Mark Jones Jr., an Aggie with bachelor’s and master’s degrees from A&M, is the CFO of the $3 billion publicly traded Goosehead Insurance, the company founded by his parents, Mark and Robyn Jones. Under Jones Jr.’s financial stewardship, Goosehead has seen significant revenue growth and improved operational efficiency, according to the company’s CEO, Mark Miller.
“He views hard work as a privilege and has skillfully balanced the legacy of his parents, while carving out his own unique path and voice,” Miller says.
Miller goes on to call him a critical thinker who demonstrates exceptional problem-solving skills, a “calm adaptability” to challenges, and is a thoughtful communicator.
Jones, one of six siblings, had planned to forge unique path apart from the family business.
“With time, I started recognizing the significant influence my parents had on the lives of many families,” Jones says. “They took risks, offered opportunities to people for establishing franchises and witnessed their success stories. I knew I needed to be part of that.”
