Jeff Weiss

Jeff Weiss is the founder and C.E.O. of Atlantis Worldwide, LLC. Jeff grew up in McAllen, Texas at the southernmost tip of Texas at the Mexican border. After earning a B.S. in Business Administration from Washington University in St. Louis, Jeff spent a year traveling in Europe and the Middle East while studying at the Hebrew University in Jerusalem. Upon returning to the United States, Jeff studied for a J.D. at Washington University in St. Louis, then earned a Masters in International Management at Thunderbird, the American Graduate School of International Management in Glendale, AZ. When Jeff arrived in New York City, he learned the business of international trade by working for the world’s largest privately owned steel and metal trading company in both its New York and London offices. Jeff started Atlantis in 1993, working in his apartment (with his cat) after borrowing $600 to purchase a fax machine. Within 3 months, Jeff moved Atlantis to offices in the trendy, but at the time dilapidated Flatiron district of Manhattan. Jeff has resided in the New York area and is enjoying the best time of his life with his wife Paula and his teenage son Eli.
