ABOUT

Joe Sabol

A Proud Parent and Active Community Member
All three of Joe’s sons have attended Gould Elementary School, West Essex Middle School, and West Essex High School, with his youngest son, Ryder, currently a junior at the high school. This personal connection to the school district gives Joe a deep understanding of the strengths and challenges within the system, and he is committed to making improvements that benefit all students.


A Lifelong Coach and Mentor
In addition to his business achievements, Joe has dedicated much of his life to coaching and mentoring young people. As a coach in wrestling and Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, Joe has helped students develop critical life skills such as discipline, resilience, and leadership. These values are the foundation of his approach, both in coaching and in his leadership roles.

During his time on the West Essex School Board, Joe has worked tirelessly to ensure that every student has access to high-quality education and resources. His leadership is guided by a commitment to integrity, innovation, and collaboration, with a vision of creating a school district where every student can thrive academically, socially, and personally.

 

Proven Business Leader

Joe Sabol brings over 25 years of leadership experience, blending business success and a passion for community service. As the co-founder and CEO of Commodore Partners, an executive recruiting firm focused on building go-to-market teams for innovative technology companies, Joe has earned a reputation for identifying and cultivating top talent. Before this, he co-founded Flashtalking’s U.S. business, where he grew the company from the ground up to over 300 employees and $100 million in annual recurring revenue, culminating in a successful exit. Joe’s ability to build teams, drive innovation, and lead strategic growth makes him uniquely qualified to bring this level of excellence to the West Essex School Board.
