Jeffrey Previte – 

Jeffrey Previte is an entrepreneur and executive who has more than three decades of business leadership experience. He started his first business, Previte Landscaping and Irrigation, when he was just 13 years old. He originally went door-to-door in his neighborhood, asking people if they wanted their lawns mowed, but grew this endeavor into a successful business over the next decade. Jeffrey Previte eventually secured construction equipment, including an excavator and backhoe, and expanded the business to employ 30 people serving hundreds of clients. He also expanded its services to include landscape architecture and construction, plowing, and home renovations.

Shortly after selling the business in 1998, Jeffrey Previte joined EBI Consulting when there were 13 employees and was tasked with leading its telecommunications practice. By emphasizing key wireless telecom client relationships and strategic growth initiatives, he helped EBI become the market leader in environmental, health and safety services to the wireless industry. He traveled five days per week for 15 years to help expand the company’s clientele beyond the Northeast. Previte eventually grew the telecom consulting business to include staff in more than 20 cities across the U.S.

Jeffrey Previte’s consulting model was later adopted by EBI to assist clients across multiple sectors, including retail, real estate, and healthcare, in areas such as energy use reduction, social and environmental responsibility, and environmental health and safety. Beyond his work with telecom clients, Previte helped establish professional organizations for wireless companies in California and New York and founded the New England Wireless Association. He stepped down as co-CEO of EBI in 2020 and now leads a small, family-based olive oil business.

Complementing his business leadership experience, Previte holds an MBA from Boston College’s Carroll School of Management. He supports nonprofits committed to addiction recovery and education through his family trust. While leading EBI, he oversaw corporate philanthropy to organizations such as Partners in Health, Habitat for Humanity, the Greater Boston Food Bank, and Arizona Quest for Kids. In his free time, his hobbies include hiking, mountaineering, skiing, biking, and reading.
