Ron Jakubisin

Marketing Director

Ron began his career as an engineer, inspired by his father and grandfather who owned construction and glazing businesses. His path into marketing took shape when he co-founded Club Nautico, a boat rental company designed to reduce the cost of boat ownership through a membership model. Under Ron’s leadership, the company expanded to 74 locations across the U.S. before being acquired by Outboard Marine, where he stayed on as Senior Vice President of Marketing. Leveraging his corporate experience, Ron later launched his own marketing firm, specializing in helping startups and entrepreneurial ventures grow. In 1999, he played a pivotal role in branding Tarpon Bend for The Restaurant People, contributing to the group’s expansion into a major restaurant operator. This success led to collaborations with hospitality giants such as Hilton and Sheraton. Ron holds a degree in Civil Engineering from the University of Central Florida and a master’s in Finance from the University of Miami.

Today, as Marketing Director at We Care Hospitality, he thrives in a dynamic and entrepreneurial environment where innovation, collaboration, and a passion for hospitality drive success. Ron is proud to contribute to a company that values creativity and teamwork, helping to elevate each venue’s unique brand while fostering meaningful connections with guests and the community. For Ron, seeing new concepts take root and flourish within We Care’s portfolio is one of the most rewarding parts of his role.
