Jay Bregman (born New York City, 17 April 1979) is a London-based entrepreneur who co-founded UK Internet Business eCourier.co.uk, and serves as the company's Chief Technical Officer.
Education and Background
Bregman attended Tenafly High School in Tenafly, New Jersey. He then graduated magna cum laude from Dartmouth College in the US with a degree in Philosophy, where his thesis was a critique of Lawrence Lessig's book Code and Other Laws of Cyberspace. He later received a Master's degree from the London School of Economics.[1]
His father, Dr. David Bregman, is a cardiac surgeon in the US and inventor of the Intra-aortic balloon pump.[2]
eCourier.co.uk
In 2003, Bregman started eCourier.co.uk in London with fellow Dartmouth alumnus Tom Allason. They developed the idea after a failed delivery of tickets to Queen’s tennis[3]. At the time, Bregman was taking an entrepreneurship course at the LSE. The two researched the industry, outlined the problems with traditional operators, and developed an IT platform to address them. Bregman designed "Larry", eCourier's intelligent despatch system, which uses Operational Research[4] techniques to assign new orders to couriers in real time.[5] eCourier has won a number of awards for its innovative use of technology.[6] [7] [8] [9] [10]
