“Jessica and I worked together for three years in a unique capacity at Starbucks. We were establishing and building important financial services partnerships through cobranded financial products, a credit and prepaid card, with the largest financial institution in the US. She was already an accomplished marketer (loyalty and demand generation), creative agency lead and expert in financial product marketing before she joined the newly formed Starbucks partnership team. As a seasoned executive she was able to apply existing skills to a new business area and quickly picked up new technical skills: how payment ecosystems and technical processes work together to deliver a unique digital experience for cobrand products and how to drive revenue and cost reduction in this vertical through value identification and delivery. Jessica also has strong core competencies and interpersonal skills. She is a fast learner, intellectually curious with a growth mindset. She has so much energy for her work, but also to come up with many creative ideas to improve product, customer value proposition and brand appeal. I would welcome working with Jessica again, anytime.”
