Jordan Sheiner

Jordan's connection to the Jewish community runs deep. As a child, he went on a mission to Israel with his father, where they immersed themselves in the heritage and traditions of the Jewish people.

Since then, Jordan has established himself as a dedicated and passionate member of the Jewish community, both personally and professionally. He has served as a board member for a variety of Jewish causes, including JUF's Young Leadership Division and the Israel Cancer Research Fund's Vision Board of Chicago.

In addition to his day job as Managing Director at CIBC Private Wealth Management, he is a member of the organization's NextGen Steering Committee. He also participated in the ADL's Glass Leadership Institute and went on to share his insights and learnings from the initiative about strategies to combat antisemitism with CIBC.

As a young leader, Jordan embodies the values of unity and inclusivity by bringing Jewish people together and educating others about Jewish culture.
