Speaker Bio
Jeff Beckmann was born and raised in rural Nebraska and has lived in the state his whole life outside of the time spent obtaining BSBA and MPA degrees from the University of South Dakota in Vermillion, SD. He and his wife Shruti enjoy golfing, traveling, coaching his two sons Harvey and Levi in activities, and spending time together as a family.
In 2009, Jeff moved to Omaha and began working for KPMG, where he worked in their audit practice for 4.5 years and Jeff obtained his CPA. Upon leaving KPMG, he moved onto a short stint as an Executive Recruiter, primarily focused on Accounting and Finance roles, for Hemphill Search Group in Omaha, NE. After a year in the recruiting profession where he was able to build significant relationships with many leaders throughout the Omaha area, he moved on and accepted the position of Assistant Corporate Controller for Lindsay Corporation.
While at Lindsay, Jeff managed all aspects of financial consolidation and reporting, including the creation of all quarterly required SEC reporting, and oversaw technical accounting for the publicly traded entity. After a couple of years in this role, Jeff took on a global project for Lindsay to implement OneStream financial reporting software at all locations for the Company throughout the world. Upon completing this project, Jeff was promoted to Director of Accounting and oversaw many aspects of the shared services function for Lindsay Corp.
In 2018, Jeff became CFO of medical staffing services provider LRS Healthcare. With LRS undergoing significant growth from 2018-2022, Jeff helped lead efforts to replace old technologies that were no longer meeting the company’s demands, including implementing a modern sophisticated HRIS platform, CRM system, general ledger system and, most importantly, a new caregiver platform for the thousands of healthcare clinicians working for LRS across the country. Implementing all these systems in such a short time while growing the business and building out foundational departments such as finance, HR, Operations and Tech has enabled LRS to continue focusing on its vision of providing the most hassle-free experience for travelers and customers.
In January 2023, Jeff was promoted to President of LRS Healthcare and assumed the role previously held by the founder of the Company, who had served in the role since inception in March 2006. Subsequent to his promotion in January, Jeff led LRS through a sell-side acquisition process. In June 2023 the Company closed a deal to sell the Company to Jackson Healthcare, a multi-billion dollar entity focused on the Healthcare industry, primarily in technology and human capital. Beckmann lead the Company as President of the stand-alone operating entity from the time of the acquisition through July 2024 when he moved onto his current venture.
In his current venture, Jeff works with a small team leading the financial and business aspects of multiple entities, most notably Beefcake Jerky and Dux Bux LLC. Beefcake Jerky is an e-commerce and retail distributor of beef, pork, and chicken jerky, as well as apparel, based out of Valley, NE and has been in business since June of 2023. Dux Bux LLC is an outdoor apparel and accessories business also headquartered in Valley, NE, focused on delivering high quality products to cost-conscious consumers who are passionate about the outdoors. Each of these businesses were founded by Andrew Flair, a noted YouTube influencer, and Jeff is excited about the opportunity to partner with Andrew to continue to scale these businesses well into the future.
