About
Jackson Stevens has a passion for people and building things. Originally moving to Denver to study classical music, he now plays an important role as a business leader.
Jackson cut his teeth at the Colorado Symphony, the rocky mountain region’s largest performing arts organization, starting just four months shy of completing his undergraduate degree. During his time there he architected the Remix Young Professionals program, which earned him the Ernst & Young Next Wave Leadership Award, and developed the popular Beethoven and Brews chamber music series, which has been adopted by a handful of major orchestras across the United States.
He then transitioned into tech, where he climbed the ranks to COO of CKD Technology Partners, a Denver-based innovation studio specializing in the development of high-impact, highly-secure web and mobile software. One part operations, one part product, and one part strategy, he established a track record of solving complex problems in the financial, real estate, and healthcare sectors.
While at CKD, Jackson lead the team that developed RedLine, the disruptive self storage property management platform. Deployed by Red Dot Storage in 2018, RedLine was the first industry platform to couple customer billing and field task business logic. The platform was able to streamline and automate a number of standard operational flows, which ultimately influenced the product roadmaps for the PMS incumbents. He then joined the Red Dot team in 2019 to oversee the development of the platform.
In 2020, Jackson joined SpareBox Storage as employee #2. Instrumental to the development of the platform, he was responsible for crafting the operations playbook, including launching SpareBox’s nearshore call center. He was played a vital role in scaling the SpareBox platform from from 0 to 7.4 million square feet of real estate in only 18 months.
In 2024, Jackson was appointed CEO of SpareBox Technologies, a spinoff of SpareBox Storage that sells software-as-a-service to self storage owners and operators.
Some of Jackson’s past community collaborations have included Big Brothers Big Sisters, Denver Metro Chamber Leadership Foundation, Cross Cultured, Downtown Denver Partnership’s CityBuild, Denver Startup Week, and The Bridge Project.
As a musician, Jackson has performed with the American Contemporary Music Ensemble, recorded with the Colorado Symphony, and is an alumnus of the prestigious Aspen Music School and Festival. While not maintaining a frequent performance schedule, he sometimes makes an appearance with the Denver Philharmonic.
In his spare time, Jackson loves to read, weightlift, play music, eat delicious food, see stand-up, cook, meditate. He loves laughing with his friends, family, and his amazing wife, Kelly.
