A Brooklyn entrepreneur with a legacy in American retail — and a next chapter in global housing.

Stephen S. Jemal is a Brooklyn-born entrepreneur who built Nobody Beats The Wiz from a single Fulton Street storefront into one of the most recognized retail brands in American history. At its peak the company operated 110 locations across six states, employed more than 6,000 people, and generated annual sales exceeding $2.5 billion. The chain was sold to Cablevision in 1998.

Today Jemal serves as Founder, President, and CEO of JemRock Organization LLC, a New York-based real estate development and construction innovation company. JemRock's flagship platform, BUILT, is an AI-powered, robotic-driven manufacturing system designed to address the global housing deficit of 155 million units across 28 countries.

He leads the company alongside his sons Norman, Solomon, Richard, and James.
