Jeff McGowan, Chief Operating Officer

A graduate of the University of Southern California with a Bachelor’s Degree in business and marketing, Jeff didn’t join the family business immediately after college. Instead, he went to work for a technology company in Los Angeles. For six years he was the manager of LA operations while doubling also as a sales representative. He wanted to ensure that when he did join A.O.S. he could bring a broader view to the company.

When he completed his MBA from CSU Dominquez Hills in 1998, he decided it was the perfect time to join A.O.S. He spent years in operations and service learning the business. Today, he is the Vice President of Operations and oversees the service department. Jeff continues his ties with USC and was the president of the USC Alumni Group of Central California. He has been active in IBPI, a $2 billion industry buying group, serving as a director. IBPI is the largest group of its kind and has over 200 commercial copier dealer affiliates nationwide.

Jeff is now the co-owner of A.O.S. and is committed to continuing the company's exceptional track record of building long-term customer relationships and partnerships through outstanding sales and customer support. As the Chief Operating Officer for A.O.S., he oversees both the Sales and the Service Departments.
