Jacob Terneus

Chief Executive Officer (CEO)

Jacob is serious, earnest, and humble—someone who leads by serving and pays close attention to the people and problems in front of him. His core values include servant leadership, focus, and delivering more value than he consumes. His Catholic faith grounds his life, as does his desire to be a devoted husband and father. He chose consulting, and ultimately Anchor Group, because he wanted to help businesses wrestle with real problems and find meaningful solutions. Before joining Anchor Group in 2020, Jacob completed graduate studies in Latin and philosophy and taught at the university level. That experience taught him how to ask good questions, think deeply about complex problems, write clearly, and educate those willing to learn. He also led wilderness leadership development expeditions, which strengthened his ability to guide and support others. One of his favorite parts of his work now is supporting employees as they grow—and building software solutions that make clients’ work more human and less stressful. Outside of work, Jacob enjoys speaking Latin, discussing great literature over tea or whiskey, and all things bicycles—from mountain biking to cargo biking with his family to restoring classic steel frames. He also enjoys ballroom and English country dancing and thinking about how places are designed—cities, homes, and transportation networks—to encourage virtuous living.
