about the founder

Jesse is a marketer, entrepreneur, and angel investor who has spent the last 15 years using customer acquisition strategies to build great companies.

He co-founded, scaled, and ultimately sold a D2C brand that today sits on major retailers’ shelves, including Albertsons and CVS. Jesse is a former accountant with executive education from MIT. He was in 500 Startups Batch 12 in San Francisco, where he ran growth marketing for a marketplace startup that he helped scale to 130 countries and raised over $17 million from major funds. He started SEM Growth to partner with select businesses to help them grow via optimizing their paid and organic marketing channels.

"I love what I do. It’s incredibly fulfilling to help founders and small businesses execute their vision. It has literally changed lives, and I’m truly proud of that. Our business model is a lean, agile, high-performing team that elevates the performance and quality of our client relationships. We’re the opposite of a sales-driven agency with junior-level talent."
