Jesse Kalkat

Jonathan possesses rare qualities of a great IT Leader. Over the past few years, I've seen him deal with multiple fires at a time in a rapid-growth environment with the poise and calmness of a true professional. Jonathan is consistently thinking of the bigger picture and always keeps the long-term vision of the business in mind when making IT decisions. He is a leader who doesn't shy away from getting technical, and does so with a positive attitude.
