Ambassador Committee | Tampa Bay Chamber

Congratulations to Jonathan Browy, a commercial banker with Synovus Bank, for being our Ambassador of the Quarter! Jonathan has been a commercial banker for over 20 years. He returned to the Tampa Bay area in 2000, after five years in New York. “I grew up mostly in St. Pete, and I had always wanted to return to the area to raise a family,” he said.

At Synovus, Jonathan works with business owners and C-level executives, focusing on those with larger and more complex banking needs. Besides being an Ambassador, he serves on the board of SPCA Tampa Bay and is the Advisory Board Chairperson for the YMCA’s Central City branch. This and having two active children keep Jonathan and his wife Marion always on the go.

Jonathan has been a Chamber Ambassador for several years. “I became an Ambassador in order to connect with businesses that find value in their Greater Tampa Chamber of Commerce membership,” he said. While this has occasionally led to business opportunities for Jonathan, he feels that it’s much more about helping companies leverage all of their Chamber benefits. “If I can assist a member in developing a new relationship through a Chamber networking event, or refer them to a skill-building program like our Competitive Edge Series, then I feel that I’ve helped our business community.”

The Ambassador Spotlight is a quarterly award given to an Ambassador who best exemplifies a spirit of volunteerism and dedication to the Chamber’s Ambassador Committee’s focus of serving as member relations support and assists with efforts to retain members through consistent personal interaction and involvement.

Congratulations to Jason Chavez, Regional Account Manager with Platinum Information Services in Tampa Bay, for being our Ambassador of the Quarter! After finishing college in Colorado, Jason moved to Tampa in 2001 looking for a longer boating season and an opportunity in sales. For an outgoing individual who genuinely enjoys helping people, a position in technology sales with Platinum has been a great fit. As competent IT expertise is a necessity for modern businesses to maintain secure and reliable systems, Jason finds it rewarding to see the value of the investment payoff for Platinum customers when it all comes together. Platinum Information Services focuses on Server & Desktop Support and Data Backup/Disaster Recovery for 400+ corporate customers within 10 states.

When not working, Jason can usually be found on or near the water. Sailing & racing one-design keelboats, he enjoys the camaraderie and competition of traveling to the boat events throughout the U.S. and abroad. Jason values the relationship he has with The Greater Tampa Chamber of Commerce as it gives him the opportunity to establish industry partners, generate business, and even bring new people into the sailing community.
