A Message from our CEO & President
Jefferies’ culture of community and partnership among diverse people and ideas contributes to our resiliency, building value for clients, stakeholders, and the communities we serve. We know that having an engaged community of people with different backgrounds and experiences will always help us make the best long-term decisions, regardless of the problem or issue. We are grateful that, through our eight Employee Resource Groups, many employee-partners have meaningful leadership roles across the company, through which their efforts, contagiousness, drive, personalities, and beliefs help to make Jefferies better.
