Brian Novak

Director of Strategic Growth

Brian’s relationship with JACS began in the spring of 2005 when he walked through the doors as a client. He had just completed 28 days of rehab healing from alcohol and drug addiction and has been sober ever since. Brian’s journey has been grounded in his commitment to give back to the recovery community.

A serial entrepreneur, Brian has founded, built, and sold businesses in Japan, Canada, and the United States during his 25-year corporate career. A year ago, Brian decided it was time to begin planning a shift in the course of his career journey and feed his passion.

In his role at JACS, Brian has found his dream job with an overall focus on strategic growth. He leads our corporate Lunch & Learns offerings and invests his energy into the strategic planning and implementation of fundraising and other growth initiatives. Brian is grateful to work with the amazing team at JACS, helping to drive the overall growth of the organization both internally and in the community.
