished author having published two successful books: Glitch-The Hidden Impact of Faulty Software, and Enterprise.com Market Leadership in the Information Age. Both books have been reprinted in many languages worldwide.
Jeff has spent the last 25 years in the software industry as an accomplished executive holding senior industry positions. He is currently the President and CEO of Cambridge, MA-based WebLayers, Inc. Most notably, he was the President and CEO of Lotus Development Corporation, also based in Cambridge, Massachusetts, as well as President of Cognos Corporation. Jeff also serves on the boards of several other software companies.
Jeff has a B.S. in Biology, an M.A. in Human Resource Management, and a Ph.D. in Business Administration. He has been a frequent guest on various national television shows and testified in the United States Senate on technology concerns of national importance.
Jeff is a long-time resident of Gloucester, Massachusetts and shares a home with his wife, Patricia. He is also the proud father of three grown children, and several dogs that populate his Gloucester residence.
