Westbury, NY — Spark451, a Jenzabar company, is proud to welcome Jerald Harrison, our newest Senior Business Development Strategist. Based in Tulsa, Oklahoma, Harrison will focus on our college and university partners in the Southwest and Western regions to help them reach and exceed their institutional goals.

Harrison holds an MBA from Mid America Christian University and a Master’s in human resource management from Webster University.

Harrison’s expertise allows him to advise both prospective and current institutional partners, providing crucial insights and understanding into solutions that colleges and universities may not have considered.
