Mr. Azevedo has had his heart in business development since an early age, starting a very successful apparel company that grew from humble garage beginnings to annual gross billings of over a million dollars.

In 2009, Jason co-founded Advoque, taking on the role of CEO — his talents are far beyond running the company, with duties touching conceptual development, engineering, and deployment. Since 2009, Jason’s been at the helm of growing the company year-over-year, acquiring several entities, and creating several others to round out manufacturing efforts. His emphasis on Made In America is a driving force for how the various companies he’s co-founded operate. He also assists with business development and client strategy and is an integral part of how we operate. Jason has worked on many key projects for companies such as Arista Networks, Best Buy, Costco, Disney, EA Games, Intel, Roku, Starbucks, Target, WalMart, and Warner Bros.

Personal interests range from riding dirt bikes and quads, to beach volleyball, to whiskey tasting, to learning to ranch horses, goats, cattle, and chickens. International travel weaves its way in there, too!

Mr. Azevedo co-founded Advoque in 2009, taking the role of COO and building the company from 3 employees, to a staff of 150. Before Advoque, Keven was co-founder and COO of Matteo Studios, an award-winning apparel company receiving assignments from clients such as Disney, Facebook, and EA Games. His attention to detail and ability to run an efficient production team has paved the way for his teams to hold true to timelines and quality control. Another key ingredient to his success: the cultivation and ability to foster opportunities for rising talent within evolving organizations.

Graduating from San Jose State University with a BA in History, Keven also played soccer for SJSU. His commitment to excellence has followed him into coaching youth soccer teams for the last eight years, being recognized as training the number one team in the nation for four years in a row — three of his players have gone on to professional careers in the United States, Mexico, and Europe.

In his spare time, Keven pursues personal passions: restoring classic cars and motorcycles, photography, camping, watching American and foreign films, and European travel.
