Jesse Stanford

Founder, Cohesion Consulting

Atlanta

Jesse Stanford is the founder and principal facilitator of Cohesion Consulting, a company committed to enhancing the culture of growing startups. Like many of you, Jesse went to school for way too long. She earned a graduate degree that is unique in the business world — professional counseling. She spent two years perfecting her head nods and and "uh huh’s," and has a special knack for identifying the underlying issues in a problem before writing the prescription (figuratively speaking, of course). Jesse also works as an associate consultant for Hay Group, a global management consulting company, where people are often confused that she doesn’t yet have grey hair. In a nutshell, Jesse has the training of a professional counselor, the experience of a corporate psychologist, and is still relevant to a largely millennial workforce.
