“There are few people that I have worked with in my career that have enacted positive change at organizational scale. There are even fewer who have done it with the compassion, conviction, integrity, and intention with which Jacob has. As a Senior Leader, Jacob’s contributions to Blizzard Entertainment and our engineering culture garner the highest recommendation. During my time working with Jacob, he was responsible for the Technical Direction of an Unannounced AAA Incubation title. Jacob was directly responsible for building our engineering culture and growing a team of scrappy R&D engineers into a highly functional product team. As the architect and vision holder for technology on the project, he demonstrated servant leadership, setting a clear direction for the team while also carefully listening to their feedback and aligning them with project-level goals. Jacob’s leadership approach blends a deep craftmastery of Engineering with a humanistic focus on people, allowing him to effectively lead and mentor the best developers in the industry. Jacob’s impact on the organization resulted in a best-in-class technology stack. As a pragmatic thinker, he focused on Blizzard’s core value of “Gameplay First” and successfully led our team through the challenges of early game development and product milestone gates. The resulting technology we built was foundational to Blizzard’s future growth and is being leveraged across the organization. Jacob exhibits a high level of EQ and IQ, uniquely positioning him as a senior leader for large technical organizations. Any organization or team where Jacob works will highly benefit from his contributions. I would work with Jacob again in a heartbeat. ”
