| Jefferson Wallace, General Counsel
Lead trumpet 96’ summer Olympics opening ceremonies, followed by a LA summer with the National Academy of Recording Arts and Sciences. Finished up a Music Management degree from Georgia State University, married an amazing entrepreneur who happened to also be the love of his life, and decided to tackle a few years in New York while attending law school at Rutgers. Put in time at Capitol, Blue Note, EMI CMG, and a few other EMI branded record labels. Cut his legal teeth on Nashville’s Music Row, left to help build an iTunes promotional start-up, and threw out his shingle to launch a law firm somewhere in between. Corporate came calling by way of in-house counsel for GAC, which quickly grew to supporting Food Network, HGTV, Travel Channel, and a host of other Warner Bros. Discovery networks. After a ten-year corporate stretch, the entrepreneurial itch came back with a path to Marcus Lemonis. He is blessed to be in such good company, thankful for the green lights, and ready to employ the experiences others have invited him to share in his new adventure as General Counsel for Marcus Entertainment. People, Process, and Product.
