A new perspective

Jerrod Appenzeller

Executive Consultant, Founder

I’m passionate about helping clients find unique ways to unlock more of their potential. I have a professional background in finance, economics, banking, risk management, valuation, statistics, and AI and I’m an experienced entrepreneur, having started and managed a CPG brand and AgTech business and worked as an advisor for several startups. I volunteer my time helping other military veteran entrepreneurs as an IVMF Bunker Labs Ambassador.

I hold an MBA from the University of Missouri with additional graduate coursework in statistics and machine learning from Iowa State and Stanford University. I’ve worked as an adjunct professor for the University of Missouri, DMACC, and Drake University on the topics of finance, accounting, and statistical programming.

I’m a scholar and a warrior — I’m an Iraq war veteran, having served as an infantryman with the 101st Airborne Division, and I hold a black belt in Brazilian Jiu Jitsu. As the saying goes, I’m a lover and a fighter — I enjoy time with my family and the community connections we’ve established. Due to my experience, grit, and deep professional network, I’m confident that no challenge is too big for Ultimum to handle.
