Jere Thompson is Co-Founder and CEO of Ambit Energy. Ambit Energy was founded in early 2006 at a Potbelly’s restaurant in Addison, Texas over a couple of turkey sandwiches. Introduced through a mutual friend, Jere Thompson and Chris Chambless met for lunch to discuss energy deregulation. They liked the opportunity, and they liked each other. During lunch, they made a few important decisions: to build the finest and most respected retail energy company in America, provide affordable electricity and gas, and to never sacrifice their integrity for growth.
In 1992, Jere was also at the forefront of the telecommunications industry as it deregulated. He founded CapRock Fiber Networks to build fiber and broadband networks across Texas. As CEO, he guided CapRock into new markets, took the company public and managed its growth from infancy to 1,300 employees and $300 million in annual revenues.Jere received an B.S. in Economics at Stanford University and a M.B.A. from the University of Texas at Austin. He sits on the boards of several civic organizations and was also Chairman and a member of the Board of the North Texas Tollway Authority for over eleven years.
