An accomplished technology executive, Jeffery Scott Fraser brings more than two decades of experience to his work as chairman of Job Pose, a company that brings together job seekers and employers. During his long career, Jeffery S. Fraser has earned honors such as the Ernst & Young Technology Entrepreneur of the Year award.

Since 1986, Ernst & Young has acknowledged the world’s most innovative and successful entrepreneurs with its coveted Entrepreneur of the Year awards. Currently, the company recognizes business leaders from every region of the United States and more than 60 countries around the world.
In 2017, Ernst & Young named Phyllis Newhouse the National Technology Entrepreneur of the Year. A military veteran, Newhouse was honored for her efforts in developing and deploying technology-based defense strategies to cybersecurity threats through her company Xtreme Solutions. A founder of the Cyber Espionage Task Force at the Pentagon while in the military, she built her company by utilizing the experience and skills she developed while serving her country.
Though Newhouse had no entrepreneurial experience when she founded Xtreme, the gamble paid off. Currently, the company employs workers in 42 states and generates millions of dollars in revenue.
