Bio
Brian Terwilliger
Jesse is a top notch platform manager with the hunger and thirst to excel. G4 demanded the most of Jesse and he never turned away from the challenge. Aside from overseeing our digital platforms Jesse was also an integral part in our 3rd-party influencer operations. As a detail oriented manager, Jesse was an exceptional asset to our amazing squad.

If you’re looking for the most curious, motivated, and fast-learning platform manager - you did it! It’s Jesse, you hit the right profile. I hired him to help us launch the G4 network of Twitch and YouTube channels not because he knew everything there was to know about the ever-changing digital media landscape, but because I knew he wouldn’t stop questioning and learning until he did. Digital trends, packaging, and best practices are always shifting but Jesse impressed me the most with his ability to come into a new and uncertain field and recommend dynamic solutions to these strategic problems, and it didn’t matter if it was to me or senior leadership. His charisma, desire to find the answer, and Slack meme game were all irreplaceable assets to the team and I’d love to work with him again!
