Founding Partner Jon Thompson

Jon Thompson

Founder / Chief Strategy Officer

Jon Thompson’s career began post-college in Botswana, where he spent two years working for the Peace Corp as a game warden and outdoor educator. He then traded the wilds of Africa for the jungles of corporate America, spending the next 25 years as an entrepreneur and executive.

In 2000, Jon and his brother Brick Thompson founded the venture-backed technology startup, Vercuity, which analyzed data for enterprise companies to control costs. They then led a rollup of the niche, backed by One Equity Partners. Later, the duo worked as real estate developers before getting back to their roots in technology and data analytics with the founding of Blue Margin, Inc., in 2011.

As Chief Strategy Officer, Jon now plays the role of “puzzle master,” helping PE firms and mid-market companies better understand how to win the game of business by focusing on their most vital data indicators. “What’s truly gratifying,” Jon says, “is helping clients reach the epiphany that exposing the right data to the right people is the short path to transformational growth.” That’s the heart of Blue Margin, and Jon’s professional mission.
