Jamie Tucker

Jamie is a fourth-generation shareholder of IDEAL Industries, Inc., a 109-year-old familyowned, U.S.-headquartered multinational manufacturer of energy management solutions. He currently serves as Voting Trustee, Board Director and Family Council Member. Over a course of years, Jamie has actively led family ownership within IDEAL’s family governance structure. As Family Assembly Chair, Jamie led the family in strengthened unification and reaffirmation of its commitment to IDEAL’s family governance system. Both the Family Council and the broader family’s active participation nearly doubled, as a result. Jamie’s success in family governance comes from his distinctive skills in relationshipbuilding and communication expressed in one-on-one communication, family-centric conferences and meetings, and family governance committees and task forces.

Beyond IDEAL, Jamie is a persistent serial entrepreneur. Currently, he is developing three distinct ventures in the areas of aquatic invasive species mitigation, biochar production, and commercial compost production. Jamie’s first venture was in residential construction, where, coincidentally, he interacted firsthand with those who use IDEAL’s products as professionals in the building trades. Within all endeavors, Jamie exposes the inherent craftsmanship and artistic beauty of the underlying components and structures. Regardless of the enterprise, Jamie starts with the practice and promotion of sound social, ecological, and business principles as the foundation.

Jamie has served on multiple non-profit boards over the past 12 years. Known for his high sense of ethics and integrity, Jamie brings his multifaceted knowledge base and global perspective to the table for every discussion and decision. He also draws on his broadbased, applied background in business, along with his related intensive studies in finance, economics, science, negotiation, and leadership.

As a collaborative leader, Jamie is a determined student of human behavior and dynamics, and he brings his understanding in his work with others. Whether in the boardroom, family governance or entrepreneurial activities, Jamie consistently builds meaningful, productive partnerships with those who have the essential expertise to drive progress forward.

Jamie makes his home with family and friends along the shores of Lake Superior in northwestern Wisconsin.
