Hard Work Brings Success

September 5, 2012

Is Jordan Birnbaum a magnet for successful business deals, just plain lucky or is he a can-do professional with a serious knack for attracting profit to companies? With his track record for high achievement, one has to wonder whether he holds the mythical Midas touch. Everything this man touches literally turns to gold, or in this instance, dollars!

He started off on his profitable journey when he left Cornell University in 1993 having completed a BS in Policy Analysis. He accepted an offer from D.E. Shaw & Co. and started in an 18 month associate program in the area of technology-focused investment banking. Jordan immediately showed aptitude and quickly advanced to working as Trader, specializing in the Asian market place where he had an impressive accountability for 75 specific issues. His knowledge of this industry rapidly expanded and before long he started co-managing the company’s live trading operations in the Tokyo Stock Exchange. The time spent at D.E. Shaw & Co. was a time of lightning speed accomplishment and this set the pace for the rest of Jordan’s career. Most particularly his next undertaking, when he started working at Juno Online Services Inc. later on in 1995.

Jordan was initially employed at Juno Online Services Inc. as the Director of Subscriber Acquisition. This position set the stage for the cutting-edge deal he struck with Blockbuster Video and Blockbuster Music. This distribution deal changed the face of the industry and became standard practice across the board. Spurred by his success and the 1 million subscribers this single deal attained, Juno Online Services Inc. promoted Jordan to being the Vice President of Business Development where he could focus on what he is good at; generating revenue for the company. Again, Jordan exceeded goals and managed to generate 240 times more takings with his team of two people than a twenty five person advertising sales team. These resounding successes lead to further promotion. Jordan became the Senior Vice President of Business Development where he had overall responsibility for the revenue of the company and managed the entire sales force and operations and support staff. With Jordan’s unique combination of skills, intelligence and the right attitude, he played a fundamental role in getting Juno Online Services Inc. to a successful IPO and six quarters of exceeding analytical revenue projections in a row.

His love for the entertainment industry motivated Jordan into the next direction. He invested in a start-up company called Qtopia Events Inc. Regrettably Qtopia was not successful. The company’s setback was a challenge so Jordan Birnbaum moved to LA, took over and eventually renamed it to Vanguard. Under Jordan’s direction, Vanguard managed to start generating millions of dollars over the coming years and became a prime spot for high profile projects and Hollywood premiere parties such as “Borat” and “The Simpsons”.

Jordan is currently working on his latest project with Richard Belzer (Law & Order SVU) called The Secret Beatnik Party with which he intends to produce live and recorded comedy events. With Jordan’s drive this is bound to be another resounding success.
