CLAY LOGES

Clay is a highly accomplished serial entrepreneur who began his business career working with computers for IBM and then new product development for Washington Mutual.  Early in his career he left the corporate world to found and build multi-unit chains pioneering the Speedi-Lube quick oil chain concept in the Puget Sound area and then built a second chain in the Bay Area of northern California.  After acquisition, these chains are now operated under the Jiffy Lube brand.  Typical of many of his businesses these chains were game-changing, disruptive concepts in their day.

His career continues to be based on the pioneering other new services. He’s built and operated an 800+ employee telecom business with networks in Russia, Belarus, and Uzbekistan; and he founded and operated a classic rock radio station in St. Petersburg, Russia.  As you can detect, his approach typically involves original thinking that disrupts established practices to create new business opportunities.

His career also includes the management of multiple advertising agencies and a producer of corporate films.  During the heyday of cellular, he was a principal in a chain of 30+ retail outlets serving as master dealers for cellular services – including T-Mobile, Verizon, and at & t.  Clay is currently CEO of Yodio – short for “your audio” — a web-based service that allows people to enhance their digital photos by adding their own voice commentary.  This easy-to-self-produce service provides rich media content for Social Media users.   www.Yodio.com was selected by PC World as one of the 25 sites to watch.
