• Stephanie Quick

  “Jake was one of the first hires on the team specifically for his technical expertise and background in commerce content, and he hit the ground running on day one. He is enthusiastic, passionate about tech, and always excited to learn more about the affiliate space. He made the time for a quick hello in the morning, and asked insightful questions about data. He truly was a pleasure to work with on the CNN Underscored team, and he was a great partner that bridged the gap between edit and business. ”

• Elizabeth Fohrer

  “Working in the tech industry representing various consumer electronics manufacturers and service providers for nearly seven years has given me the opportunity to work with Jacob quite closely.

It continues to be such a pleasure working with Jacob because of this spark to learn. ”
