THE SELFSAFE TEAM

Ed Jacobson, President

Mr. Jacobson has over 50 years experience in healthcare financing, garnering distinction as a thought leader, disruptor and mentor in health benefit plan design, wellness initiatives and preventive care. He founded and served as CEO of the highly-regarded ENTRUST family of companies; providing advice, consulting and planning to thousands of employer group plans throughout the country. After selling that business in 2017, Ed’s passion for bringing viable and cost-effective healthcare solutions to patients remained, so he devoted his efforts to creating SelfSafe: An affordable solution for securing and maintaining immediate access to all vital personal and lifesaving information – anywhere, anytime.

Wayne Citron, Partner and VP/Sales

Wayne is an entrepreneur and founding partner of SelfSafe. He has worked from prototype conception through every part of the process and is now Vice President of Sales. He began his career in the investment industry, spending decades as an independent trader affiliated with the Chicago Board of Trade and Chicago Mercantile Exchange. During that time, he ventured into various projects as a teacher and mentor within the financial field, traveling the United States, Europe and Southeast Asia. Through his extensive travels, Wayne realized how vulnerable he could be, in the event of an emergency, when out of touch with his vital information. That was a lightbulb moment when the idea for SelfSafe was born.
