Jeremy Schwach

Two themes run deep with Jeremy: his team-building magnetism and his drive to reinvent himself. He primed his entrepreneurial tendencies founding and running a profitable student transportation company in college. Jeremy’s six years at Epic included managing Epic’s third-party relationships and running large multi-hospital implementations. He deepened his healthcare IT client sensibility in a leadership role in a large health system before Bluetree’s founders tapped him in early 2013 to help grow the company from three to over 250 team members. Jeremy has an eye for opportunity, a mind that makes sense out of complexity, and a light-hearted affability that brings out the best in people.

Ted Gurman

Ted is on a quest to elevate you to your full potential of awesomeness. He founded Bluetree Network with a belief that the workplace could indeed be a place where employees showed up as themselves rather than work-persona approximations of themselves - where individuality and authenticity are celebrated alongside collaboration. It turned out he was right - Bluetree grew at a remarkable rate, eclipsing 250 employees after only 4 years, and earning recognition locally and nationally as an exceptional place to work. Now Ted is a personal development coach, working with individuals and organizations to help them expand their awareness and shift from living reactively to living consciously - from tolerating life and work to loving it.
