Jeffrey Sternberg

Jeffrey Sternberg is a Co-Founder of Hunt Club, where he helped build and execute the company’s go-to-market strategy, establishing many of the partnerships, client relationships, and cultural values that continue to define the business. Over the course of his career, he has placed hundreds of executives across venture-backed and private equity-backed companies, helping high-growth organizations build leadership teams that scale.

Prior to returning to Hunt Club, Jeff served as a Managing Director at First Analysis, where he advised B2B technology founders and executives on growth capital, M&A, and strategic initiatives. He continues to serve the firm as an Advisor.

Throughout his career, Jeff has cultivated and grown strategic relationships across the private equity and venture capital ecosystem, partnering with leading firms including Thoma Bravo, Bain Capital, H.I.G. Capital, and Shore Capital. He has also built trusted partnerships with innovative companies such as Ruggable, DUDE Products, and Pernod Ricard, helping connect them with transformative leadership talent and strategic growth opportunities.

After his early career in Digital Media and AdTech, Jeff became a Partner at New Coast Ventures, a Chicago-based venture studio that helped early-stage companies on fundraising and digital transformation. That experience shaped his relationship-first approach to executive search and talent advisory.

Jeff earned a B.S. from Lehigh University, where he was a four-year Division I varsity tennis player. He also holds FINRA Series 7 and Series 63 licenses and is based in the Chicago area.
