PROFILE

Sales leader, technologist and developer

Jeff Matthews is a Las Vegas based sales executive and entrepreneur. For eighteen years he has helped build the sales organization at 411 Locals, an internet advertising agency for local service businesses, rising to Senior Sales Director and leading teams across the United States, the Philippines, Mexico and Egypt. He lived in the Philippines for five years, starting call centers and hiring hundreds of people along the way.

His foundation is technology. Jeff studied web design and web development at UNLV and spent his early career helping businesses win online through websites, search and digital advertising. That background still shapes how he leads: measure everything, automate what repeats, and use modern tools, including AI, to help small teams perform like large ones.

In 2022 he brought that playbook to land and residential development, launching Innovative Custom Homes with his business partner. Jeff leads the business side: land, capital, budgets, permits, schedules and sales.
