"I mostly look forward to learning from incredible business leaders within our community. I will start real businesses, deal with real money, and most importantly, make decisions with real consequences that I can learn from. I believe CEO will provide a desire to learn and a determined attitude which will put me ahead of the game upon entering college. I am privileged to be a part of the CEO family, and I expect great things for this year."

About My Business

Jodi Thoele is the founder of Greet Ahead. Greet Ahead will custom-design and then mail its specialized, business greeting cards to customers and/or employees. Graphic design work for other marketing materials is also available. Jodi already has years of experience in design, which enables her to produce a wide variety of products that can strengthen the brand of your business. She sees value in a personal touch, but she realizes business owners usually don’t have time to devote to hand-writing greeting cards. So, all her clients need to do is send her names, addresses, and dates… and she’ll take care of the rest. She personally meets with each client to be certain the design(s) chosen is just right for his or her business needs. Greet ahead can be reached at greetahead@gmail.com or found online at greetahead.com. After high school, Jodi will attend Lake Land College to study graphic design. Down the road, she plans to own her own graphic design business or partner in a marketing firm.
