NIcholas did all that in the time of his youth, had a daughter and at least 15 years later Jacques came along and set himself up as a good guy as a decent prospective husband for Nicholas's daughter. Nicholas can't have stolen any of Jacques's ideas because Jacques would have been a baby during the time Nicholas was off setting up the SDC and making it a big name. I am not saying he was with Nicholas from the start just that he could have been a financial advisor or accountant for example near the end of Nicholas's reign. You can get screwed over within a day of working at some place. Somebody can steal an idea without having you work for him at all if you didn't properly secure it. A Tesla/Edison kind of situation.

He could of course have no connection with the company at all. So far there's nothing indicating that he worked under Nicholas nor is there anything indicating he didn't work for Nicholas. Neither do we know if Jacques liked Nicholas or disliked him and for what reasons he might dislike him. All we know of Jacques is that he married into the family and that he is a very good businessman. The latter trait is either natural talent, a Semblance or a sign that he was very well trained, perhaps even a combination.

I just find it likely he has some connection to the company due to his marriage to Willow and the fact he managed to convince Nicholas he was capable enough to lead the SDC. He needs to have met Willow some way and the best way to proof you know how to run a company is by having worked at said company and doing a good job.

This is of course speculation.
