Jesse has a natural ability to connect the dots across complex topics and offer practical, well-reasoned insights. He’s a steady, trusted presence and a true professional."
Matt Deluca, CEO and Founder, Summit Care
Jesse is hands-down one of the most versatile and well-rounded leaders I have worked with. He can integrate HR, legal, sales, and operational functions into cohesive, effective business strategies. His ability to stay aligned with cultural implications, no matter the scale, has led to him repeatedly being recognized as a trusted, go-to executive who remains fully engaged across all aspects of the business. Jesse is well-known for not only driving alignment and long-term success, but for operating with unwavering integrity, character, and a people-centric approach.
Todd Miller, Food and Beverage Director, Target
As a senior executive, I have had the pleasure of working with Jesse McCarty for many years. He is truly a unicorn. I have seen him excel within complex, high-pressure operational roles, and do the same as an HR leader. Whether he's driving engagement, leading learning and development initiatives, driving business objectives, or solving enterprise technology needs, he can do it all. If I started a business, I would feel comfortable having him be my COO, CHRO, or a number of other roles. His ability to connect people with business is truly stand alone.
Dean McCarty, President at McCarty Insurance
Jesse is a Godly, hardworking leader, who leads by example not lording over people. He is skilled at reading people and assessing their skill level at their assigned duties. He is not afraid of new challenges but looks forward to taking on new activities. He loves people and uses money, not the other way around.
AJ Haney, Sr IT Engineer Executive
Jesse is one of those people who upon meeting you feel you are seen and heard. He has an incredible way of being present in all situations. He is not one of those people who are exasperated by technical challenges, or changes, but embraces progress and tackles those challenges head on. While I don’t work directly with Jesse, I have provided support to him and his department for many years and can say that he came into his position at a kind of a tumultuous time. Jesse helped guide our organization and worked tirelessly to bring order to a chaotic problem we had been facing. Jesse is a special kind individual and treats everyone with respect. He is the kind of leader, and the kind of person we should all strive to be.
Angel Yanke, Regional VP at MobilityWorks
I was lucky enough to see Jesse in action, and as a GVP had him on my team. He immediately stood out, and right away I knew he would be something special. We had a number of challenging markets where people continued to fail, and before I could even ask him to take on our most challenging offshore market, he approached me and begged to solve it. He sacrifices his own needs, without avail, and is just plain one of those people who figures out how to make things happen. Time and time again. Within one year he solved problems that others couldn't in over 5, and I was blessed enough to give present him one of Target's highest recognition awards for operational leadership excellence.
Anita McGraw , VPHR
I had Jesse on my team while we worked together in healthcare, during COVID-19's peak. While most senior leaders were running around trying to put out multiple fires, I saw Jesse rise amongst his peers, bring them together, and solve issues collectively. He has a unique ability to see the big picture, has a strong pulse on organizational climate, and most importantly-knows how to pull it all together and drive solutions.
Bill Frerichs, President, COO at Frontier Dermatology
Jesse was the glue in my succession planning when Target found market expansion opportunities across the U.S. and Canada. I had the pleasure of being able to leverage his skillset and ability to build high-performing teams with outstanding culture, very quickly, across HR and Operations.
