In this episode of The Girl Dad Show, host Young Han sits down with Jack Nelson, CEO of Skimmer, a private equity–backed technology company powering pool service businesses across the country. Jack shares his journey from practicing law to leading a fast-growing technology company serving thousands of pool professionals nationwide.
Jack opens up about how his background in law and business shaped his decision-making style, why he values being deliberate in both leadership and parenting, and what it takes to scale a company in a traditional industry that’s rapidly evolving through technology.
Beyond business, this conversation dives into fatherhood and family life.
