About Us

Founder and President, Jonathan Yundt has a passion for helping teams thrive. Jon is an entrepreneur and a business strategist. He enjoys developing leaders and teams, as well as consulting on specific projects and engagements. 

Jon grew up among entrepreneurs and business owners through his family business. After WWII, Deryl Yundt, Jon’s grandfather, built and owned gas stations in the Los Angeles area. After a number of years as a top salesperson in the construction industry, Deryl soon saw a market need and started a manufacturing business to serve that same industry.  Jon’s father, Jimmy Yundt later assumed leadership of the business and took it to greater heights, expanding throughout North America. Jon grew up in the business, and as he likes to say, “worked for every department except for welding.” It was there that he learned to understand the importance of efficient processes, good teamwork, and business ethics. 

After almost two decades of outside experience working for global Fortune 500 companies, best in class consulting firms, and small businesses, while earning an MBA from USC Marshall School of Business, Jon returned to his family’s business to guide and develop more modern sales and marketing processes. Seeing his experience and education help his family business succeed made it clear to Jon that his purpose is to help other businesses thrive. To fulfill this purpose, Jon launched TAKA Consultants.
