Jeff Kueter is the Director of Corporate Engagement at the University of Iowa. He specializes in the analysis and development of innovation policy and ecosystem development with an emphasis on identifying external opportunities and prospective partners with whom to cooperatively advance the University’s economic development goals. He spent more than two decades working in science, technology and innovation policy issues in Washington, D.C., connecting policymakers, corporations, government, and other public policy groups, to identify policy and programmatic options and building the coalitions necessary to advance those options.

He returned to his alma mater, the University of Iowa, in 2014 to assume the presidency of the University of Iowa Alumni Association. Following the Association’s closure in 2017, he assumed his present role, which blends a passion to connect Iowa’s alumni in meaningful ways with a professional expertise in innovation and technology policy.
