Testimonials
I had the sincere pleasure of working with Jesse at The Salvation Army, during a time of huge organizational transformation. Amidst the chaos of constant change and new demands, Jesse remained positive and was a relentless team player. I have always admired Jesse for his way of putting others before himself: colleagues, clients, the stranger who would walk through our front doors. He is a fierce advocate of marginalized peoples, and he doesn’t mind taking risks if it means he can change a life.
Sam Forcum, Global Manager of Outreach at Inteleos
Jesse is a motivated, talented and valuable journalist with a sharp focus on social justice. He is a fearless researcher with a drive to track down the sources and accurate information needed for the piece he is working on. Jesse is loyal to his friends and closest colleagues. Unafraid to share his opinion, he is a valuable asset to a team—challenging the norms of an organization, helping others remain focused and strive for shared goals.
Tasha Lemley, Multimedia Journalist
I’ve had the privilege of working with Jesse Call for little more than 3 years now and in that time I have known Jesse to be a well-grounded and down to earth business partner and colleague. He is a calculated risk taker, pragmatic leader and realist who seems to grasp ideas holistically whilst still taking note to the more acute details. I found this to be incredibly valuable in working with him.
