  “People person.” This simple expression describes President, Jeff Russell, to a tee. His greatest joy, besides getting to know his employees and their families, is helping each to realize his or her full potential. This is the cornerstone of his management philosophy, and it has catapulted the organization from a humble beginning with one office to 25 offices and over 250 employees. Pango Group has been recognized as one of the “Top 100 Places To Work in Los Angeles County" for four years running. Jeff’s management style was shaped by an early career in international sales that exposed him to best business practices, fiduciary responsibility and managing people from a wide array of countries and cultures. As Executive Co-Founder of Pango Group, whose companies include Glen Oaks Escrow, CV Escrow, American Trust Escrow and Escrow Trust Advisors, Jeff oversees daily operations and directs strategic initiatives to continue leading the company into the future while enhancing the lives of employees, customers and partners along the way.
