Jean-Paul Gedeon

Jean-Paul Gedeon is a respected Entrepreneur who is enthusiastic and creative, with a passion for life.

Starting in 2000, he's grown a high school passion project into a multi million dollar business.

His lifestyle brand IDEL HAWAII, which soon expanded into the well-known design and printing business JPG HAWAII, has now evolved into JPG MEDIA.

Launched in 2014, JPG MEDIA has quickly become the fastest growing provider of Out-of-Home media in a challenging market where traditional billboards are banned. These limitations led to innovation. Focusing on Malls, Supermarkets, and Vehicle advertising, JPG Media has the most diverse OOH media offering in Hawaii.

Jean-Paul invented and successfully patented the "Super Divider", a Grocery Checkout Divider used to display Advertising in Supermarkets at Checkout. He's been awarded international patents in United States, Australia, Japan, Canada, European Union, and United Kingdom.

President and Founder of the award-winning companies (Best of Yelp [printers], Best Family Run Business, Business Leadership Hawaii)

Gedeon credits his success to the same drive that pushed him to achieve the coveted Eagle Scout badge at 17 or become Oahu's Blockbuster Video Game Champion at 12: the support of his family and community.

Active in philanthropy and many non-profit associations, he serves on the Board of Directors for Entrepreneur's Organization of Hawaii and the Sales & Marketing Executives of Honolulu.

He is also a Paul Harris Fellow of the Rotary Foundation.

Born to a large close-knit family in Hawaii Kai, his most recent passion project is raising daughters Sophie, Sasha with wife Holly Gedeon.
