Tom James Company

I work with high-performing executives who want every edge they can get in their career. In the sport of business, the attitude and mindset of the executive officers plays a critical role in the health of the company. Most executives have never considered just how dramatic an impact their clothing can have on their attitude as well as how others perceive them (both of which impact his ability to lead and perform effectively).

The Company was initially founded as a means to commercialize the intellectual property of co-founder Clayton Turner involving the conversion of woody biomass into industrial grade biogenic carbon materials and chemicals (i.e., specialty carbon black, wood vinegar, wood tar), with applications in agriculture, environmental remediation, building materials, cleaning supplies, and power electronics.

Jake Hoffberg is a capital markets strategist and fundraising expert who brings extensive experience in private capital formation and strategic growth to Regenerative Industrial. As Co-Founder and Vice President, Jake leads the company's fundraising initiatives, market positioning, and operational strategy.

* Deep understanding of regulatory advantages and compliance frameworks for alternative capital raising

With his rare combination of capital formation experience, narrative engineering abilities, and operational focus, Jake continues to drive Regenerative Industrial's growth as a pioneer in the emerging Circular BioEconomy.
