Entrepreneurial Maverick and Co-Founder of Marquis Jet

Jesse Itzler is a dynamic entrepreneur, bestselling author, and motivational speaker renowned for his innovative approach to business and life. Born on August 22, 1968, in Roslyn, New York, Itzler’s journey into the world of entrepreneurship began early. He attended American University, where he earned a degree in Justice, Law, and Society. Itzler first made waves in the business world with his unique ideas and relentless drive, co-founding Marquis Jet in 2001. Marquis Jet, a pioneering private jet card company, revolutionized the private aviation industry by offering clients access to private jet travel without the long-term financial commitment. Under his leadership, Marquis Jet became the world’s largest private jet card company, eventually being acquired by Berkshire Hathaway’s NetJets in 2010. This monumental success marked Itzler as a visionary in the business world, known for his ability to identify and capitalize on emerging market opportunities.

Beyond his entrepreneurial ventures, Itzler is also celebrated for his adventurous spirit and commitment to personal growth. In 2015, he chronicled his transformative experience of living with a Navy SEAL for a month in his New York Times bestselling book, “”Living with a SEAL: 31 Days Training with the Toughest Man on the Planet.”” This experience not only pushed him to new physical and mental limits but also reinforced his belief in the power of stepping outside one’s comfort zone. Itzler’s life philosophy is further encapsulated in his creation of the “”Build Your Life Resume”” program, which encourages individuals to prioritize life experiences and personal fulfillment over traditional career milestones. Additionally, Itzler is a co-owner of the Atlanta Hawks, a testament to his diverse interests and ability to succeed across various industries. Through his engaging speaking engagements, Itzler inspires audiences worldwide with his stories of resilience, creativity, and the importance of embracing life’s adventures. His multifaceted career and zest for life continue to motivate others to pursue their passions and live authentically.

Thank you for all you did with booking Magic Johnson and being on site with him. It was so refreshing meeting you in person and having the service you provided. That was an invaluable experience for me and my team and I cannot thank you enough. Magic was amazing – there could not have been a better fit for our conference.
