Sharing our hardships moves us through shame and into healing Eli Nash is the CEO of JEG & Sons Inc. and the CoFounder of MicDrop. Eli founded JEG & Sons in 2006 to bring no contract and unlocked phones to US etailers and retailers. Under his guidance, JEG grew from a startup to over $200M in revenue, servicing retail giants such as Walmart, Amazon, Best Buy, Target and many others.

In addition to his business accomplishments, Eli has taken active role in the nonprofit world sitting on the Board of Lamplighters Yeshivah (a Jewish Day school), JCW (a leading organization in the fight against child sexual abuse) and in an advisory role with Urban Promise Miami (an afterschool program servicing little Havana).

As Eli held the details of his own abuse secret for many years, he is now passionate about empowering others to speak up and to use their voice to be an agent of change in their communities.
