I’m thrilled to announce the newest addition to the Geek Estate team, Jessica Wright. I met her back in 2010 working at YouReach Media, a joint venture between Jim Marks (RIP) and Tom Ferry. We’ve kept in touch over the years, and timing worked out as she’s stepping back into the workforce after a break to manage the Wright household (three young girls). As our new COO, she’s responsible for operations and marketing. We’re currently rebuilding the backbone of the business in Airtable, a project she’s deep in the weeds on (anyone that wants to trade Airtable automation tips, we’re all ears). While not quite through the migration, once complete, we will be better equipped to serve the GEM membership base with appropriate connections, events, and engagement opportunities.

Previously, was Deputy Director at Drive Clean Colorado. Prior, was a Senior Director of Field Marketing and Client Success at SpotX, a video advertising platform enabling media owners and publishers to monetize premium content across desktop, mobile and connected TV devices. Spent two and a half years at AdTaxi Networks as Sales Director, responsible for the revenue goals and growth of two AdTaxi Alliance Partners. Before that, was the Social Operations Manager for Digital First Media (in the Denver Post). Prior, Served as Executive Director and Social Media Strategist with YouReach Media, providing social media training for real estate agents. Was an Office Administrator with Windermere Exclusive Properties in Southern California. Started her career at NJSSI, where she helped update the annual NJ sustainability report.

Not being an ops and process guy, all of that has always been put on the back burner. Doing the bare necessities, but not mastering/optimizing anything. I am beyond excited to be able to hand operations and marketing over in order to focus my time on relationship building, the Transmission series, Peer Circles, and a new initiative we’re bringing to life.
