I worked with Jesse Mercado at Amazon, where I managed products that enable employee's internal mobility. Jesse was responsible for the design and execution of learning materials and in-product training. His customer obsession and innovative thinking turned complex policies into contextual and easy to understand concepts that enabled users to self serve. Jesse raised the bar of content in and outside our products. Jesse is someone that I trust and admire. He will be an asset to any customer obsessed team and product.

Jesse is a purple squirrel in the world of L&D. He understands how to break down complex topics into impactful solutions. This ability is amplified by his creative genius. Really. His ability to create aesthetically pleasing content is bar raising. I relied on Jesse as a catalyst for change to deliver a learning transformation. He's incredibly generous with sharing his experience and at the same time challenges his peers to learn more. do more. be more. The teams outputs were noticeably improved after only a few months of Jesse joining the team. It was a privilege to work with Jesse and I know that whatever he does, he will deliver unparalleled excellence.
