Jeff Patterson

Since 2017, Jeff Patterson has been the chief operating officer and chief financial officer of two music rights platforms: SoundHouse LLC and round2media LLC, where he co-led the acquisition of dozens of music catalogs encompassing more than 10,000 songs that deliver 10 billion streams per year. The SoundHouse and round2media catalogs include more than 100 releases that have received RIAA platinum certification and multiple Grammy Awards across country, Latin, reggaeton, hip-hop, R&B, pop, Christian, and other genres. In 2021, SoundHouse was acquired by HarbourView Equity Partners, and in 2022, Patterson cofounded round2media.

Previously, Patterson was a partner and led investments in the media sector for 21 years at Columbia Capital, a private equity firm with $7 billion under management, where he was involved with companies at all stages of development. His last investment at Columbia Capital was into SoundHouse in 2016, a year before he joined the company. Prior to Columbia, Patterson spent five years at First National Bank of Boston, in Boston and London. He earned his undergraduate degree from Bowdoin College and his MBA from the J.L. Kellogg Graduate School of Management at Northwestern University. 

Patterson has been a trustee of Noble and Greenough School, where he was treasurer of the corporation and served as chair of the finance and audit committees. He is a trustee and officer of Codman Community Farms, a 501(c)(3) agricultural enterprise operating a 250-year-old working farm that teaches sustainable agriculture through regenerative farming methods. Additionally, he is a trustee of the Loon Preservation Committee, a conservation and research organization that protects and monitors loon populations as a sentinel species indicating environmental health. 

He loves to spend time outdoors on skis, bikes, or his own two feet. Patterson enjoys all kinds of music. His mercifully short music career as a guitarist for several ill-fated garage bands peaked in high school.
