So glad you’re here

I’m Jessie

Right now, I'm looking for a team and culture where where the ambition is real, the collaboration is genuine, and the mission is worth evangelizing.

I'm a strategy and AI enablement professional, and prior to completing my MBA in December 2025, I was at T-Mobile for Business as a Principal Strategist — where I led enterprise transformation, built connected vehicle programs with global OEMs, and redesigned business systems and partnership strategies from the ground up.

What I bring is the ability to hold complexity without losing clarity. I've worked across 200+ stakeholder environments, presented to C-suite executives, and translated messy technical realities into decisions that move organizations forward. I don't just build the strategy — I stay until it lands.

What I Bring

Vision & Strategy

I have led some of the most complex post-merger infrastructure challenges a Fortune 100 enterprise can face — diagnosing the problem, building the strategic roadmaps and business cases, and driving the executive consensus that turned ambiguous problems into funded decisions. I have counseled SVPs and VPs, presented to C-suite, and been the person senior leaders call when the stakes are highest.

AI Enablement & Digital Transformation

Enterprises don't struggle to find AI — they struggle to scale it responsibly, align leadership around it, and translate it into decisions that stick. That's the work I'm built for. I bring the strategic fluency to help organizations move from experimentation to enterprise-wide execution — building the roadmaps, governance frameworks, and stakeholder alignment that turn AI ambition into accountable, measurable progress.

Executive Alignment & Stakeholder Leadership

I am a bridge-builder — creating alignment across institutions, functions, and disciplines where others see gridlock.

I manage complexity across large, cross-functional stakeholder environments, deliver executive-facing narratives that move decisions forward, and secure organizational commitment through strategic partnership and trust. I show up as an evangelist for the mission and a liaison across every level of leadership until the path forward is clear.

Values

Empowering Others

Great leaders don't just set the direction — they clear the path. My leadership philosophy starts with people: understanding what they need to do their best work, removing the obstacles in their way, and building the structure that lets them thrive. I help senior leaders define northstar visions, build the roadmap, and communicate goals and wins with clarity and consistency.

I try my very best to hold the standard of excellence — not from a distance, but by modeling it every day. When things get hard, I stay steady. When people are truly empowered, the results speak for themselves.

Human Connection & Trust

Relationships are not a distraction from work — they are what make work sustainable. I extend trust before it's earned and believe humor and genuine human connection are what hold teams together when work gets challenging. The best teams I've been a part of laughed together as much as they executed together.

Failure Is the Best Teacher

“Your greatest successes are embedded within your most notable failures”.

Setbacks exist for your comebacks. Resilience isn't built in comfort — it's built through challenge, reflection, and the willingness to keep going anyway. Accountability builds more trust than claiming perfection alone ever could.

Data as a Compass,
Discernment as Greater

Sound decisions require sound data — but data alone doesn't lead. I use analytics to discern patterns, surface the real problem beneath the presenting one, but believe that bringing wise direction to ambiguous situations is the right way. Numbers tell you what happened. Judgment tells you what to do next.

AI as an Enabling Technology—People are the Point

I embrace AI into every workflow and believe every organization has a responsibility to provide AI literacy, training, and role evolution for their people. AI has the potential to increase productivity, create entirely new categories of work, and expand human freedom — if we plan for it intentionally. The disruption is real. The opportunity is greater. At its core, AI is a tool — only as powerful as the humans who wield it wisely. The answer to uncertainty isn't fear. It's preparation, leadership, and a commitment to bringing people along.

I’m a problem solver, building with purpose and clarity.

Site Summary

I'm happiest outdoors — hiking with my dogs, finding a spot by the water, or getting my hands in the garden. Travel is where I do my best thinking. It's the most honest way I know to expand my perspective, get uncomfortable, and come back sharper.

My recent trip to France began in Paris. I solo backpacked all the way down the country—down to the French Riviera. The culture, artistry, and craftsmanship behind everyday consumer goods—from fashion to food to fragrance—stopped me in my tracks. I became curious about the international business behind it all. So much of the world's luxury and consumer goods originate in Europe, and I wanted to understand the infrastructure that makes that possible.

Interests

That curiosity led me to pursue an Inside LVMH Certificate in Creation & Branding and Operations & Supply Chain. Beyond the business strategy, what's stayed with me is their philosophy around sustainability — their commitment to biodiversity, ethical sourcing, and preserving natural resources through a cyclical approach to production. It's a model for how large-scale enterprises and genuine stewardship can coexist.

Continuing Education

This opportunity led me to visit the Dior headquarters in Paris, France to see first-hand the construction and making of luxury goods, and to see how business models in this industry are changing. Shifts are already felt as brands have evolved from a “hard goods format” to more “customer unique experiences” focus using the latest technologies of AI in supply chain analytics, raw materials/sourcing tracking, optimized customer metrics embedded in an omnichannel strategy, and even immersive AR/VR in-stores to better communicate the brand and savoir-faire traditions.
