pleased to announce that business valuation luminary Gary E. Jones has
agreed to come out of retirement to become Chief Executive Officer.
Gary’s
first order of business has been to re-evaluate all business strategies

“I am
totally ecstatic to have hired Gary to head up the Center for Economic
& Industry Research, Inc. When
I first met him 14 years ago, we immediately clicked and he assumed the
informal role of being one of my creative advisors.
I can honestly say that one-third of what NACVA is today had
Gary’s creative genius behind it. I
admiringly watched Gary quickly rise to the pinnacle of the business
valuation profession, setting the example for other valuators nationwide
on what to do to be successful. His
success story is one I have shared with many NACVA members.
Having him on our team is assurance that the Center will deliver
all that it promises, and it will soon be the ultimate clearinghouse for
data and information on private companies,” said Parnell Black, chief
executive officer for NACVA.
