President, Spunlogic

October 15, 2007

Our fourth-ranked honoree started his company in 1998 as a senior at the University of North Carolina with his buddy – and future VP of Operations – Raj Kakarala.

Jeff Hilimire's Spunlogic was a Web marketing and technology company. How do you grow a professional services firm, particularly one in an industry as competitive as this one, from scratch?

They did it by giving potential clients a taste of honey before they buy.

They spent thousands to build a functional Web site and technology platform for HoneyBaked Hams, and stole the business from a competitor.

More wins followed, including Brand Atlanta and Turner Broadcasting.

Focused on metrics and user behavior to convert and retain customers, Spunlogic has become one of the top Web companies in the south.

Jeff, who comes from a family of entrepreneurs, is involved with Junior Achievement, including JA's shadowing program. Little known fact: He is actually 7 and three-quarters years old. He is a leap day baby.
